Friendship Relationship Between APS and ZF

Just this week, ZF launched the Royal Oak 15450 replicas, which have a case diameter of 37 mm and a thickness of 9.8 mm in measurements. They are equipped with the super clone 3120 movement developed by the APS factory. There are three color options: grey, white and blue; You can review the photos at the end of this article. Actually, I had previously introduced the replica AP Royal Oak 15450 watches on my blog; They were first released by the APS factory just two weeks ago, now ZF has followed in the footsteps of APS and released the same watches. If you ask me which factory does the best, I would say whichever factory you buy from will be the right choice. ZF had previously collaborated with APS, but after this I became even more convinced that they were besties.

Like ZF, APS has been in this industry for many years, but it is still younger than ZF. When APS had just entered this industry, ZF had already been famous for a while thanks to some Panerai replica watches it made; for example, PAM 127 was a very popular replica Panerai watch in the past. ZF did this really well and competed with Noob. In 2016, APS saw an opportunity and cooperated with YL factory; Together they developed an important mechanism; This was the clone 51011 movement, which was later used in replica IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve watches made by ZF. So, we know that ZF's famous Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve watch actually uses the mechanism provided by the APS factory. Even YL released Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve replicas, but they still couldn't compete with ZF at that time; Some said that ZF's case and dial workmanship was better in this replica watch.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Why did APS give the 51011 movement to ZF? I think they needed ZF's protection, because APS had just entered this industry and ZF had a strong track record. Do you still remember that raid? I don't know exactly whether it was two years ago or three years ago, but many large factories were closed, including Noob and ARF; but ZF and APS survived.

Next up is the super clone AP 3120 movement, also developed by the APS factory. In the past, ZF used a Miyota 9015 movement in the Royal Oak 15400; Based on the Miyota 9015, ZF added extra plates and embellishments, making the final movement look closer to the original AP 3120. A few years later, APS spent money and developed a super clone AP 3120 movement; As far as I know, this movement is produced by Shanghai xx xx. Thanks to this mechanism, the case thickness of the replica Royal Oak 15400 and 15500 has become much thinner and much closer to the originals. By the way, APS also gave this mechanism to ZF; That's a big reason why the 15400 and 15500 from ZF sold so well. Looking at this incident, it seems that the friendship between ZF and APS is really solid. APS factory also released 15400 and 15500 replicas, they are constantly improving, but their watches still do not sell as well as ZF.

APS moved faster than ZF but they always think about ZF.
