Holiday News

It is our National Day holiday, which will end on October 8th, but the factories will accept orders after today. In these days, one thing mostly discussed in the watch market is that Clean Factory has been back to the business, they changed a new name, which is Clean Plus, did you buy from them? I heard that this is not the same factory as before, at least the watch assemblers are not the same ones that served in Clean before, so the quality may not be the same. In recent days, many new models appeared in the market, most of them are from APS, including the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin, which is a new model from JLC, AZ Facyory made the old model before, now APS published the replica, which is equipped with the same super clone 938, the watch looks great, the case thickness is close to that of genuine, the functions on the replica also work, but I do not suggest you buy it, because the movement stability is not improved, it is the only replica watch with super clone movement which I do not recommend, when I introduced the story of APS Factory, I mentioned this movement, it has a high repairing rate.

This watch look really nice, it is said that the 938 movement in genuine watch is also not very stable, is that correct? Is there anyone here that has bought the genuine watch?

Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Replica Watch

The left stainless steel watch looks classic, but I like the rose gold one more on the right.

Replica Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Stainless Steel

Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Power Reserve

In original position, you can rotate the crown to wind the watch, I just did this, I winded, please notice the small hand on the power reserve indicator at 10:00, it moves from 1/4 to 1/2. No need to fully wind the watch because when you wear the watch on your hand, the auto rotor will move to gain energy.

At 2:00 on the case, there is a button for you to push with a tool to adjust the date, which is displayed on the round small dial at 2 o’clock. The factory offers that tool for free.

On the replica, the engravings on the movement plates look shallow, not deeply engraved.

Whether the stainless steel model or the rose gold model, they are all equipped with a calfskin leather band with quick release system. The band feels a little bit stiff, but you can buy and replace with a genuine aligator leather band. The stainless steel watch comes with a deployant clasp.

The rose gold watch comes with a pin buckle.

On the central hour hand and minute hand, there are two sides, one is polished, the other is matte finished.

The second news is about V7, some people said it got raided on September 30th, but some people said they are fine, they still offer watches.

The third news is about VS. This factory has been very busy after the closure of Clean, their business is booming, now in mens Rolex Datejust field, the boss is VS, no others can compete with them especially the V2 came out.

V2 Datejust from VS has six models now, including the blue, green, gray, black, green rome and the blue one with rome markers.

The plastic bag on V2 Datejust now has an elephant sticker.

Each watch will come with a card, which is upgraded, with a golden edge now.

There are also other features about the new V2 Datejust from VS, I introduced them before, please check them at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/08/18/vs-factory-datejust-v2/.

New Pilot Chrono Watches from APS

Leave a reply

Since 2025, APS Factory has brought us a lot surprises, the biggest one should be the super clone 4401 movement they developed and then being equipped in the AP26240 and 26420. From the past to the present, APS Factory can always brought us good movements, and they have maintained this good tradition. Last time, I remembered that they also developed a movement for AP 26331, which is the movement I even do not think is a super clone movement, however, I really hope that this super clone 69385 which they made for the IWC Pilot Chrono watches can get a great success like their 4401, after all, many watch fans have been waiting for a long time for these IWC Pilot Chrono watches.

For the new IWC Pilot Chrono replicas watches from APS Factory, there are three models in blue dial, green dial and black dial, each also comes with two band options, which are stainless steel bracelet and leather strap. In promotion, APS Factory claims that the movement factory spent three years in researching the genuine IWC Calibre and finally developed it, each component can be interchanged with the original movement, that’s a little exaggerated, but I think this movement will be better than the one used in AP 26331. Movements usually have complicated structure, I do not have too much knowledge about them, but seeing from the movement comparison picture below, this clone 69385 movement looks very close to the genuine Calibre. The most important thing is its balance wheel is positioned at 8 o’clock, which is the same as that of the genuine movement.

