Audemars Piguet 26715 APS Factory Review

Audemars Piguet Wristwatch 26715 model is produced by APS Factory with a solid stainless steel case, standard case diameter and 7750 automatic chronograph 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.

Now let's look at the dimensions. Its glass is 38 gauge and its thickness was originally 11 millimeters; In APS, it is 11 odd, only 0.5 millimeters more, so it is almost the same as the original. Currently only APS produces this model, other factories have not yet released this .38 glass version. APS's dial design is also very well done. As for the color option, there is currently only one color available, which is blue.

Dial and Hand Details

Let's look at the details of the dial; Each of this biscuit pattern has a radial effect, that effect is processed individually. The pattern of the three small dials also has that CD rail texture and radial pattern. There is a radial effect on all three small dials, the center shaft is also engraved; When you look at it enlarged, it doesn't look rough at all. There is a carved design on the tail of the minute hand, and all the white fluorescent parts in the middle have lume. So are these stick signs; each with a cutting surface, beveled on both sides and polished. Every corner is processed, not sloppy at all; No burrs visible, very clean. The date window is also fairly centered. There is a small detail on the dial, the workmanship is really successful.
It is also a chronograph model. This second hand you see at six is ​​the chronograph hour hand on the left, and the chronograph minute hand on the right. When you press the button on the side, the large chronograph hand starts working; When the big hand makes one revolution, the minute hand advances by one small digit. In one complete revolution, the chronograph watch dial also makes one revolution. When we press it again, it stops; It works the same way when we press the reset function at the bottom.

The screws are also slightly recessed. A blue coating has been applied to the glass, there is some blue coating; So you can see the time more clearly under the sun, it does not disturb the eyes, that is, it has an anti-glare effect. The case exterior is this brushed kind and is the same as the 26240, just smaller in size. The logo on the crown is also engraved, it has a carved design and is very deeply carved. This model has a closed case back; The men's model, 26240, has a transparent case back and the two movements are different from each other. The embossing of this is also very clear, all the necessary text is engraved.
This steel bracelet has a disadvantage: if you have a lot of arm hair, it compresses the hair quite a bit. Because the spaces here are quite narrow; While wearing it, our arm hair gets stuck easily and it hurts a lot. If you have a lot of arm hair, I would not recommend this model. Because many watch friends who bought the 26240 were upset. The buckle is also 26240 and the same as other models.

This has a brushed design with matte finish on both sides; The writings here are also embossed. Double push-on buckle, of the push-on buckle type. The movement is a modified version of Dandong's 4801 movement. A date window has been added; When we turn the crown back, that is, when we unlock it and push it up, we wind it, and when we pull it one step, we set the date. We adjust the date upwards, and when we move it one step further, we adjust the time. For all chronograph functions, when setting the date, we must set the hour between after four and nine, otherwise it can jam very easily.
As for the stability of the mechanism, it is quite stable, but not that extraordinary. It is a little behind the 4130 movement. The downside is that it gets a little louder; When we shake it, its sound gets a little louder. But a noise reduction process has been applied to it; In other words, it is not as loud as Daytona's 4801, but a little quieter compared to the 4801. I still recommend this model.

It weighs around 150 grams. I highly recommend it for men with thin wrists. If your wrist is large, you can choose 26240 directly. If you have small wrists, you can choose this size 38. Women can wear it easily too; Neutral, one size fits all, men and women.

I hope my articles will be useful to you. I will share more detailed teardowns, live-action reviews and real-replica comparisons in the future.
