APS factory AP Audemars Piguet 15400, the closest to the original 3120 all-in-one replica review

Many manufacturers have reproduced the Audemars Piguet 15400 in the market, but in the final analysis, none of them have achieved an integrated machine. Although many manufacturers are bragging about their movements, they are actually 9015 movements pasted on the deck. There are basically no truly integrated machines. ZF factory Audemars Piguet 15400 and JF factory Audemars Piguet 15400 are not good enough. After the launch of the APS factory, it can be regarded as truly entering the era of integrated machines. The movement of the APS factory Audemars Piguet 15400 is not modified based on any domestic movement. It can be regarded as an independent development of the authentic product purchased by itself, which truly ensures that the movement will not be fake at first glance!

The strongest “Steel King” case of APS’s integrated 3120 movement is consistent with the original, with a diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of 9.8 mm; APS’s 15400 is the only version on the market that can be interchanged with the original parts, and all the structural positions and assembly methods of the case are consistent with the original; the delicate brushing and non-sharp craftsmanship of the case and strap further highlights APS’s meticulous attention to details; the movable head design of the strap head connecting the watch head is consistent with the original; the switch texture of the buckle and the engraving craftsmanship of each part are consistent with the original; the blue workmanship and color of APS’s 15400 are almost the same as the original; the movement perfectly replicates the original 3120 movement, a true cardless integrated movement, no longer a 9015 plus deck.

How does the Audemars Piguet 15400 from the aps factory compare to the genuine product? Will it be fake at first glance?

Strictly speaking, the updated version of the 15400 is a brand new version, which mainly upgrades and improves the case, strap, movement, and dial.

The texture of the dial is textured, and the color is the same as the original. The English font on the dial is the same as the original font. The calendar font is re-typeset and printed the same as the original, and the luminous filling is the same as the original.

The case with a thickness of 9.7 mm is relatively thin, which is just right for a diameter of 41 mm. This Royal Oak uses the CAL.3120 automatic winding movement, which determines the thickness problem and achieves a thickness of 9.7 mm. The thinnest version of other versions on the market is about 11 mm.

The waistline of the case is straight and delicate, just like the original, and the logo font on the crown is the same as the original.

The movement perfectly replicates the original 3120 and New Year, a truly cardless all-in-one new machine, no longer a 9015 with a deck, the shock absorber maintains the same triangular shock absorber as the original, and the center axis of the automatic rotor is consistent with the original.

The outer ring of the transparent back cover is brushed and the LOGO font is consistent with the original. The automatic rotor relief is consistent with the original, and the movement balance wheel position is at seven o’clock.

The polishing inside the movement is also meticulous, and the polishing method and calendar system consistent with the original are perfectly restored.

A full comparison was made in the strap. The sandblasting process of the front LOGO is consistent with the original, and the font, thickness, and size of the LOGO on the back of the buckle are consistent with the original.

The English letters on both sides of the inner clasp are corrected to the three-dimensional embossed characters that are consistent with the original (the focus is on the delicate brushed texture of the font), the color correction of the inner clasp is consistent with the original, the color correction of the inner clasp is consistent with the original, the mark outside the clasp is clearer and more three-dimensional, and the position of the “mark” on the crown and the correction of the brushed texture are consistent with the original.

How is the workmanship of the aps factory Audemars Piguet 15400? Is it worth buying?

The case is made of 1.316 stainless steel, and the overall brushed texture is still very delicate. The bezel is a very classic octagonal bezel. The screw fixing position is all in one direction around the central axis of the pointer, and the mirror is slightly sunken, which is not particularly obvious. The color matching of the white surface also has a bit of metallic texture. The checkered pattern is also very three-dimensional, the texture of the concave and convex positions of the dial is different, and the texture under the English letters above is also different, which is equivalent to a dial with three kinds of textures. Some brands have only one kind of texture on a dial, and the pointer is also polished very well without any burrs.

2. The thickness is the same as the original. The ones made by JF or ZF are slightly thicker, about 1mm thicker. Don’t underestimate this data. The texture of the strap is completely different.
3. The strap head is connected to the watch head with the same movable head design as the original. The head is slightly movable. The three-layer case structure has a very delicate brushed texture, without the feeling of being dirty. The workmanship is very delicate. This is not exaggerated or black.
4. Let’s focus on the movement. This set of movement is redeveloped with the movement factory and is not based on any universal Japanese or Seagull movement. Since there is no repeated deck, the thickness of the whole watch can definitely be reduced by more than 1.5mm, and the transmission does not need to go through extra parts, which will definitely improve the transmission efficiency and reduce the noise. ZF or JF use 9015 with a modified splint, and the gears are immobile, which looks rather rigid (I would like to reiterate here that the 9015 movement is still very good without any modification. Because there are too many modifications, people have too many misunderstandings about this movement. It can be said that the stability of the original Citizen 9015 movement can compete with ETA2892 without modification). The balance wheel position of this integrated movement of APS is also the same as the original, at 7 or 8 o’clock, and the overall Geneva polishing workmanship is very good. After winding, its gears are completely movable, which is an integrated movement. The way to adjust the time and calendar is also exactly the same.