About the functions of the watch, APS Factory make them correct. Every function is the same as that of the genuine. We know some factories already made these Pilot Chrono IWC replicas watches before, like the ones from TW Factory, but their functions are wrong, the subdial at 6 o’clock has a fixed small hand, the small second hand is running on the subdial at 9 o’clock, this is a big flaw which you can just notice from the dial. Now on APS Factory version, the small second dial in red is running on the subdial at 6:00, other two small dials act as 30-minute chrono counter at 12:00 and 12-hour chrono counter at 9:00.

The watch has a correct case size, which is 41mm in diameter and 14.5mm in thickness. The crystal has blue anti-reflective coating. The watch comes with a quick-release band. However, there is a flaw on the case, one inside edge of the lug is too sharp, look at the picture below, the place marked at red.

APS Factory wins

Which Rolex replica watch looks closest to the genuine watch? This is a very easy question for many people. But when you ask which Richard Mille replica is the best, few people know. After years of development, the replicas of Richard Mille have higher and higher quality, if you are going to buy one, I suggest you choose from the three models, which are RM35-01, RM35-02 and RM055, these are also the three Richard Mille replicas which factories are competing fiercely with each other. For example, in the very beginning, about three or four years ago, no factories are making good quality replicas of Richard Mille RM35-02, some mod workshops like Sonic and ABD are making it secretly, later their watches are promoted in our market and more people knew them. Even the RM35-02 published by ZF later used the case developed by ABD that has very beautiful and real forged carbon texture. APS is the last factory to make the RM35-02, before that, we know they already produced the RM055, however, in this battle of RM35-02 between Sonic, ZF and APS, which factory finally wins? I think it is definitely APS.

Just two or three weeks ago, APS just published the replica RM35-02, with the newly developed movement made by DD. However, that movement has a hairspring regulator, which is a very noticeable flaw if checking the movement from the crystal back. You can see the picture below. Almost all movements from DD used in replica watches have this flaw, but that does not mean the movements are not good, on the contrary, they are more stable and accurate than most other movements in this industry. To my surprise, in less than a month, APS Factory carried out further improvement on this movement of the RM35-02, and they really did a free-sprung balance, now a true super clone RMAL1 movement came out, from APS only. And the latest version of RM35-02 with this super clone RMAL1 is called V2 now.

The extra regulator on the balance wheel.

Look at the pictures below, on top of the balance wheel, the regulator was removed and the weights are added on the balance wheel, the true free-sprung balance comes out. But this is not the first movement with free-sprung balance appeared in our market, some mod workshops are offering the service of free-sprung balance modification on many watches like Nautilus 5711, Aquanaut, Daytona, etc., but for this super clone RMAL1, this is the first movement with free-sprung balance formally made by a famous watch maker. Then how about its stability? You guys must concern, this still needs time to test, after all the movement just came out, if the modification is not good, the stability will be affected, I will keep you posted about this movement in future articles.

New RMAL1 Movement — New Movement with free-sprung balance

APS Factory Audemars Piguet 26420

APS Factory published several models for this watch weeks ago, a reader commented on my blog to ask me to do a review on this watch, I can not give you a detailed comparison review side by side because I do not have the genuine watch, I will do a brief review later. Before that, I want to tell you a bad news, which is Clean Factory got raided in last week, I was about to announce this news on my blog but I thought you guys have known this, their warehouse was found, so, you know it will be very hard for them. I do not know if they will be back to this business, may be not, just like the raid happened on Noob Factory several years ago, and Noob did not come back. Some people said Clean will be back soon, some dealers on the internet said Clean is accepting orders now, this is not true, currently ordering from Clean is impossible. If they really are able to come back, I think it will be one or two months later. Anyway, it makes perfect sense if they are really getting out of the business, after all, they already have had enough money.

