Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26416RO Noob Review

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26416RO model is produced by Noob Factory with a high-tech ceramic case, 44 mm 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.

In terms of workmanship, JF Factory has maintained the quality workmanship of previous models. The “Méga Tapisserie” giant checkered pattern is engraved on the dark gray dial; Black and rhodium-coloured sub-dials, rose gold three-dimensional hour markers and Royal Oak hour and minute hands, combined with the rhodium-coloured inner bezel, give one a luxurious but modest and restrained feeling.

Case and Body Workmanship

The case is made of stainless steel; It has gone through brushing and polishing work. The polish on the edges is smooth and finely processed, it does not sting the hand; A chamfered edge was made in the same way as the original. It is different from the original in terms of material: the original is 18K rose gold case, that is, it uses heavy metal material; The replica uses ion-plated gold on stainless steel. Even though the color is the same, the weight is different; Since the density of rose gold is slightly higher, the original watch is slightly heavier.

The ceramic bezel is obtained entirely by pressing zirconium oxide powder; Its structure is solid, its color is black and shiny. This bezel adds both weight and color to the watch; This is one of the reasons why I love this watch. The three buttons on the side, from top to bottom, function respectively as chronograph start/stop, time-date setting and chronograph reset; They are all individually molded ceramic pieces and are quite heavy. I can say that the case workmanship is really high quality. I had previously disassembled this watch and adjusted its mechanism, and I saw that there was a reason why this watch from JF was expensive; Every part, down to a single screw, is first class.

The 44mm case size is the same as the original, but the original is 14.5mm thick while the replica is just over a millimeter thick. The main reason for this is the movement: The 7750 movement is already thick, and when a plate is added to it, the size increases slightly. The original Caliber 3126/3840AP in-house movement is relatively thinner. In terms of function, there are three small dials on the dial: the small dial at position 12 is for the seconds, the long hand at position 12 is the chronograph seconds, and the small dials at positions 6 and 9 take over the seconds counting of the chronograph. The date is located at 3 o'clock.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Mechanism: The eight screws securing the case back appear solid and secure. The case back is round brushed and thick gold plated; The interior is matte processed and gold plated. As the mechanism, caliber 3126, converted from 7750, was used, and its appearance was made the same as the original by adding a plate to it. Since this is a chronograph watch, only a chronograph type mechanism can be chosen. Since Shanghai 7750 is currently the only movement that can be used in the replica watch market, Shanghai 7750 movement is necessarily converted into 3126 and a plate is added to it.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Strap and buckle: Rubber strap, soft in texture and fits comfortably on the wrist. The buckle is made of stainless steel, brushed and rose gold plated; Its texture is high quality and the AP logo is embroidered on it. The strap and buckle overall feel high quality.

Dial and Hand Details

How is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26416ro chronograph replica watch produced by JF Factory? Is it worth buying?

When we consider this watch alone, the production cost is higher than watches such as XXX Tissot. You feel its weight when you hold it; The workmanship of parts such as steel case parts, ceramic parts and rubber straps is of high quality. The original watch has a texture and is reasonable to wear and use; The selling price is relatively high. This model is XXX and limited edition in store; So even if you want it, you may not be able to buy it, and even if you can find it, you may not be able to afford it. There is nothing wrong with the general appearance of the Royal Oak chronograph model produced by JF Factory; Only the thickness is a bit too much, the rest is reasonable. Since it is a multifunctional chronograph model and uses the domestically produced 7750 movement, it would be beneficial to take some care when wearing it. Also, it is best to set the time around six o'clock; Around 12 at night, the date mechanism is easy to get stuck and broken.
