APS Factory – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

APS Factory Replica IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve IW501702

I never thought that APS factory will publish this replica IWC watch ahead of Z factory, because Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve is one of the most popular replicas watches from Z factory, many watch fans who want a super clone of dress watch from IWC will think of this watch by ZF, especially the IW500705, which was one of the best sellers in replica watch field in the past. Actually you may not know one thing, the movement in the IW500705 replica IWC is developed by APS factory, not ZF, but this replica watch was brought to be a big boom by ZF. Now the new Portuguese from APS factory has several models, I will take this IW501702 as an example, to see how good it is.

It is a good replica, but not too good, there are some obvious flaws, I think Z factory will solve these shortcomings next, or they won’t make these new Portuguese watches, who knows, after all Z factory and APS factory have a too good brothership.

First, the movement inside the replica is not a super clone IWC movement, it is developed on the basis of a specific Dandong movement, but there are extra plates added on the top, and the jewels on the movement plates have slight color difference with that on genuine movement, by the way, if you wind the watch, check the movement through the sapphire crystal back, some gears not working. These things are ok for most buyers, but APS factory made another mistake, genuine movement is 52011, APS did not change, still engraved 52010 on the plate.

Another flaw on the replica is its dial color, which looks slightly yellowish, the genuine watch is pure white, the color difference is subtle, but I can notice it if check carefully. I certainly believe that Z factory will improve this detail if they are going to make the replica.

The specification of the replica:

Movement: Based on a Dandong movement, added with extra plates and decorated to make it look like IWC 52011, but the movement plate is engraved with 52010.

Case: 316F stainless steel, 42mmx13.2mm, slightly thinner than the old Portuguese model

Crystal: Sapphire, a bit domed on the edge

Dial: Tiny color difference, with a working power reserve indicator, small seconds at 9 o’clock

Bracelet: Blue alligator leather strap, better genuine alligator leather band can be ordered

Back to school season, still very hot in Guangzhou, have you ever prepared any gifts for your boys or girls in this special moment? A watch? Too expensive, even it is a replica watch, much more expensive than before. Those watch factories, always increase the prices again and again, even they improved the movements and watch materials greatly, but they also earned a bigger profit than past. The market is being dominated by several big factories in super clones field, new watch makers are impossible to engage in, but one big boss will appear again if there is a chance, just like the one Clean factory grabbed years ago.

The first watch is Patek Philippe 5712, it is not a new model, PPF made it several years ago, since the birth of this replica, PPF has improved it twice, the first time they made an improvement on this replica was on its movement, whose power reserve was modified to real, this is the second-time improvement, which was done on its clasp, now the V3 comes with a new clasp, and PPF charges extra money on this new clasp.

The second new model is a Jaeger LeCoultre watch with a tourbillon movement, the replica is made by APS factory, it uses a real Chinese tourbillon movement, it has a see-through crystal back, it is a good replica watch, but there are too much difference if you compare the movement between it with a genuine, the decoration on the movement plate, looks a little cheap. I do not recommend this tourbillon watch, the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin moon phase from APS is a more popular model, replicas with Chinese tourbillon movements are more loved on Richard Mille models.

The third new model is the rainbow Daytona from ZF, this is ridiculous, I thought ZF has quited the Daytona business since the announcement of the special prices on their Daytonas, almost no one has recognized the Daytona watches coming from ZF, I do not know why they still choose to produce. For this rainbow Daytona, I still do not suggest you buy from ZF, the New Noob factory has a better one with a better Dandong 4130 movement.

APS Factory Replica Rolex Daytona 126506

A lot of people have asked for a super clone of this new Rolex Daytona watch, however, there is no really a super clone here til today, even APS factory just published the replicas of the two new Daytona with ice blue dial and crystal back. I do not know why Clean stops releasing new watches, I have not seen a new replica coming from them for months, this ice blue Daytona is really a good chanc to widen the gap between them and VS factory, we know VS always wants to catch up with Clean in Rolex field, they launched the Daytona project last time, but I am afraid that this project will fail, not too many people are interested in their so-called Dandong 4131 Daytona.

For this new Daytona 126506, together with the Le Mans Daytona special edition, if a factory can make super clones of them, then they will occupy a market share that is next to that of Clean in Rolex field. Currently only QF and APS have made good replicas of the Daytona with crystal back, but none of them can be called super clones, they are just good replicas. I always do not recommend that Daytona from QF, but these two from APS factory are worth buying, their dial color is better than that of QF, the ice blue color is closer to that of genuine watch. I do not trust the Dandong 4131 movement, which is not as strong as Dandong 4130 used in old Daytonas, the Shanghai 4131 used by APS is ok, I prefer, however, the clasp on both Daytona from QF and APS has a flaw, the side with engravings should be sand finished, while it is polishing. I really hope Clean can bring us the super clone of the new Daytona with crystal back soon.

