Replica Rolex 2026

Last time, I introduced the replica watch of one of the new watches published by Rolex in 2026, it is the Ombre green Datejust, however, please check the article at https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/04/27/new-datejust-from-clean-2/. This Datejust replica watch is made by a small factory in the market, not by Clean.

About this Ombre green Datejust Rolex, VS just published the replica, compared the one I introduced before, the dial color is better on VS. Please check the picture below. The left watch is the V2 edition which VS Factory published this time, the right one is from a small factory. The gradient effect on the VS dial is more pronounced, transitioning from green in the center to black at the edges. However, on the right dial, the gradient is less noticeable, with a clear distinction between the black rim and the green center. Just look at the area of the green part in the middle of the two dials, and it becomes clear.

Watch the video below, the bezel on this V2 Datejust looks very shiny.

Another new Rolex that has a replica in the market is the Daytona 126502. Made by CBD Factory, which makes weighted Rolex Day-Date replicas in the market, please read the review about their Day-Date at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/02/24/cbd-factory-day-date/. Their Day-Date has some issues, I mentioned in this post at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/07/28/rc-day-date-part-ii/.

This Daytona from CBD is a weighted version, there are two movement options to choose, one with regular balance wheel, the other with a free-sprung balance wheel. Its price is even lower than the 116500 Daytona from VS, BT and V. I do not think it is a wise decision to buy this Daytona from CBD now. VS, BT or V may publish this Daytona replica watch later, but I am more looking forward to the QF version, because it will be heavier and the movement will be the genuine 4131 free-sprung.

VS Factory AP 15510

Leave a reply

Last time, VS Factory published the replica AP Royal Oak 15500, I have published the review about it and the comparison between VS and APS, please check the article at https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/04/06/picture-comparison-on-blue-ap-15500-between-vs-and-aps/.

The 15500 from VS is good, so is this new 15510. But I have seen a lot of reviews about the VS 15500 online, many dealers said it is much better than the one made by APS, I do not think so, APS has been making AP replicas for many years, VS is just a new challenger in this field. Each of them has their own advantages in AP 15500, and in this AP 15510.

For this new AP 15510, currently VS Factory has the blue dial version and green dial version, the following pictures I show is the one with green dial.

The following is picture comparison between the VS 15510 and APS 15510.

The left one is from APS, the right watch is from VS. The dial color looks different. VS 15510 has a lighter blue dial color.

The tail of the second hand, its shape is different. On APS, it is rectangular, on VS, it is trapezoidal. The hollow-out part is much bigger on the second hand of APS 15510.

The lug shape is different. The bottom one is from VS, it looks bigger and fatter.

The end link on the bracelet of VS 15510 is more flexible, just like their 15500.

The color of the auto rotor looks different, the movement below is the 4302 movement from VS Factory.

About the 4302 movement used by APS and VS, I mentioned the difference before, VS’s 4302 is not the true free-sprung balance version, because it does not have weights. APS offers two movement options for the 15510, one with regular balance wheel, the other with a free-sprung balance, APS’s 4302 free-sprung movement has weights on the balance. Besides these differences, VS also claims that the auto rotor uses ceramic ball bearing. VS also saying their 4302 movement has the same power reserve time as the genuine AP Calibre 4302, which is 72 hours, I do not believe this, currently no fake movements can achieve such a long time of power reserve.

Picture Comparison on Blue AP 15500 Between VS and APS

Last time, I gave a comparison review on the AP 15500 replica watch between VS Factory and APS Factory, here is the review at https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/01/19/replica-15500-grey-aps-vs-vs/. Today, I will show you the pictures comparison on the blue Royal Oak 15500 AP replica watch between the two factories, like the grey 15500 I shown you before, the main difference on the blue one also lies in the dial color and bracelet end links.

Before showing you the pictures, I would like to express my opinion first. I do not think VS 15500 is better than APS, many dealers posted videos reviews and said VS 15500 is better, actually many of these reviews are not honest. I still recommend the one made by APS. The status of APS factory in AP replica is like what Clean factory used to be for replica Rolex. For a replica Rolex Daytona or Submariner, I think many people will still choose the one made by Clean if this factory is still alive. AP 15400 and 15500 are flagship models of APS Factory, they won’t just hand over this market to others, so in such a short period, the 15500 from VS factory will not surpass the one from APS factory.

