Here’s the latest offering from APS factory, which has primarily become known for its Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica watches. Among their collection, the Royal Oak 15400 stands out as the flagship model, thanks to its top-tier clone of the 3120 movement. When it comes to AP replicas from APS, the quality is generally solid, especially considering the 15400’s movement. However, APS is still not quite on the same level as larger factories like ZF or J12, who have been making AP replicas for a longer time, with a higher standard of finishing on both the case and bracelet.
This time, APS has introduced two models of the AP Royal Oak 15407: one in stainless steel and the other in rose gold, both featuring a skeleton dial and powered by the 3132 movement.
The stainless steel version of this replica watch is crafted from 316L stainless steel, with a 41mm case diameter and a thickness of 10mm. The case showcases fine vertical brushing, and the octagonal bezel is a perfect clone of the original, with polished edges that contrast nicely with the brushed case. However, the engraving on the crown, which reads “AP” in a sanded finish, isn’t as sharp as those seen in ZF’s AP replicas, meaning APS still has room for improvement in this area.
The dial is openwork, offering a view of various machine parts—a design that appeals to many, especially those who have asked for a good replica watches of this skeletonized AP before. However, this style isn’t to my taste, and I personally prefer the more traditional models, like the 15400 and 15500.
Finally, let’s talk about the 3K factory. Known for producing Patek Philippe Nautilus and Aquanaut replicas, 3K’s production of Patek Philippe models has slowed down recently. Today, I discovered the reason: 3K has started producing Daytona replicas, now branded under the name BT. Their Daytona is quite expensive, but the good news is they’ve included the super clone 4130 movement, which makes it a standout in terms of quality.
