Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26420CE Review

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26420CE model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a solid 316L stainless steel case, 43 mm diameter and a high-precision automatic Super Clone mechanism architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

The first thing that comes to mind for most watch enthusiasts who prefer AP26420 is APF Factory. There was also a rival company before, but it is now closed; 26470 and 26400 by JF Factory were not bad in terms of quality. I personally recommend APF Factory 26420 to those who want to buy this large body AP model. The main reason for this is that it has a deep-rooted workmanship experience; Compared to other manufacturers, both the detail processing and the mechanism hardware are much more meticulous.

The entire watch measures 43 mm in size, and its thickness exceeds 14.5 mm. APF Factory produces by taking the exact mold from the original; It can achieve the same level of detail processing as the original product, and this time it has been reproduced using the latest technology in the replica market. The total weight of the watch reaches approximately 190 grams; Unless you have a large build, I do not recommend you to buy it, it does not fit at all.

Dial and Hand Details

The dial has a classic biscuit texture (petit tapisserie) design. The distances between fine stitches are uniform and standard. The hour markers are designed in rod structure and filled with lume. The hour and minute hands are also made of the same material. The stick markers and hour and minute hands are visually in K gold tone; This combines with the black ceramic exterior. The black-gold 26420 is an exact reproduction of the base hardware with APS Factory high-level craftsmanship.

Case and Body Workmanship

Black ceramic was used as the material; There are distinct brushed marks on the case surface, and the reproduced size and form are identical to the original. On the right side, there are chronograph pushers and a crown for setting the time. 316L steel was used in these parts, and then the corresponding color tone was obtained through the plating process. The bezel is also made of ceramic and is compatible with the brushing direction on the case.

AP26420 was actually designed as a chronograph watch. The longest of the three hands is the chronograph hand, which indicates one minute per revolution. After the chronograph start button is pressed, the small chronograph counter at position 9 accumulates with each complete revolution; When 30 minutes are up, it automatically jumps to the small counter at position 3 on the right. This little meter can collect up to 12 hours. The small counter at position 6 is the seconds indicator.

The alignment of the eight screws placed on the bezel complies with the standard. The classic octagonal bezel of AP watches has distinctive cut surfaces; The texture after processing and polishing is first class, there are no noticeable defects. It comes with high transparency sapphire glass. The inner edge of the dial is treated with a printed coating effect; In addition to the time scale, the speed (tachymeter) scale, which is the most common in chronographs, is also exactly compatible with the original.

With all the design, detailing and equipment of the watch, APF Factory AP has now reached the highest level that can be achieved; A similarity of over 95 percent compared to the original has been achieved. In addition to its high workmanship compared to poor quality versions, the most important thing is the mechanism inside. This time, the 4401 movement, which was molded from the original, was used; Thanks to the transparent design of the case back, the structure of the movement and possible defects can be easily seen. The mechanism will give you peace of mind in terms of both stability and chronograph function. Overall, from a hardware perspective alone, the 26420 by APF Factory is an extremely good choice.
