- The Royal Oak series from Audemars Piguet is highly popular and considered an entry-level model among their collections. In the replica watch market, the Royal Oak 15400 made by J12 factory is particularly sought after and is often hailed as the best replica Audemars Piguet available. Today, I would like to introduce a visually appealing Royal Oak Diver replica watch with the reference number 15706. This watch is made by XF factory, also known as V6, which is a well-established watch manufacturer and is highly regarded, much like Noob and ZF. The specific model I will be discussing is the latest V3 edition of the forged carbon Diver 15706, which is currently the best version available in stock.
- Certainly! The 15706 Royal Oak Diver model stands out due to its distinctive case material and unique grain. While many people prefer the stainless steel 15703 when talking about the Royal Oak Diver, some individuals opt for the forged carbon model because of its lightweight and comfortable wear. The 15706 Diver features a 42mm case size, which is suitable for most men’s wrists. The forged carbon material has special grains that give it a distinct appearance. However, the bezel on the 15706 is made of brushed black ceramic instead of forged carbon. If Audemars Piguet were to use forged carbon material on the bezel as well, it would certainly make it an enticing option for potential buyers.
- The case back of the replica watch is made of solid stainless steel. The center has a micro-sanded background with polished letterings that read “Royal Oak Offshore.” Behind the back, there is an Asia clone ETA 2836 automatic movement. This particular movement is commonly used in replica watches. If you check the movement inside, you will notice that the auto rotor has the same design as the genuine Audemars Piguet Calibre, except for the difference in power reserve capacity. Other than that, this clone movement is identical to the original AP Calibre.
- The replica watch has a black dial with checkers and a forged carbon case. One unique feature of this replica is its orange inner bezel, which can be rotated. The dial is highly legible, thanks to the use of orange color on the inner bezel, minute hand, and second hand. Additionally, the luminescent hour markers and hands further enhance its readability.

BBR Factory Replica Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar 26574 Review
The Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar 26574 replica is an intricately designed timepiece with a multitude of functions. Within our market, there are not many factories that produce replicas of this particular watch. Previously, only APS factory offered a replica wacthes of this model, which boasted impressive quality. However, there was an obvious flaw in the design, specifically with the central hand featuring an arrow tip. While the genuine watch’s hand accurately indicates the current number of weeks in a year, the APS replica incorrectly functions as a sweeping seconds hand across the dial. In a significant development, the BBR factory has successfully rectified this error, ensuring that all functions on their replica watches are now correct. While there is a considerable fondness for this replica watch among enthusiasts, I personally do not believe it is necessary to immediately purchase it from BBR.
The Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar 26574 replica is renowned for its complex nature, and even the genuine watch has a relatively high rate of repairs due to its intricate movement. As a result, it is unrealistic to expect that the recently released replica by BBR will function flawlessly without any issues. It is crucial to subject the replica to thorough testing. Only once there are minimal complaints about its performance can one consider acquiring it. For now, my recommendation remains to choose the replica from the APS factory, despite its notable flaw on the hand.
After thoroughly reviewing several video evaluations of this new replica watch, I came across a few dealers who expressed concerns about the quality control measures implemented by BBR. According to their observations, there were some minor issues present in the replica. Furthermore, in order to achieve the full range of functions on the replica, additional modifications would have been necessary on the movement. This could potentially result in decreased stability and a higher likelihood of future issues arising with the movement. In contrast, while APS factory did make a mistake with the hand, their replica watches underwent extensive testing to ensure stable functionalities and movement. It is worth noting that both BBR and APS employ the Miyota 9015 as the base movement for their replicas. Additionally, the overall thickness of the BBR replica measures approximately 11.5mm, while the APS replica is notably thinner at around 10.5mm, closely resembling the thickness of the genuine watch.
The replica watch offers easy adjustment options for various functions, including time, date, month, week, and moon phase. To adjust the central “week” hand, simply pull out the crown to the second position. For time adjustment, pull out the crown to the final position and rotate it accordingly. As the hour hand completes certain rotations, the moon phase indicator, small date hand, and small week hand will also move accordingly. Additionally, there are buttons on the case that allow for quick adjustments to specific functions. However, it is advisable not to excessively press these buttons. It is recommended to make adjustments on the replica wacthes between 6 am and 2 pm.
APS Factory Replica Audemars Piguet Diver 15707 Ceramic Black and White
In addition to the models 15400 and 15500, the ROO Diver 15707 is also a popular replica AP watch. The J12 factory used to make the best replicas of the AP 15707 in the past. If you happen to have one of these replicas made by J12, consider yourself lucky because the factory has been closed for years and it’s difficult to find replicas with the same quality case and bracelet. Recently, a factory called IP released replicas of the AP Diver 15707, but the finish is not as good as the ones made by J12, so I don’t recommend them. However, the new AP 15707 made by APS factory is of good quality and I highly recommend it. It is currently considered the best option in the market.
APS factory has been producing replicas of Audemars Piguet watches for a long time. Many people are familiar with their models like the 15400 and 15500. However, not many are aware that the clone 3120 movement used by Z Factory is also developed by APS factory. Additionally, the movement 52010 used in ZF’s Portuguese 7 Days watch is also sourced from APS. It’s true that APS has made significant contributions to the replica watch industry.