The left watch is from VS, the right watch is from APS. The dial color looks slightly different. The blue color on the right looks darker, I do not know which one is closer to the genuine. APS 15500 has a stronger reflection on the dial, I like this finish more on the APS 15500, athough VS claims that their 15500 dial finish is closer to the genuine. Just like the Rolexs made by Clean Factory before, the hands have more three-dimensional polishing, while VS claims that their flat hands are more correct, I think more people prefer the hands of the Rolexs from Clean. While the nameplate of “AUDEMARS PIGUET” on VS dial is better, it is more tridimensional.

About the movement, APS Factory offers two options, super clone 4302 and super clone 4302 with free-sprung balance. The 4302 from VS is a false free-sprung movement, and the movement from VS does not have advantages if being compared with the movement from APS.

What will happen in 2026?

2 Replies

I mean in the replica watches market, what things will happen in 2026? First, some factories will be closed and some new factories will appear. Like Clean, some of those big factories here in the factories will be closed, maybe VS or APS. This thing happened every year. Second, more movements with free-sprung balance will appear. Currently we have seen such movements used in the Richard Mille and Audemars Piguet, actually in Rolex, some factories are also secretly using such movements, for example, UFO and QF. In 2026, we will see more factories participate in the development of free-sprung movements, and its technology will become more mature.

Another thing we care is which factory will become the main competitor of VS. We know VS has occupied the most market share of super clone Rolex, but this factory also has a lot of things that could not be solved, for example, the Rolex market is so big, VS can not take it all, many popular models are usually out of stock, so this is an opportunity for other factories, I think V will have a great development in 2026.

Why V? In the beginning of the closure of Clean, V claimed that the Rolex watches made by them use the same watch parts as Clean, this is important step for a new factory because at that time Clean still has a high recognition in this industry, everyone was looking for their products. And many distributors and dealers are promoting the watches from V. This is a great marketing strategy of V Factory to grow fast, you know, there are hundreds of distributors and dealers, absolutely the quality of V Factory watches is good, otherwise, their prices wouldn’t be even higher than VS’s.

What is the quality of the Rolex made by V? If compare with VS, I think the 40mm Submariner from V is very good, even better than the one from VS. Take a bezel on a genuine watch to make a comparison, the pear on V looks awesome, it’s luster and color are very close to the genuine, or even look the same. Like I mentioned in the reviews on Clean Rolex watches before, the polishing and finish on the hands are the best on Clean, the same finish is also used on the hands of this Submariner from V, the hands look more three-dimensional and do not have burr.

This black Daytona with 4131 movement is also from V. Like the 40mm Submariner above, its hands’ finish has the best quality, the hands appear more three-dimensional, while on VS, the hands look a bit flatter. While the chamfering on hour markers is rounder. For the 116500 white Daytona, perhaps the replica made by VS is better, because the white color on VS looks closer to the genuine.

Conclusion:

What we will see in 2026?

1.Some big factories may be closed.
2.More factories will develop the movements with free-sprung balance.
3.V may become the main competitor to VS.

VS Factory Explorer 124270 Improvement

1 Reply

In 2024, VS published the replica Explorer I 124270, this watch firstly appeared in the market with the iconic DD3235 developed by VS, later the factory developed the 3230 for the Explorer and Oyster Perpetual. When the Explorer 124270 firstly published by VS, there were two big flaws on the watch, first, the movement plate was engraved with ‘3235’, not ‘3230’. Second, the bracelet is the same width from end to end, that’s not correct.

The following pictures show the bracelet difference on the Explorer 124270 between VS and Clean. The left watch is from VS, the right watch is from Clean. The Clean Explorer has a much narrower bracelet, which is closer to genuine, while on the left VS Explorer, the bracelet looks much wider, this is not good. Absolutely this is the old version before improvement

The following pictures show the bracelet dimension of the watch after being improved this time.

After being improved, the bracelet looks much better now. Wider on the end that connects the case, becomes narrower on the clasp end.

The clasp width on the picture, it is about 16.1mm.

On the end that connects the clasp, the link has a width of 14.2mm

The end link that connects the case is measured to be about 19mm.

VS Factory Daytona 126518 Turquoise

Leave a reply

Any Rolex watch with turquoise dial will attract people and is sold at high price, it is the same for a replica Rolex. Do you still know the last Rolex with turquoise dial? It is an Oyster Perpetual model, the replica was made by a lot of factories, but you might not expect that the one with the closest dial color actually comes from a small factory, not from Clean and VS. For this Daytona 126518, the most difficult part to clone is also the dial color. Its replica is made by a lot of big factories, including APS, GM, QF, Clean Plus, UFO, but each is different in dial color.