Back to the Audemars Piguet 26420 which APS Factory just published, there are four models, please check the pictures below. I only suggest you buy the stainless steel watch with black dial and the rose gold one, the other two have big flaws. The one with gradient dial has a different dial color, the blue watch is made with stainless steel, while genuine watch is titanium made. APS Factory made a big mistake, they made the blue one with stainless steel, this is not acceptable, every time APS Factory acted very fast but they do not work carefully as they used to. For example, in replica 15400 and 15500, more people bought the ZF version before, but APS Factory did improvements on both watches step by step, finally their AP 15400 and 15500 have a better quality than ZF and have become one of the best replica watches in this industry. I can not believe such a big factory made an obvious mistake on this AP 26420. Among so many factories in the market, Clean is the most meticulous in its work, they usually perfects their watches in one go, no major upgrades needed later, this is also the reason why Clean got raided, they make Rolex replicas too good.

Replica Audemars Piguet 26420 Smoked Brown Dial

For this Audemars Piguet 26420, in the past, APF made it, but they use a common Chinese chronograph movement and the watch it too thick. APS Factory uses a super clone 4401 movement and makes the watch with a correct case thickness, which is about 14mm. The case has a 43mm diameter, the bezel and the chrono pushers use black ceramic. The case has very good brushed finishing, the black ceramic bezel has brushed finish on the front and polishig on the side. The edge of the ceramic crown has rounded polishing, it does not feel sharp but very smooth.

The crystal of the APS 26420 has obvious blue AR Coating, while on genuine watch, the anti-reflective coating does not look that blue.

On the dial, there are big grids, each grid has fine vertical patterns in a close-up view, on the corner of each grid, there is “X” that connects with each grid seamlessly, even if you check carefully, there is no burr on the edge of every grid. While the axi of each hand looks slightly different from that on genuine watch, on genuine watch, the solid axis pin is small and looks more obvious.

For the date window, the gen-style deep recess is not that obvious on the replica 26420.

The band is easily removal because of its quick release system, however, APS does not offer extra leather strap for the watch, there is only rubber band on the watch.

The movement is a super clone 4401, currently only used by APS Factory. It is equipped by APS in the AP 26240 and 26420. The previous 4401 has some differences with the genuine AP 4401 Calibre, especially on the balance wheel, the APS 4401 has regulator and does not have weights. It is said the upgraded V2 4401 will come out soon, the regulator will be removed and weights will be added to the balance wheel, at that time, the 4401 will look much closer to the genuine AP 4401 Calibre.

By the way, the rose gold 26420 APS Factory has published has a very close gold tone to that of genuine.

Stop Watch War

Leave a reply

I heard that THB is going to publish the 24-hour Le Mans Daytona, or has the watch already come out? I did not find this watch from THB on the internet, maybe still need to wait for several days. Actually this watch company already made this replica Daytona in last year that was sold under the name of “APS”, now APS is selling this watch at a special price. I explained that both APS and THB are the same watch company, why did they decide to make another one? Because the last one they made was not sold well, and the movement 4132 now has a real 24-hour chronograph, the last one from APS still used a 12-hour chrono. But the most important reason is THB can sell this Daytona at a much higher price, to earn more money. After this watch is available, I guess THB will promote the sunburst finish on the dial as a selling point for this Daytona, because the Le Mans Daytona just released from Clean does not have obvious sunburst finish, THB thought this will be a great opportunity. Will THB sells this Daytona at a higher price than Clean? This is certainly a war between them, just not as fierce as the war happened in the weighted Day-Date Rolex field. The following pictures are the dial details of the Le Mans Daytona made by Clean. What does the dial of the genuine watch look like? Does it really have a strong sunburst effect?

The war in the weighted Rolex is happening. Sometimes such war is good for our watch fans, sometimes not. For example, in the weighted Rolex Day-Date, at the start, GM is the first factory to make the weighted Day-Date, then Q Factory made the Day-Date with weight that is closer to that of genuine, THB Factory also participated in the competition and made the Day-Date with weight that is almost the same as genuine, and then CBD made the Day-Date with the same weight as genuine. From initial similar weight to final same weight, is this really a big progress? I do not think that’s entirely true. THB Factory added too many links on the bracelet to increase the weight, while CBD added the thickness of each link to increase the weight, most clients usually do not need that long bracelet, this is a waste of money because THB charges a high price on the Day-Date. On the CBD Day-Date, the bracelet is too thick, this is not an improvement but is a manufacturing compromise just to gain weight, the wearing comfort is also not good. The same thing also happened on the Le Mans Daytona from Q Factory, this factory has two versions for this Daytona, regular weight and heavy weight, the only difference between them is that the heavy weight version just has a longer bracelet, but Q Factory sells it at a much higher price than the regular weight version, is this a scam our clients should be aware of?

