N Factory Audemars Piguet Survivor detailed review

The first impression of this Audemars Piguet replica watch is quite imposing; Its look is tough, its style is strong and its technology feel is high, just like something out of a sci-fi movie. AP's design language is also very distinctive; All functions on the watch are presented completely. Case diameter is 42 mm and thickness is 16 mm; With his somewhat large stance, he reflects a proud and uninhibited male style. If this watch were too thin, it would be difficult to carry.

Vertical lines are used on the bezel; The workmanship looks very neat and each line is perfectly aligned with each other. The octagonal screws are of the allen (inner hexagon) type, as in the original. These types of allen screws come in metric and inch sizes; Anyone who has dealt with mechanical work knows this. However, the allen screws on this watch are none of these; It has been specially produced as a whole, and its key is also special. In addition, the inner scale part of this watch has the same function as the Rolex Daytona bezel; It is used to measure the speed of the vehicle. The watch glass is made of colorless coated sapphire glass material; A light blue coating is used only on the date window part. This detail has been imitated very well, in exact harmony with the original.

Which movement does N Factory Audemars Piguet Survivor use?

N Factory Audemars Piguet Survivor continues the classic grid pattern dial; Compared to some traditional AP models, the Survivor's dial pattern is slightly larger when viewed closely. The hour and minute hands in the center have a skeleton (carved) design; The thinnest and longest one is the chronograph hand. There is a standard small seconds counter at position 12, a 12-hour chronograph counter at position 6, and a 30-minute chronograph counter at position 9. I should point out here: this watch is a chronograph watch and it uses the entire Shanghai 7750 movement. Normally, the second hand is located at the 9 position in the Shanghai 7750 movement; On this watch, the second hand is moved to the 12 position. This is easy to say, it just seems like changing a mechanism, but it is extremely difficult to do. N also paid a lot of money to make it the same as the original.

It has a closed case back design; It does not reveal anything compared to the transparent case back and it is not obvious that it is fake at first glance. The inner ring of the case back is covered with a grained texture; The surrounding English letters highlight the printing and engraving quality. Screws and parts can be used by replacing them with the original ones, and the details are machined locally. Equipped with Shanghai 7750 multifunction mechanical chronograph movement; Every watch is tested for at least 72 hours of operation.

When viewed from the side, the crown is also made of titanium; screw waterproof type. Not only is the "AP" logo engraved on the top, but there are also protection bridges on the right and left of the winding crown; Moreover, it can be opened and is easy to use. Side lines are straight and clear; Its texture is extremely skillfully crafted, its brushing work is very fine and its weight is just right.

A red calfskin strap is used; There is also a black rubber strap option. AP original pin buckle attached, matte black sandblasted surface; The Audemars Piguet logo is embroidered on the side of the buckle.

Is the N Factory Audemars Piguet Survivor V5 high-end version worth buying?

N Factory Audemars Piguet Survivor V5 can be used by replacing the screws and parts of the high-end version with the original; The details are copied very well. Automatic winding chronograph mechanism; The "unshakable" black titanium alloy case has an antimagnetic protection mechanism. The conical buttons, hollow button protection pins, the connection parts connecting the crown and the strap are also made of black titanium alloy. The 42 mm case diameter, skeleton ceramic bezel and black matte dial feature the "Méga Tapisserie" giant grid pattern decoration unique to Audemars Piguet. He is popularly known as the "War Survivor" or the "big crab". It is almost impossible for a non-professional to find fault with its appearance.

Of course, if we take an original and put it side by side with N Factory Survivor V5 and look carefully at the details, we will see that there is still a huge difference between the copy and the original; There is inevitably a difference in workmanship. There is not the slightest dust on the dial of the original, and there is not even a slight scratch on the hands; The replica watch is also assembled in a dust-free environment, but the time and effort spent on assembling a watch can never be the same as that of the original. The assembly of a replica watch may only take a short time, and the cost is reduced as much as possible, providing a price advantage. As a replica watch, N Factory Survivor deserves this price with its appearance and mechanism.

Overall, N Factory V5 version Survivor has a clean appearance and superior workmanship; It uses the 7750 movement converted to the original integrated movement, its performance is stable and external details such as screws are almost exactly the same as the original. The Audemars Piguet Survivor was a model that AP released in 2016, limited to just 1000 units; The original is already sold out. N Factory continued to produce this Audemars Piguet replica watch, offering good news to many watch lovers who love it.