After our holiday, VS published this Daytona, and this is the V2 edition with extra weight. For all Daytona replicas, VS has upgraded their weight, the Daytona models with stainless steel bracelet have been upgraded to V3, while the Daytona watches with rubber band have been upgraded to V2. This turquoise Daytona from VS has a weight of about 139 grams, it is not the one with the heaviest weight, CBD version has a weight of 158 grams, but VS claims that their Daytona replicas never have case peeling off issue.

How is the dial color on this watch from VS? I think it is much closer to the genuine dial than the one from some factories like GM and UFO. The turquoise color on VS does not look that dark, the color looks lighter, I do not have a chance to see the genuine watch, but found some pictures to compare, the completion of turquoise dial color by VS is indeed better. But I found the color looks darker if I observe the dial at a closer distance. Besides the weight, VS has already improved the gold tone on the yellow gold Daytona watches, now on the V2 yellow gold Daytona, the golden case does not look that yellow, the yellow gold tone looks lighter too.

There are flaws on the dial, the three subdials have correct position and correct functions, but I noticed that the central round part on each sundial stands a bit higher, the round golden edge of the small dial is a bit thinner than that on the genuine, the round edge’s golden tone looks slightly different from the yellow gold tone on the hands.

The replica watch is equipped with DD4131 movement, which is used by three factories, VS, BT and Clean Plus. The rubber band comes with a length combination of E and F, which is suitable for wrist size from 17.3cm to 18.2cm, if you have a bigger wrist size that that, for example more than 19cm, you will need to order longer rubber band by yourself. VS Factory offers F+F length combination for 19.2cm wrist, but usually they do not sell separately, and all Daytona come with E+F by default.

OR Factory Seamaster Bronze Gold Green

Leave a reply

Our new year holiday just begins. Tonight is New Year’s Eve, a wonderful time for family reunion. I do not feel happy everyday, even at this special moment, nobody cares what has happened to me, it has been a long time for me not to laugh loudly.

Today, I want to bring you a replica watch made by OR Factory. About OR Factory and its Seamaster replica watches, I introduced them before, please read at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/12/08/or-factory-seamaster/ and https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/01/26/seamaster-no-time-to-die-vs-vs-or/. This replica watch is another Omega Seamaster from OR, it is a bronze gold model with a green face, which is not a new model, VS published it before, and later they updated its movement.

In the second half of 2025, there are several important moments, for example, Clean was closed, VS published V2 Datejust, APS published 4401 movement with free-sprung balance, the birth of the DD8806 movement, etc. Among these important moments, the DD8806 movement developed by VS is exactly used in the Omega Seamaster bronze gold model, it is also used in the V4 Seamaster No Time to Die by VS. While in this Seamaster bronze gold, OR Factory uses a SH8806. So, there is a discussion about which movement is better, in my opinion, it will not be bad if you buy any one of them, both are good movement, in the finish of some subtle details such as polishing and engravings on the movement plates, I prefer the SH8806 from OR.

The replica watch from OR comes with a mesh bracelet that is made with titanium, the factory also offers a green rubber band with a deployant clasp. The rubber band from VS comes with a pin buckle, this is another difference.

Here are pictures of the Seamaster bronze gold from OR.

Replica Omega Seamaster Bronze Gold Green

The following is a comparison between the replica and genuine. Which one do you think is the replica, the left one or the right one?

Seamaster Bronze Gold Replica vs Genuine

Both bezel and dial have color difference, but not very obvious. The replica has an extra regulator on the balance wheel, the decoration on the movement plate is very close. The genuine watch has a bigger Omega logo on the clasp. On this OR Seamaster, its crystal has a closer shape to that of the genuine than VS, but the OR Seamaster has too obvious blue AR coating, genuine watch does not have.

Last time, I said that OR Factory has been back to the business and they published the Seamaster, I also made a comparison on that Seamaster between VS and OR, please check that review here at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/12/08/or-factory-seamaster/. Today, I will make a brief comparison on another Seamaster watch between VS and OR, it is the most popular Seamaster No Time to Die, I introduced this replica watch on my blog many times before, VS has the latest V4 edition, it is the one I recommend.

The left watch with a red “A” sticker on the crystal is made by VS, the right one is from OR.

Seamaster No Time to Die Dial Color Comparison

The dial color looks different on the two watches above. VS dial has a darker color than OR dial. The dial of OR Seamaster looks slightly dark brown under the light. The color of luminous coating on hour markers is also different. Do you have the genuine watch? Which dial color is closer to the genuine?

The bezel markers on VS Seamaster are thicker.

