Secrets about APS factory

In one of my articles published in the end of last year, I talked about the friendship between ZF and APS, today, more interesting stores about APS factory will be shared.

First, have you heard of BF? I thought it was a new factory when their AP ROO Diver 15710 and 15720 firstly appeared in the market in 2021, but BF has been in the market for more than 5 years, even has a much longer history than APS, there is a relationship between APS and BF. Their bosses are cousins. BF introduced APS into this industry.

The relationship between ZF and APS is very solid, we talked about this in the article https://www.susanreviews.com/2023/12/23/the-bromance-between-aps-and-zf/. In the early time when APS just entered this market, almost all replica watches were using Asia clone ETA 2824 and 2836 movements, they wanted to use better movements to create better replica watches, so they focused on researching and developing movements at the beginning, absolutely the new movement development process is mainly completed by Chinese traditional movement factories. Take the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve as an example, the earlier model with old movement looks werid, check the picture below.

The Portuguese with old movement

Then APS cooperated with a movement factory in Dandong and developed a new movement, after being installed, the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve below with new movement looks very nice. At that time, APS only sold this Portuguese 52010 movement to ZF. But one or two years later, APS realized that they could not earn enough money by only developing and selling movements to other factories, then they started to sell the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve replica watches by themselves, with the latest 52010 movement they owned, but under another name “AZ”, someone also call it AZF, so, APS and AZ are actually the same team.

The Portguese with new movement from APS

The clone IW52010 is a great success for APS, they wanted to develop another great movement now, especially after seeing the release of Dandong 4130 movement by Noob, APS took the action immediately. They also cooperated with Dandong and developed two movements in 2020, one is JL925 for the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Moonphase, the other is JL938 for the Jaeger LeCoultre Reserve De Marche. The first batch of clone JL925 movement was sold to YL factory, later APS also equipped JL925 in their replicas of JL Master Ultra Thin Moonphase and sold under name of “AZ”. Later this clone JL925 movement was also supplied to ZF and GF two factories.

Next, it is the 3120 movement used in 15400. We know 3120 was developed by JF before, but JF was closed, later the 3120 was improved by a movement factory in Shanghai. Then APS seized the opportunity and accepted all 3120 movements from Shanghai. Now we can see the 3120 in Royal Oak 15400 made by APS is very stable. Later APS offered a small amount of 3120 movement to ZF. And then APS and this movement factory in Shanghai developed the 4302 movement together, we can see 4302 is now used in Royal Oak 15500 made by ZF and APS. The last movement from APS I want to mention here is the 5134 used in Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574, this movement is also very stable, for AP 26574 replicas, I still recommend the ones made by APS, which are more stable than those ones just published by BBR a few weeks ago.

Black King Kong – ZF Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 DLC

Now, there are not too many new models in our market, because of the raid, Noob will not provide watches any more, which means one factory that can offer the best Rolex Daytona, Submariner and GMT-Master II will disappear, you guys lost a very valuable watch resource. However, currently in watch market, no other factory can replace Noob’s position, although Clean factory claimed that they will offer top quality replicas of GMT-Master II and Submariner one month ago, but it is very slow for them to release their watches, I ordered a GMT-Master from Clean factory several weeks ago, and it still have not arrived, maybe it is normal during this special situation. Among these big watches factories, the only one that can keep its previous delivery speed is ZF, once you place an order from ZF, they usually deliver the watch within 3 days.

Today, the watch I am going to show you with pictures is exactly made by ZF, it is an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500, not in silver stainless steel, but in DLC black outlook, the watch is totally in black color, I do not like this style, it is a better watch for a tough guy, for a stainless steel Royal Oak 15500, I still think it is too big for me. Perhaps some people like such type of DLC black watches, just like they asked me a lot about the Submariner PVD black models before. The DLC coating is thick, I think it won’t fade easily.

The DLC version of Royal Oak 15500 has four models, which are different from each other in dial color, there are black, white, blue and gray, I do not like them all, but I must say their quality is very good, you can always believe in the quality of replica watches from ZF, currently their watches represent the highest watch-making technology in the entire watch market.

Here is specification:

Movement: Super Clone 4302, Based on Japanese Miyota 9015 Automatic
Case: 41mm*11mm, Solid 316F Stainless Steel with DLC Black Coating

Top 10 Best Sellers in 2020

Now it is almost the end of 2020, for many people, they lived very hard in this year because of COVID-19. Fortunately, our government has been doing a very good job in controlling the COVID-19 at the beginning, so, COVID-19 now is basically under control in China, we are very safe. When walking on the road or in shopping malls, we do not need to wear masks, but had to wear when taking a train. I read international news every day, I know this virus still goes crazy in the United States and most European countries, so I hope you guys can wear mask when outside, health is the most important thing.

Back to the topic, let’s make a summary before the end of 2020, I will talk top ten best-selling replica watches in this year, it is just my personal opinion, if you never bought replica watches before and just a beginner, you can take my advice and choose watch from this top ten list, if you are an expert, please share your thought with us by leaving comments below.

1.Noob Daytona 116500

Daytona 116500 must be the best seller of Noob factory in 2020, it has been a hot model over one year, and the latest version is V4. Some people think that Noob Submariner should be in the first position, but in my opinion, the Daytona from Noob is the number one, it is more stable than Submariner from Noob, people who bought Daytona from Noob never complained its quality, the movement also had no issues. About Daytona 116500, both models in white dial and black dial are selling very well. Daytona 116500 from Noob is made with 904L stainless steel, it is equipped with Noob’s best Super Clone 4130 movement.