In the market, the golden Day-Date and golden Daytona with increased weight made by most factories have several issues like case peeling off and engravings not good, the watch manufacturers should take this seriously, not just using exaggerated claims in their war to gain customers and orders, while the cost is passed on to us customers.

Movements

In the past five years, whether in material, finish or movement, the replica watch industry has made a big huge progress, do you agree?

Today, I will give a brief introduction of the movements used in the super clones. These movements were different from the ones used in the replicas made eight or ten years ago. Now, people are knowledgable in this field, they know every factory, their background and their famous watches models, they also know which movement is more trusted. The movements in the market are usually made by the movement factories in three places of China, which are Dandong, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

First, the movements from Dandong. Too many, there are 4130, 4131, 3235, etc. Many people know this movement factory because of the 4130 movement firstly used by Noob Factory. Now, the 4130 is being used by a lot of factories, including Clean, VS, BT, New Noob. Dandong 4131 is being used by VS and Clean. The Dandong 3235 is only used by VS Factory. Dandong 4130 is the most successful movement developed in replica watches industry, it is also the most stable chrono movement. It seems like every movement from Dandong is very stable, except the 925 and 938.

The best chrono movement in replicas – Dandong 4130

The two pictures below show the Dandong 3235 movement, also called VS 3235 or Custom VS 3235, it is only used by VS Factory, you can find this movement in their Datejust, 41mm Submariner, Oyster Perpetual, YachtMaster, Sea-Dweller. This is the best clone 3235 movement in the market, known for its high stability and long power reserve that is up to 72 hours.

Best clone 3235 movement- only used by VS

One movement from Dandong should be avoided, that is the 938, which is equipped by the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Q1372520. This replica is mainly made by two factories, AZ and ZF. Do not buy this watch, this movement will easily have issues during use. Almost every replica of this watch sold by the two factories will have movement issues.

938 movement, developed by APS, we should not buy the replica with this movement.

Another movement from Dandong is also not too stable, it is the 925, which is equipped by Jaeger LeCoultre moon phase. This replica is made by APS and ZF, a very popular watch, but its movement is even not as stable as Dandong 7750.

Replica Jaeger LeCoultre Moon Phase 1368430

SL6000 movement from Dandong. Equipped in the replicas of IWC Portuguese 7 Days PR and Big Pilot, currently used by AZ and ZF. This movement is nice and has a power reserve of more than 50 hours. The Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve from ZF is also the replica I highly recommend, very classic.

8500 and 8900 from VS Factory, also developed by Dandong. The replicas of Omega Seamaster 150m and Seamaster 600m from VS are using these two movements, which make VS Factory famous all over the world.

P.9000. Only used on Panerai by VS Factory. 8500 and P.9000 these two movements are the cornerstone of development of VS Factory.

Next, let’s talk about the movements from Shanghai. First, it is the SH3135. There are two generations, the first generation has been abandoned, now all watches are using the second generation of SH3135. This movement has the same high stability as that of Dandong 3135.

SH3235. Except VS, other factories are all using this movement, for example, Clean uses this movement in their Datejust, 41mm Submariner and Sea-Dweller. This movement’s stability is ok, but the power reserve is around 45 hours. If you want a Submariner from Clean Factory, I do not suggest you buy the 41mm model, the 40mm Submariner with Dandong 3135 movement is a better choice, it is more cost-efficient.

Shanghai 7750. This is not a very good movement, but it is being widely used in the replica watches. In the past, Z Factory random used Shanghai 7750 and Dandong 7750 in their IWC Portuguese Chrono replica watches, people who got the watch with Shanghai 7750 was unlucky because this movement is not stable.