The bezel pearl on OR Seamaster at the right is bigger. The color of the luminous coating in the round dot is also different.

The right watch from OR, its crystal stands higher above the bezel.

Seamaster No Time to Die Bracelet Comparison

Both factories use titanium bracelet. The mesh bracelet from OR factory has a higher density. I like the bracelet of VS more.

No too much different. The Omega logo on the buckle. OR Factory has a better logo shape on the buckle.

The weight of VS Seamaster is 98.7 grams, while OR Seamaster has a weight of 102.7 grams.

Both factories offer a nato band for the watch. But the logo engraved on the buckle seems not too good on both watches.

The “007” engraving on the nato band of VS Seamaster looks much thickner.

Seamaster No Time to Die Movement Comparison

For the movements shown above, do you know which one is from OR?

Replica 15500 Grey APS vs VS

Leave a reply

VS Factory has published the AP 15500 for weeks, I wrote a review about this watch at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/12/29/vsf-ap-15500/, today, I want to make a comparison review on the 15500 grey model between APS and VS.

I did not see the genuine watch, I do not know which one is closer to genuine watch, I think both are very good replicas.

First, dial color.

The left watch is from APS, the right watch is from VS. Both have grey dial. The grey color on APS 15500 looks slightly darker. And at some angles, the light reflection looks stronger on the dial of APS 15500.

Second, hour markers and hands. Check the two pictures below. Both watches have very good polishing on the hands and hour markers. On APS 15500, the hour markers feature wider luminous material, the white luminescence on the hour markers of VS looks narrower.

Third, date font. Look at the date font below. APS 15500 has a pure white date font that looks slightly thicker. VS 15500 has a warm white date font. The axis of hands looks different, it is solid on both watches, but I like the solid axis on VS more.

Fourth, the first link. Are you able to find the difference on the first link? The two pictures below, first watch is from APS, second watch is from VS. On VS 15500, there is a bigger gap between the first link and the main case. So you can feel the first link and even the entire steel bracelet are more flexible on VS 15500. Because of this, the case of VS 15500 maybe fit your wrist more comfortably.

By the way, like I mentioned before, the bracelet of APS 15500 has 24 links, which has one more link than VS. If you have a big wrist, maybe APS 15500 is a better choice.

Fifth, the comparison of AP logo on the clasp.

APS.

VS.

Sixth, the movement. The following pictures show the SH4302 movement from APS, this is the latest SH4302 with free-sprung balance, APS just released. It features weights. The auto rotor is rose gold, but that sculpture AP looks yellow gold.

The following pictures show the movement DD4302 from VS. It is not real free-sprung movement even you do not see the regulator. There are no weights on the balance. But the golden tone of the auto rotor is better.

I never thought that VS Factory will make Audemars Piguet replica watches, but in last week, they announced that they will make Audemars Piguet 15500, and now, the watch is available, two models just arrived, grey dial and blue dial, later, they will also publish white dial version and black dial version.

I do not know why VS Factory enters the Audemars Piguet market, I also don’t understand why VS factory doesn’t expand production capacity for Rolex, given that demand still far exceeds supply. Do they perhaps think that no other factory can be their competitor in the replica Rolex field? This is true, even Victory Factory, which has the Rolex replicas that have the closest quality to previous Clean Rolex, will not be their match. However, they need to consider their consumers and shouldn’t make their orders wait that long.

About the replica Audemars Piguet 15500, absolutely APS factory made the best one in the past, but if being compared with the one from VS, I do not know which one is better, like I said before, the super clone from different factories has their own advantages. APS made many improvements on the dial of the AP 15500 before, especially on the grey dial version, the AP 15500 with grey dial from APS Factory is considered to be the best one with the closest dial color to the genuine. Now many dealers claim that VS makes a better dial than APS, I do not believe this, this is the first time for VS Factory to make Audemars Piguet replica watch, it is impossible to make this AP perfect on the first try and beat the APS factory, just like a few years ago when APS challenged ZF in the Audemars Piguet field, it took several years for APS to defeat ZF and become the top player in the AP domain.

VS developed a new movement for their AP 15500, not the one used by APS, the clone 4302 by VS is from DD, while the 4302 by APS is from SH. The 4302 movement used by VS is not free-sprung balance, but the 4302 with real free-sprung balance from APS will be in stock soon, APS Factory just annouced this project. So, in a short period, the 15500 from APS is still the first choice for many customers. About the stability of the movement, the DD4302 from VS will have a good stability, but the SH4302 from APS also has been tested for many years, it is very stable.