The latest news

VS factory just announced that they will publish the following replica watches soon, one Rolex, one Panerai and three Omega.

For the 126xxx series Daytona, I do not recommend the ones made by VS factory although they use a Dandong 4131 movement, but I do not think this is a perfect clone 4131 movement because its uni-directional winding rotor. Now it is said that they will also use Dandong 4130 movement in the 126xxx series Daytona because of the short stock of Dandong 4131, this is not acceptable, I would rather choose the one from Clean.

Clean factory just published the following two Rolex Explorer replica watches, in the past, three factories making them, including C+, GM and JVS, now just buy from Clean, these two Explorer from Clean are the best now because they use Dandong 3285 movement inside, this movement is only owned by Clean.

APS factory announced that they willl publish this Daytona 126506 replica watch, the movement in the watch will be Shanghai 4131, this Daytona is really a model that is being loved by a lot of people, many readers here have asked me if there is a super clone of it, I said no, but this one from APS factory is worth a try.

New movements coming soon

Shanghai 4401

Not sure which factory will develop it, VS? I do not know, but it is said that this clone 4401 movement will have a genuine flyback feature, it will equipped by AP 26240 or 26239.

Dandong RMUL

It is said to be the best RMUL movement used in super clone Richard Mille, perhaps developed by APS factory, or BBR? I do not know, and the movement will have about 120-hour power reserve and will be equipped by RM055 and other models.

Shanghai 3132

Will be equipped by the AP Skeleton 15407 made by APS factory, I am very sure APS will install this movement in the V2 edition of their AP 15407, this AP is also a very popular replica watch in our market, at that time, perhaps APS will also share the movement with ZF watch maker.

When will be the V2 Edition of AP 15407 released by APS? I am very excited now.

Why did APS and BT reduce the prices of their Daytona?

BT factory lowered the price first, then the raid happened in the market, and APS factory just reduced the prices of their Daytona, Hublot Classic Fusion and other watches. Why BT and APS lowered the prices almost at the same time? They can not compete with Clean? Yes, but this is only a small part of the reasons. The most important reason is more frequent and strict check in the market, even the boxes printed with Rolex logo now could not be sold in the stores of the street. So, I think the two watch makers BT and APS have realized the danger, even though their Daytona is not as hot as that of Clean, but these two watch makers have the same high popularity as Clean among watch fans in the world. In my opinion, the price of reduction means BT and APS will quit the manufacturing of replica Rolex watches, so if you want to buy their products, need to be quick, especially the Daytona from BT factory. I thought BT will seize the opportunity to make the 126506 Daytona before Clean, now it seems like they want to abandon the Rolex Daytona business.

APS Factory Replica Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Small Seconds

This is the latest work from APS factory, it is a replica of the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin 1218420, now only APS factory makes the replica of this watch, I do not know if their follower ZF will also publish the replica in future.

The best selling replica among so many Jaeger LeCoultre watches is the Master Ultra Thin Moonphase model, which was made by GF, APS and ZF before, now only APS and ZF make it because GF could not be back to the business after that raid in the end of last year. GF went back to the business with a new name GO for some days, just to deal with their stocks, now you can not buy the good quality replica Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moonphase from GF, I thought GF makes the best one although the movement is Miyota 9015 based, but it is very stable. While the one made by APS or ZF usually has movement issues even it uses a super clone 925 movement. Unfortunately there are no super clones of the replica JL Master UT Moonphase with Miyota 9015 movement, only several small unknown factories are manufacturing.

Back to this new small seconds model from APS factory, the replica is equipped with a super clone 896 automatic movement, which is modified on the basis of APS 925 and moonphase and date modules were removed, the whole replica watch is very thin, which is about 9.2mm, but still thicker than 8.1mm on genuine watch. But it is about 1mm thinner than the moonphase model. Because the moonphase module is abandoned on the super clone 896, I think it is much more stable than the 925 of APS.

The replica does not have big flaws, the dial is an exact imitation of the original, every detail on the dial looks perfect, the dial is slightly arched, every hour marker is precisely cut in correct shape, the tridimensional JL logo at 12 o’clock has the same size as that on the genuine watch, the sword-shaped hour hand and minute hand have blasting finish on one side and polishing finish on the other side. Small second hand is running on the subdial set at 6 o’clock, it runs smoothly, not like the moonphase model that has a sudden jittering second hand.

The cow leather band feels a little stiff, you can replace it with a genuine aligator leather band, it is easy to remove the band due to the quick removal system. There are some stores in our market supplying genuine aligator leather straps.