In the last, it will be a movement from Hangzhou. The movement is 72a0, which is being used in the Datejust and YachtMaster of EWE Factory. EWE modified its look to Rolex 3235. This movement is great, its power reserve is up to 60 hours. The Blancpain 50 fathoms from Z Factory also uses this Hangzhou movement.

Top Ten Best Sellers in 2024

2024 is an important year both for our watch makers and watch fans, we welcomed a lot of new models that have been made with breakthrough watch-making technology. The absolute protagonists in last year are VS and APS, we do not deny that Clean still occupies the largest market share in Rolex field, but VS has already caught up, and APS indeed brought us many surprises. Hope they can release more super clones in future.

1.Clean Factory V3 GMT-Master II Pepsi

For this GMT-Master II Pepsi, it has been improved by Clean Factory for two times, now the latest version is V3. Upon V2, the biggest improvement lies in its ceramic bezel, it is said that the color has been corrected to look closest to that of genuine, while some persons still like the bezel color on V2, still a bit controversial, however, there are still a large amount of watch fans chose to buy this V3 from Clean. By the way, I also only recommend Clean if you want super clone Rolex GMT-Master.

2.VS Factory Daytona 126500

For the new 12xxxx series Daytona, VS Factory has the best movement, Clean has the most complete collection. Since the last upgrade VS has made on hands of 126500, the sales of their Daytona 126500 suddenly improved. This Daytona 126500 from VS is equipped with a super clone 4131 from Dandong, which is supposed to be better than the Shanghai version used by Clean.

3.Clean Factory Daytona 116518

With a yellow gold case, ceramic bezel and black rubber band, this Daytona is one of the best-selling Daytona replicas from Clean. For the sales of Daytona in the market, Clean still occupies the biggest market share, the competition between VS and Clean in this area is still fierce. Actually, every Daytona made by Clean can be put onto this top ten list, they are really perfect clones.

4.Day-Date Heavy Version

I put this watch here just because the heavy version of Day-Date Rolex is really popular, in the past year, many people were asking the weight of a Rolex they were going to buy. And today in Day-Date field, more and more people are participating in the production of heavy versions of Day-Date Rolex replicas, including GM, QF, K, CBD, THB, etc., customers are also more confused than before. Well, currently I recommend two watch makers, GM and THB. GM is the earliest factory that makes the heavy version, they have price advantage, THB has a high price, but they use super clone 3255, the finish is better.

5.PP Factory Nautilus 5712 V3

The 5712 made by PP or Z has been upgraded to V3, with super clone 240 movement and new clasp. We can see that Nautilus moon phase 5712 from PP is very popular in the market, many dealers provide extra service to upgrade its dial with SW Dial and Hands, just like they do on Nautilus 5711 from 3K.

6.VS Factory Grey Datejust with Jubilee Bracelet

You can buy this Datejust from VS or Clean, both versions are very good. I more recommend Clean version before, but modded watches are very hot today, more people buy this Datejust from VS Factory and then made some modifications, for example, replacing its bezel, dial and hands with the bezel, dial and hands from genuine, this is a great idea, and this won’t cost you too much. The super clone DD3235 movement allows watch fans to to this job.

7.APS Factory RM055

Richard Mille has been very hot in the past two years, APS Factory made big improvements on the RM replicas, especially on the model RM055. This RM055 soon became the best seller in Richard Mille field once being published by APS.

8.APS Factory AP 15407

More AP watches can be put in this position, such as 15400, 15500 and 15720 from APS, but people seemed to be paying more attention to the AP 15407 in past year, since that, APS made a big improvement on the balance wheel of this watch. Many watch fans are still not satisfied yet and seeking for trusted source that could add double working balance wheel, it can be done, but too expensive.

9.QF Daytona Le Mans

QF is the watch maker that produced this Daytona, they provide two versions, regular weight version and heavy weight version. I do not suggest you buy the heavy weight version, because they added extra links to increase the weight. By the way, Clean Factory will also publish the Le Mans Daytona soon.

