ZF factory Audemars Piguet 15400 and 15500 replica watch comparison, which one is better

Audemars Piguet was originally dominated by JF factory, but in the past two years, JF factory has basically been in a state of suspension, after-sales service is not accepted, and shipments are intermittent, so other manufacturers have seized this opportunity and entered the Audemars Piguet replica market. ZF factory is one of them. The first replica of ZF factory was Audemars Piguet 15400. After the replica was completed, 15500 was also reproduced. The workmanship is quite exquisite, and it is the peak of the factory. But some watch friends will ask which of these two watches is better? Today, the editor will answer the comparison between ZF factory Audemars Piguet 15400 and 15500 replica watches.

First of all, there are many similarities between the two. The shell has not changed much. The size is consistent with the design of 41MM diameter. The octagonal bezel is equipped with hexagonal screws, and the “TAPISSERIE” checkered pattern is neatly arranged horizontally and vertically on the dial surface, and platinum bar-shaped nails are used.

Next, the main differences are compared:

15500 on the left and 15400 on the right

1. The outer scale of the dial is changed from the original directly filled paint surface to a raised track ring, and the length of the nails is shortened.
2. The word “AUTOMATIC” is missing at the 6 o’clock position.
3. The time scale at the 3 o’clock position is cancelled, the calendar frame at the 3 o’clock is obviously different, and the calendar font of 15500 is thicker.
4. The tail of the second hand is changed to a hollow stick head. The text can be seen that the new 15500 is more simple, and the improvement of the dial is not particularly large.
5. The AP logo on the text has been upgraded, more conspicuous, and the font is different.

6. In terms of movement, the genuine 15400 uses the Audemars Piguet self-produced 3120 movement, and the 15500 uses the Audemars Piguet self-produced 4302 movement. But for the replica watches, they are all Citizen 9015 movement with modified splints, the splints are polished with Geneva pattern, and the bottom of the balance wheel is polished with fish scale pattern. Personally, I think the appearance of the 15500 movement is more beautiful (personal aesthetics vary from person to person).
