JF Factory Audemars Piguet AP15400 Royal Oak series blue dial V5 top version replica watch review

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a solid stainless steel 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.

The reason why 15400 is called the king of steel bracelets is that there are very few watches with a stainless steel version whose list price exceeds one hundred thousand; But even this cannot prevent the sales success of AP15400 in stores. JF Factory AP15400 has reached its V5 version so far and I think this should be the final version.

Audemars Piguet was founded in Switzerland in 1875 as one of the three largest watch brands in the world. The other two brands that rank with it are Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe. Designed in collaboration with watchmaking master Gérald Genta, the Royal Oak series has long been one of Audemars Piguet's most popular lines.

The watch I will be discussing today is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak series; official model number is 15400ST.OO.1220ST.03. Let's take a look at the official information first.

There are many factories producing 15400 on the market; Apart from JF Factory's AP, manufacturers such as MP, JH, OM Factory also make the same model and their prices are much cheaper than JF. So can JF stand out without any price advantage? We will examine this together in this article.

First, let's look at our friend's post for an hour.

Watch friend: Since you came across it, you shouldn't miss it; I bought the JF Factory Audemars Piguet 15400ST blue dial.

Before I bought it, I was browsing the forums all day and reading all the posts about 15400. Until I saw the JF Audemars Piguet 15400. The year I definitely decided to buy a 15400 was 2019 and I only wanted a blue dial. I was visiting the watch site every day. The blue dial was really attractive, even better than the panda dial. I finally got rid of this obsession.

Now let's see what the corrected JF Audemars Piguet 15400 V5 version actually looks like. How about when you zoom in on the details? Can a fake be detected at first glance?

I used the blue model for shooting today. So why blue? Because the blue tone is the most difficult to achieve; Also, the 'blue' of every major brand is different. AP's blue is not very dark and JF has adjusted the color many times; There is no significant color difference when viewed with the eye.

Let's start with the dial surface: All of the AP's hour markers are 'stick' shaped, so you can tell at first glance whether the hour and minute hands are properly seated. The biggest problem with AP15400 dials on the market is that the two bar markers at position 12 are not in the same balance as those at position 6. The JF Factory V5 version does not have this problem; If there is a slight slippage while the master at the factory is setting the watch, we make a small correction when we receive the watch and send it accordingly.

The dial consists of a combination of uneven squares; When you look carefully, you can see that there are two types of tissue. The protruding squares have curved lines in the same direction, while the hollow parts have a dotted texture. Other factories probably did not do the dotted texture in the pit, but only processed the slashes of the squares.

Look at the AP logo: the interconnected letters A and P are made matte (sandblasted).

The size of the hex screws on the front face has been corrected; In some other versions on the market, these screws are much larger. The upper surface of the screws is very close to the surface of the watch, there are not many depressions.

The basic movement is Citizen's 9015 converted into a 3120. The factory has made its own adjustments, the sound has decreased considerably; The color of the stones on the bridge has been redone, they are not as purple as in the old version. The bridge is clean, there is no potholed rough feeling.

The 'alpaca' embroidery on the rotor is also quite 'lifelike', isn't it?

The number 3120 is written on the bridge; The original movement of this model is already 3120 and the movement serial number is also engraved on it.

The case is 1cm thick, the same as the original. The case is three-layered: first the back cover is unscrewed, then the top cover is unscrewed and the front face can be opened; When each layer is opened, a set of gaskets comes out. That's why the AP15400 and even the entire Audemars Piguet family require very high precision in molding; There are so many interlocking parts that if there was a seal problem in one place, the waterproofing would end. This model supports 50 m water resistance.

The crown of the 15400 has a screw-down waterproof design; A stylish 'AP' logo is embroidered on the side. The brushing on the side surface of the case is excellent, the lines are sharp; A round of applause for JF Factory! JF Factory's master craftsmanship; After going through countless stages such as processing, polishing and hand retouching, it can create a masterpiece with such beautiful lines and is very pleasing to the eye! The side of the bezel is different; It is polished and very shiny, the details in the corner work are extremely fine.

The steel bracelet has many cut surfaces, so it looks like it is shining brightly. JF Factory's steel bracelet is slightly smoother than other factories'; The feeling of 'steel bracelet stings and cuts', which customers frequently express, is not here. The code 1220 is engraved on the bracelet.

As for the buckle part, just get to know JF's buckle design, there is not much to say; AP watches already have screws everywhere.

There is a date window at position 3; The engraving of the hour markers and hour and minute hands throughout the watch is extremely fine.

Summary: For those who like the steel bracelet of a high-end brand and want a watch that also has diving features and can be carried easily in terms of status, I think this steel king would be none other than the 15400. Even though the newest panda Daytona has been hotly talked about in the market and its price has exceeded 15400, AP15400 still has a good sales figure in the market and stores. For this latest version, whose quality is stable, I think this is the right time to buy it.