2.ZZF Submariner 116610LV

It is controversial, some people think that Noob Submariner should be in this position, but I think Submariner 116610LV from ZZF is more suitable. In 2020, ZZF made two big improvements on Submariner 116610LV, the first improvement was made on its bezel, now ZZF Submariner 116610LV has the most pure green ceramic bezel, no dark spots and platinum markers never become dark. In my memory, after this improvement, ZZF Submariner 116610LV was soon sold out and people could not get it during the next months. The second improvement was made on the bracelet, it was completed in October, because of this improvement, ZZF Submariner 116610LV has a great quality finish on bracelet, which is the same as that of ARF Rolex. Nowadays, even Noob has updated their Submariner 116610LV to V11 edition, but in the sales, Noob still can not compete with ZZF.

3.Noob Submariner 116610LN

Black Submariner 116610LN has the same popularity as green Hulk, Noob has updated their Submariner 116610LN to V11 edition, it is a perfect replica, actually before ARF and VSF, Noob Submariner has always been the best-selling replica watch, I mean, it had no competitors before and was the best of best in our market, now, many competitors appeared like ARF and VSF, especially VSF, I think VSF Submariner 116610LN will beat Noob Submariner 116610LN in next year. Considering that VSF just published their Submariner 116610LN in the second half of 2020, I think Noob Submariner 116610LN still owned the biggest share in this market.

4.ARF Datejust II 126334 Grey

Datejust is one of the best-selling Rolex replicas, it is reasonable that its position is in No. 4. Among so many Datejust models from different factories, I think the best one is made by ARF, especially the Datejust II 126334 collection. Among 126334 collection, the best-selling one is the grey model, now Datejust II 126334 has been updated to V3 edition, it is made with 904L stainless steel, but unfortunately, ARF only offers A2824 movement option in this watch. Good news for us is that VSF will publish the one with 3235 movement soon, maybe in this month. So, I think VSF Datejust will become the best-selling Datejust in 2021.

5.PPF Nautilus 5711 Blue

The latest version of Nautilus 5711 from PP factory now comes to V4 edition. The most classic model of Nautilus 5711 from PPF is the blue one, many people choose Nautilus 5711 blue model from PPF because they made the dial color correct. PPF Nautilus 5711 is measured to be 8.5mm in thickness, which is very close to thickness of genuine watch, genuine Nautilus 5711 is 8.3mm. By the way, there are also good quality Nautilus replicas made by other factories like GRF, 3KF, PF, etc. If you want Nautilus 5711 with the most correct blue dial color, please go with PPF.

6.ZF AP 15500

The No. 5 best seller is Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500, which is made by ZF. 15500 replica has just been released by ZF, not long time ago, but it has a big amount of sales, which has exceeded the sales of the classic RO 15400. Actually I am a little hesitant because JF RO 15400 is also sold very well, the latest V5 edition of JF 15400 has become so perfect that you can not find any flaws, however, it seems like more people are willing to buy new RO 15500 in this year. I think JF will also publish their 15500 replica soon.

7.Noob GMT-Master II 116710BLNR

Too many GMT-Master II models were published in this year, while the best-selling one is still the Batman 116710BLNR. Several factories make the replica Batman, including Noob, ARF, VRF and V9F, I think the best one is made by Noob factory. GMT-Master II 116710BLNR Batman has been one of the best-selling Rolex replicas of Noob for many years, now its version has been updated to V11, the watch now is made with 904L stainless steel and equipped with a Super Clone 3186 movement. I highly recommend Noob Batman because the black/blue bezel color is correct.

8.VSF Seamaster Diver 300m Black

Omega should have a position in this top ten list, many Seamaster models are selling very well in our market, in my memory, the best-selling and most frequestly asked one belongs to Seamaster 300m, I mean the model with a wavy dial. Real watch was unveiled by Omega in 2018, its replica watch came out in 2019, now there are still many people purchasing this watch. VS factory makes the best replica Seamaster Diver 300m, next is OM factory. Besides this black, a lot of people also love the blue one. For band, VS factory offers stainless steel bracelet and black rubber strap for this watch, about movement, it is the best clone 8800 Calibre with black balance wheel like genuine.

9.V6F Big Bang 44mm

Hublot is a very popular brand, many people love their watches, especially those who love sports activities like football. Because its high popularity in the world, Hublot is also one of the mostly replicated brand watch in our market, there are many good quality Hublot replicas, most are made by V6 factory, the Hublot I want to recommend here is a Big Bang made of stainless steel, bezel is black ceramic, with a clone HUB4100 movement. I think this one is the best seller among all Hublot Big Bang replica watches. Certainly, I have to admit that the Classic Fusion of Hublot is also on hot sale.

10.XF AP RO 15202 Blue

Plus 15202, there are two AP replicas on this top ten list, both 15500 and 15202 are best sellers of Audemars Piguet. After the release of 15202 replica by XF, many people asked about this watch and bought it from me, and the feedback is positive. I also like this replica watch, first, it is made by XF, which is a big factory, so the quality of the replica is guaranteed. Second, the movement is custom made 2121 automatic movement, it offers a time and date setting that is the same as genuine watch. Third, many people bought it mainly because AP 15202 from XF has a thin case, which is measured to be only in 8.2mm. By the way, the latest version of XF 15202 now comes to V2.

XF 15202

In this top ten list, there are five Rolex watches, yes, there are many Rolex replicas that are selling very well in our market, even I can make a list of top 10 or top 20 best-selling Rolex replicas, it is easy. But these ten replica watches in this list are the best of best, highly recommended and they can be your first choice. Certainly, about every brand like Audemars Piguet, IWC, Hublot, Cartier and Omega, I can make a list of top 10 best sellers, it is not difficult to do this, after all many watch factories are making top quality replica watches, they compete with each other, so this forces them to improve their watches quality continuously. If you guys have your own top 10 watches, please share with us.
