Happy New Year!
Last week in our market, VS Factory announced their release of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 replica watch, with two models, blue and grey. They said their 15500 is the best, which is far better than the one made by APS and other factories. You may also have read reviews and watched videos about the VSF 15500 published by some dealers, which claimed the VSF 15500 is the best and has a free-sprung movement, this is not true, the 15500 replica Audemars Piguet watch from VS Factory is not the best one. As I’ve always said, if a replica watch is made by several factories, the one from any of these factories could not be the best, because each has their own advantages when be compared with the others. Taking this Royal Oak 15500 as an example, some dealers saying VS Factory has the best finish on the grids of the dial, but I have compared it between VS and APS, I do not find the difference on the dial grids, on the contrary, APS has a much better central axis of the hands.
VS also claims that they use the same links on the bracelet as the genuine watch, which is 23 links, APS Factory’s bracelet has 24 links, why do I think the longer bracelet of APS is better? Because more people have a big wrist size. The end link of the bracelet on VS is indeed more flexible and allow for a wider range of motion.
The movement from VS is made by a famous movement manufacturer in China, it is a movement with regulator that is hidden, while APS Factory has two movement options for the AP 15500, regular version and the one with free-sprung balance. It is not the first time for AP 15500 replica watch to use a clone 4302 with free-sprung balance, before APS, another factory named DDF already developed such a movement, but they did not add weights on the balance wheel. So, currently in the market, APS is the only factory that uses a super clone 4302 movement with real free-sprung balance on the AP 15500.