About ZF

I have introduced the stories and development of some watch factories on my blog, including APS, Clean and 3K, a lot of people read these stories and thought they are interesting.

Clean factory: https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/02/17/the-development-of-clean-factory/
3K factory: https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/02/10/about-3k-factory/
APS factory: https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/01/26/secrets-about-aps-factory/

Today, I will give an introduction of ZF. I have talked some things about ZF in another recent post, it is the relationship between APS and ZF, please read it here, https://www.susanreviews.com/2023/12/23/the-bromance-between-aps-and-zf/. Actually I know more things about Clean, Noob, AR and other factories than ZF, there are not many stories about ZF, in the past, I always thought that ZF is a big factory because they have published replicas involving many brands, but I was wrong, ZF is not big, they are not even a watch manufacturer, they just got replica watches from other factories and put “ZF” sticker on, and then sell to their clients, so I finally understand why the watches from ZF have higher prices than other factories.

Not like the other three factories we talked before, ZF is not a watch manufacturer, however, some watches from ZF are still worth buying.

First, the IWC Big Pilot, ZF bought the watches from AZ and changed with a better dial, price is a little higher than AZ Big Pilot. Worth buying.

Second, the IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, this watch from ZF is equipped with a custom-made 52010 movement, which was developed by APS and is the first generation of custom-made movements in this industry, that movement has about 3-day power reserve. ZF also changed with a better dial on the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, and this watch made ZF well-known all over the world. It is worth buying.

Third, Tudor replica watches from ZF all have a great quality, they are worth buying.

Fourth, about AP Royal Oak 15400 and 15500, I always recommend ZF, but now my thought changed, you can directly buy from APS factory, because ZF also got these two models from APS, but sell them at a higher price.

Sixth, it is Patek Nautilus 5711, ZF makes the best replica in the past before 3K factory developed the super clone 324 movement. Now, besides the blue/grey dial version, the replicas of other Nautilus 5711 models, I suggest you buy from 3K.

Seventh, replica Patek Nautilus 5712, only ZF makes it and this watch is really good and the movement is very stable. Worth buying.

Eighth, the last two watches are Franck Muller V45 and Breguet Tradition, these two watches have a very high quality and are worth buying.

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.

Old Portuguese — 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.

New Portuguese — 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.

The Bromance Between APS and ZF

Just in this week, ZF released the replicas of Royal Oak 15450, which have a 37mm case diameter and are measured to be 9.8mm in thickness. They are equipped with the super clone 3120 movement developed by APS factory. There are three colors available, gray, white and blue, please check the pictures of them in the end of this article. Actually I have introduced the replica AP Royal Oak 15450 watches on my blog, they were firstly published by APS factory just two weeks ago, now ZF followed the step of APS and published the same watches. If you ask me which factory makes the best, I would say it is a correct choice no matter which factory you buy from. ZF had cooperation with APS before, but from now on, I am more convinced of their bromance.

Like ZF, APS also has been in this industry for many years, but it is still younger than ZF. When APS just entered this industry, ZF has been famous for some time because of some Panerai replica watches they made, for example, the PAM 127, this is a very hot replica Panerai watch in the past, ZF made it really good and competed with Noob. In 2016, APS seized an opportunity and cooperated with YL factory, both developed an important movement together, which is the clone 51011 that was later used in the replica IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve watches made by ZF. So, we know that the famous watch Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve from ZF is actually using the movement given by APS factory. Even YL also published the replicas of Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, but they still could not compete with ZF at that time, some people said that ZF has better finish on the case and dial on this replica watch.

Why did APS give movement 51011 to ZF? I guess they need the protection of ZF, because APS just entered this industry and ZF has a strong background. Do you still remember the raid ? I do not know exactly whether it happened two or three years ago, many big factories were closed, including Noob and ARF, but ZF and APS survived.

Next, it is about the super clone AP 3120 movement, which is also developed by APS factory. In the past, ZF used a Miyota 9015 movement in the Royal Oak 15400, on the basis of Miyota 9015, ZF added extra plates and made decorations to let final movement look closer to genuine AP 3120. Several years later, APS spent money and developed a super clone AP 3120 movement, as far as I know, this movement was manufactured by Shanghai xx xx. Because of this movement, the case thickness of replica Royal Oak 15400 and 15500 is much thinner and closer to that of genuines. By the way, APS also gave this movement to ZF, that’s also a big reason why 15400 and 15500 from ZF are being sold so well. Seeing from this thing, the friendship between ZF and APS is really solid. APS factory has also published the replicas of 15400 and 15500, they continuously improve them, but their watches are still not sold as well as ZF.

APS acted faster than ZF but they are always thinking of the latter.