The APS 15707 now offers two models, one in black and the other in white. Both models are crafted with genuine ceramic and equipped with the latest super clone 3120 movement. The black 15707 showcases noticeable brushing on its ceramic case and bezel, complemented by high-gloss polished screws for a striking contrast. The overall case finish is commendable, although it falls slightly short when compared to the J12 AP. The case is a faithful 1:1 clone, but it is slightly thicker than the genuine watch due to its solid ceramic construction, resulting in a substantial weight. At 10 o’clock, there is a crown that, when rotated, moves the inner diving bezel. The crown at 3 o’clock serves for time and date adjustments.
The dial is fine, but the most noticeable distinction lies in the lattice pattern, where the size and spacing differ from that of an authentic watch. Up until now, ZF has been the factory that produces the AP replicas closest to the genuine ones, but even if you carefully compare a genuine watch and the replica, there are still subtle differences in the intricate details. The luminescence is strong, and in order for the lume on the replica watch to last as long as the dial lume on a genuine watch, it is advisable to ensure that the replica watch absorbs enough sunlight during the day.
The replica watch comes with an APS factory-modified clone 3120 automatic movement, widely regarded as the best 3120 available in the market. This movement has undergone two improvements by APS, making it highly accurate and stable. It is also utilized in the ZF or APS 15400 models, and customers have not reported any complaints about the movement’s quality in the APS 15400.
J12 Factory Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Real Tourbillon Watch 26510 with Blue Dial
- The genuine tourbillon watches are quite rare in the market, and many websites falsely claim to offer tourbillon replica watches. These replicas often feature a window on the dial that merely displays the balance wheel, lacking the true essence of a tourbillon mechanism. In the past, there were certain disadvantages associated with tourbillon replicas, such as subpar workmanship, including case finish, dial details, and bracelet, as well as the absence of a genuine tourbillon device.
- The captivating dial of the replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon watch showcases an elegant blue hue adorned with exquisite checkered patterns. Staying true to the classic Royal Oak design, it features slender stick hour markers that exude a timeless charm. These markers, along with the hands, are accentuated with silver edges and filled with luminous material, ensuring optimal legibility in any lighting conditions. Positioned at 6 o’clock, a meticulously crafted window unveils the intricate tourbillon device. Upon careful comparison with its genuine counterpart, the flying tourbillon mechanism on this replica closely resembles the original, demonstrating remarkable precision in its replication. The bridge, skillfully anchored at both ends to the dial, mirrors the construction of the authentic tourbillon movement. To set this marvelous timepiece in motion, manual winding is all it takes to activate the tourbillon’s mesmerizing ballet.
- I do not want to talk too much about the whole watch finish, it is just as good as other Audemars Piguet replica watches made by J12 factory. Please read the following specification to know the watch better.

Z Factory Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 with Clone 4302 Movement
In 2019, Z factory, also known as ZF, began producing replicas of the AP RO 15400. Despite J12 factory’s long-standing dominance in the replica Audemars Piguet watch market, many consumers have now shifted their attention to purchasing the 15400 replica from ZF. Although slightly pricier than the J12 15400, customers are willing to invest in ZF’s version due to its significant advantage – a noiseless auto rotor, addressing complaints about movement noise in the J12 15400. Today, I am excited to introduce the upgraded version of the 15400, the 15500, from ZF. Presently, two factories are manufacturing replicas of the Royal Oak 15500: ZF and OM. Without a doubt, I recommend purchasing from ZF, despite the higher price tag of up to 80 USD.
The 15400 holds a timeless appeal and stands as the flagship model of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak line. Since its introduction in the market, the replica version of the 15400 has consistently been one of the best sellers each year. The 15500, unveiled at Basel in 2019, saw its replica released in January 2020. Compared to the 15400, Audemars Piguet made subtle alterations to the dial of the 15500. The hour markers on the 15500 are wider compared to the more slender markers on the 15400. Additionally, the date window is now positioned slightly further from the center, and the minute markers have transitioned from being printed on the checkered dial to the oblique inner bezel. These changes contribute to a visually enlarged appearance of the 15500 dial compared to the 15400. Upon close examination of the 15500, one can observe various other adjustments. In summary, the upgraded 15500 offers a superior visual impact through its dial modifications.
After conducting a comparison between the ZF and OMF replicas of the 15500, I have observed that ZF’s replica boasts a superior finish on both the case and bracelet. Additionally, the movement decoration on ZF’s replica is also of better quality. Both ZF and OMF claim that their 15500 replicas are 10.4mm in thickness. Previously, I mentioned that J12 factory has the best case and bracelet finish on their Audemars Piguet replicas, which is true. However, J12 does not currently produce a replica of the Royal Oak 15500. On a related note, my clients have purchased ZF’s 15400 replica, and the finish on the case is comparable to that of J12’s 15400. Therefore, I believe that ZF’s 15500 replica will meet your expectations and not disappoint you.
It’s notable that the stainless steel 15500 models offer three dial options: black, grey, and blue. Regarding ZF’s offering, they have also prepared a white box for this watch. The case back features see-through sapphire crystal in the center, allowing for a clear view of the movement inside. The auto rotor bears the same tone as the original Audemars Piguet Cal. 4302, and the engravings on the movement are impeccably executed. Furthermore, the modified 4302 based on the Miyota 9015 from ZF produces less noise from the auto rotor, a factor that many customers may find significant.