10.3K Factory Nautilus 5711

This watch deserves a more forward position, it is a very popular watch in modded watch market, many people bought this watch from 3K, replacing its dial, hand and date wheel with SW Dial, Hand and Date Wheel, it seems like more and more people are accepting this modded watch now.

There are a lot of other watches that were also sold very well in the market, especially Rolex watches, there are too many, Submariner, Datejust, Daytona, they can even make a top 10 or top 20, every Rolex coming from VS and Clean should be a super clone, no doubt about this. Every one has their own top 10, I can not include every best seller in this list.

Two new models and coming holiday

Our Chinese New Year holiday will start soon, I think most watch factories will be on holiday after this week, the shipping company will stop providing service on Jan. 23. In the beginning of 2025, since January, we have seen a lot of new replicas, but the most important watch should be the Audemars Piguet 26240 Flyback, now the replicas of AP 26240 have stainless steel in black, white, blue, green and black ceramic available from APS. But in last week, APS just published a rose gold model, which is the following one with blue dial, and they will publish another rose gold one with green dial in this week, I think many of you guys have been expecting this green gold one for a long time. The replica 26240 has a super clone 4401 movement that can provide the flyback chrono function, which is another breakthrough improvement in this industry.

The second new arrival replica is a Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT model made by M+ Factory. The watch is made with Titanium that is brushed, the case is measured to be 42mm in diameter and 12.7mm in thickness. The bezel is bi-directional rotating with a black ceramic insert in matt finish. The entire watch is only 70.2 grams in weight. M+ is a very low-key factory in our market, they have only made a few models, but every piece is high quality. This Tudor FXD GMT replica will become another best seller, it has a very correct color in the bezel markers, hour markers and hands, the GMT hand and printings “PELAGOS GMT” are also in the sams orange color as that on genuine watch. The green fabric band with unique logo makes it distinguishable among all Pelagos FXD models M+ Factory has produced. M+ also offers one black leather pack for the watch.

APS Replica AP 26240

The most important watch, which we have been expecting so long, is finally available now. Now, only stainless steel models and the black ceramic model are available. APS Factory has really made a lot of popular replica watches in past years, I think this AP 26240 will become another best seller in 2025.

In Audemars Piguet field, it is not hard to find super clones, there are popular Royal Oak 15400 and 15500, these are really made very well and the most outstanding AP replicas, but for watch fans who seeking for chrono models in AP, the 26331 from OM has some defect in function, while those AP ROO Sec@12 models have decreased in popularity since the closure of J12 Factory, so it is very important for AP watch fans to find another flagship model in AP RO Chrono collection, hope this 26240 made by APS can complete this mission.

Currently for the stainless steel 26240, there are four models available, each is different in dial color, there are black, white, green and blue. Together with the black ceramic one, there are totally five models being released. The case is 41mm, I measured its thickness, about 12.68mm. Stainless steel model is about 170.8g in weight, the ceramic model is 162.6g in weight.

Equipped with the super clone 4401 movement, tts chrono function is different from that on Daytona. Push the button at 2 o’clock, the central second hand will start to move, then you push the button at 4 o’clock, the central second hand will back to zero but will not stop, next it will move again. If you want the central second hand to stop moving, push the 2:00 button again, it will stop immediately, then push the 4:00 button, the central second hand will back to zero and not move. This is real flyback chrono function.

The rose gold model will be published soon.

APS Factory AP 26240 will be available soon

This will be a bomb in 2025, because it is said that this watch will be available in the end of December 2024, so you will see it soon in January 2025, it must be a very important gift for our watch fans in the new year, some people have been waiting for it for a long time.

APS Factory has made a lot of contribution to this industry in 2024, the V2 edition of super clone RMUL2, AP 15407, you guys already know these things. This AP 26240 made by APS Factory has a super clone 4401 movement, which is developed by a movement factory in Shanghai. The movement now is only used by APS Factory, I do not know if APS will give it to ZF to use in future, but considering their good friendship, I think yes. Not like the 26331 published by OM Factory, this 26240 AP super clone has all working functions, the chrono works perfectly. And the movement will be stable.
