This is a custom-made Audemars Piguet watch, featuring the iconic octagonal bezel of the Royal Oak. Often referred to as the “Iron Man,” this piece is made entirely of stainless steel, with no other materials used. The dial is also crafted from stainless steel, with a minimalist design—just the hands and a date window at 3 o’clock. The clean, unadorned look aligns perfectly with the “Iron Man” aesthetic the watch aims to portray. Although it’s unclear which company produced this custom AP Royal Oak, it has certainly captured the attention of many, and some enthusiasts are eager to try out this fresh, bold design.
Recently, APS factory has released a new replica of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak before ZF, and there’s hope they’ll continue this momentum in the years to come, potentially surpassing ZF in the world of AP Royal Oak replicas. APS has the potential to dominate the market, especially with popular models like the 15400 and 15500, which have a significant share in the replica world. The key advantage APS holds is its movement—the 3120 movement used in the Royal Oak 15400 is widely regarded as the best clone of the 3120 in the market, surpassing even ZF’s version. With further improvements in case and bracelet finishing, APS could easily become the leader in the replica AP market, just as JF has been the top name in the replica AP scene for over a decade. It’s clear that the community hopes APS will rise to this level, making it easier for customers to choose the best Audemars Piguet replicas.
As for the quality of the case and bracelet, much like other stainless steel Royal Oak replica wacthes, the “Iron Man” model feels substantial on the wrist. The polygonal steel bezel is fitted flawlessly, and the case and bracelet’s finish is impressive. A quick way to assess the quality of the case and bracelet finish is to feel for any rough edges or corners. Top-tier factories usually take extra care with these details, leaving no harsh or scratchy textures. The replica AP Royal Oak “Iron Man” is powered by the super-clone 3120 automatic movement, which is considered the best replica watches of the 3120 movement on the market—far superior to the ZF version. You can easily tell if it’s a super-clone by looking through the display case back, where you can observe the intricate movement components. The 3120 developed by APS is not just a modified Miyota 9015 with extra decorative plates; it’s an entirely refined and improved version.
