APS Factory Audemars Piguet 26240 black ceramic workmanship and detail review: should I buy it?

Audemars Piguet Wristwatch 26240 model is produced by APS Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, standard case diameter and 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.

Now let's look at the black one; Its general appearance is extremely beautiful, it has an almost sacred beauty. What I feel when I hold it in my hand is this: this black ceramic is really beautiful, and the white ceramic is also very nice. First of all, you completely put aside the problem of color difference; There is no 100% color difference between black and white, no matter how you combine it, it looks beautiful and very high-end.

Dial and Hand Details

Now let's look at the dial details; The workmanship of this dial surface by APS is really fine. Whether it is the square pattern on the small dials or the radial texture of the small CD pattern, all of them have been processed very successfully. The stick hour markers, lume fill, and hour and minute hands are also pretty good. There is also a date window, and the date font is true to the original. Including the three small dials, the independent CD pattern radial texture is extremely well done; There is no need for any modifications or upgrades to the dial surface anymore. Those things are just a complete waste of money.

The crown also has a waterproof design; After unscrewing it, you wind it upwards, then pull the crown out one step and set the date. Then you pull two steps and set the time; The hand feel is extremely good, then you just push it in and lock it. The overall dimensions and thickness of the watch are also completely true to the original; I can say that it can be taken easily, there is no problem.

Movement and Caliber Performance

On the mechanism side, Dandong's 4401 one-piece movement is used. It's been a few months since this mechanism was released; Its overall stability is impeccable. This mechanism is so powerful that it almost never returns to service. In fact, APS Factory has been producing AP for such a long time and the workmanship is generally always very good. Now, if the case set comes from a large factory and a decent movement is added to it, that watch is a good watch.

It is now perfect as it came from the factory; Moreover, this is a foolproof mechanism. There is no hidden speed adjustment mechanism, so we can say that the fidelity of the mechanism has increased considerably. Previously, many friends said that when they saw that adjustment mechanism, they could tell it was fake at a glance; Now it's gone, so it's actually been a pretty successful upgrade.

I hope this article will be useful to you. I will share more detailed disassembly, real shot review and real-replica comparison in the coming days.
