Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 4308 APS Factory Review

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 4308 model is produced by APS Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, standard case diameter and Miyota 9015 high frequency movement 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.

Dial and Hand Details

There is an enlarged date window on the dial glass, it is extremely bright and clear. The dial has a large checkered decoration called "Méga Tapisserie"; It is accompanied by lumeli three-dimensional hour markers and Royal Oak hour and minute hands. The black rotating inner ring combines with the beige zone between 0-15 minutes and uses imported lume filling, extremely durable! The Lume matches the hour markers on the inside exactly; The engravings on the dial surface are also extremely clear. The simple large three-needle design makes the style of the watch very attractive, and the feeling of depth on the dial surface is also very strong. The three-dimensional engraving of the hour and minute hands is also perfect!

Case and Body Workmanship

APS Factory AP 15720 is made of 316 stainless steel and is compatible with the original. The dials of this series are in eye-catching colors; The gray dial I photographed here is a simpler option that fits every style. In daily use, it does not discriminate between clothes, the brushed patterns are distinct and do not scratch easily. APS Factory 4308 one-piece movement was used as the mechanism; The movement is also made from a mold identical to the original, has an instantaneous jumping calendar and strong precision and stability. It is different from previous 9015-based bridged movements such as BF Factory, IP Factory, ZF Factory; Of course, the price is slightly higher for this reason. As far as I measured, the weight of APS Factory AP 15720 is 174.46 g and its thickness is 14 mm. There may be some deviation in measurement, but the difference will not be too big.

The new 15720st, the top version of APS on the market, carries the completely custom-made one-piece cal.4308 movement (not the various Japanese movement conversions). The overall size of the watch is 42×14.2 mm. Without avoiding high costs, APS developed a one-piece mechanism and molded it from the original; Thus, the replica's closeness to the original went one step further.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

Sapphire glass, anti-reflective crystal and bottom cover are used as glass. Clarity is extremely high for the overall glass structure of the watch; Additionally, the glass is not easily scratched during future use. Sapphire glass is already a standard feature of today's replica watches. There is a point to consider here: Never try to remove the screws on the glass part with a screwdriver, because there is a hole on the front.

In terms of material, APS Factory used classic 316 stainless steel. The lines of the watch are made extremely pleasing by using a combination of polished and brushed processes in the overall appearance. The thing to note here is that the left side of the watch is the internal adjustment position. The black ceramic screw-down crown is also produced by APS Factory from the original DPS mold; The original product was disassembled, its data was taken, 3D three-dimensional modeling was made, and thus the size ratios were made exactly the same as the original. All parts are common with the original and are interchangeable. The smooth brushed workmanship of the case and its sharp-edged structure combine perfectly; Goes beyond all previous versions! The right side of the watch is the time setting crown; The engravings on the crown are extremely clear. The general details of the watch are also extremely impressive, the details are really successful!

The back of the APS Factory 15720 also has a transparent case back design; The writings on the back are also extremely clear. What should be noted here is that the back face is fixed with screws; It is necessary to be careful against the screws becoming loose in the future. The movement is a specially produced one-piece cal.4308 movement and is not one of the ordinary bridged versions on the market. All the gears in the instantaneous jumping calendar function are actually moving, not decorative. The inscriptions on the mechanism are CNC machined, clearer and more three-dimensional. Truly a one-piece mechanism without a bridge; It is more realistic and its performance is more stable. This is the important reason why APS Factory has become the strongest factory in AP today and has reached the industry ceiling that other factories cannot reach!

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The strap is extremely comfortable; The rubber strap is quite plump. The end piece where the case attaches to the strap is the hardest part. Taking the risk of destroying the original tip structure, APS Factory looked at the internal structure and reproduced the same structure. Thanks to the one-button quick release button compatible with the original, the strap can be easily removed with a single touch. The buckle also has a one-button quick release design and is compatible with the original. The buckle is a quick release buckle that AP offers for the first time; Thus, strap and extension buckle replacement becomes much easier. A truly high-quality fit is ensured with the most user-friendly movable end piece buffer. This is the product of the APS Factory factory, which continuously improved workmanship and quality through trial and error for 2 years, and finally reached a result that is indistinguishable from the original. Whether in terms of color, material or workmanship, it can compete with store belts and can be replaced with the original.

General Evaluation and Conclusion

In conclusion, if you like AP 15720, the APS Factory version is definitely the best choice and the most perfect version. This time APS Factory 15720 comes in a total of four color options: blue, green, grey, black. It is very rich in color; The biggest standout feature is the addition of the one-piece mechanism. This directly surpasses the previous versions with IP Factory and ZF Factory 9015 movements. In addition, the one-button quick disassembly feature follows the official model exactly. As for other details and colors, there was slight color difference in the previous versions of IP Factory; I explained this in detail in my previous IP Factory 15720 review.
