Today I will share a detailed review of this watch! I will mainly summarize the main pros and cons of the OM Factory replica AP Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26331 watch; You watch friends decide for yourself!

OM Factory initially produced Omega watches; especially the Seamaster Planet Ocean and Omega Seamaster models. It has a good reputation. OM factory seems to me to be a better factory for some specific watch models. Most of the watch models produced by the OM factory are aimed at men, even the dominant, tough male style; It highlights a slightly masculine energy. When we look at the models produced by the factory, such as the Seamaster, the Seamaster Planet Ocean chronograph, and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak that I talked to you about today, it can be seen that these are watches with a masculine and tough style. Chronograph type watches produced by OM receive very positive feedback in terms of workmanship and stability.

Today we will review the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26331 model watch produced by OM.

Technical specifications of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak series 26331ST watch

OM Factory's latest big breakthrough: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331 chronograph series. All functions and locations are exactly the same as the original; There are four technical breakthrough points that stand out.

1 Details and Features

[1]Our own developed 2385 movement with seconds counter and date display at 6 positions. The embossed structure of the date wheel is an unrivaled new detail.

2 Details and Features

[2]The difficulty of the sandwich-shaped case is that each edge line of the octagon is in parallel alignment. Every angle was processed exactly to the original; The holes of the eight screws on the bezel are parallel to the edges of the octagonal bezel. A dazzling sight.

3 Details and Features

[3]Royal Oak's gradually tapering link bracelet structure: each link is a different size and each is meticulously assembled by hand. The buckle has finally reached the same level as the original; Each bright text on a gray background is extremely eye-catching.

4 Details and Features

[4]The dial of the Royal Oak is decorated with the "tapisserie" checkered texture pattern that has become the symbol of the brand. Even though it seems simple, the details are astounding; It goes through stages such as turning, engraving, polishing, coloring with electroplating, baking, riveting the hour markers and lume filling; almost perfect invisibility. Same function, same quality, different price.

Real-replica comparison of OM Factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26331ST replica watch and the original:

General comparison

In comparison, it seems that the OM factory is exactly the same as the original. Again, if you don't mark it, you won't be able to tell which is the original and which is the OM version.

Sapphire glass comparison

In comparison, it can be seen that the glass of the OM factory is sapphire glass, just like the real AP, and is extremely transparent. Sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating is used; You can see the dial details unobstructed.

Dial comparison

To improve the readability of the text, the black dial of the OM factory has been made identical to the traditional "Grande Tapisserie" large checkered texture of the original AP. The text printing is clear, there are no burrs on the edges, and all the small meters have the same CD texture as the original.

Side profile comparison

When compared, it can be seen that the OM replica is made of imported 316L special steel, just like the original. The surface treatment is made to appear darker and more three-dimensional than brushed steel. Both sides are sharp and angular; The angles are quite clear.

Case back comparison

When compared, it can be seen that the OM factory and the original manufacturer used the same technical drawings, and the mirror polish and matte polish workmanship were applied; Its actual production is extremely complex. Audemars Piguet's classic octagonal case consists of straight lines, and each edge line must be parallel to the case. For mirror polishing, the brushed sections must be masked first; However, some of them are located at the intersection points of the planes. This area is very small. When a mistake occurs, the completed brushed piece must be re-done. Matte surfaces also require a professional spraying process.

bracelet comparison

When compared, it seems that the OM plant and the original use the same gradually tapering link structure; Since each pod is a different size, manual assembly is required. The bracelet material is made of 316L special steel. The brushing and mirror polishing workmanship is extremely meticulous; This takes steel to a much higher level.

Buckle comparison

In comparison, it seems that the OM factory uses Audemars Piguet's classic folding buckle design. The letters "AUDEMARS PIGUET" appear on the inside of the buckle ring; As OM's new breakthrough, each gray-shaded text is carefully processed and polished by CNC.

Dial and Hand Details

Summary: As can be seen from the comparison, this OM-manufactured Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331 chronograph watch is extremely meticulously and on-site processed in terms of both its external appearance and internal structure. Finely crafted octagonal bezel, smooth and aligned metal screws, flowing bracelet and delicately crafted mechanical mechanism; all demonstrate OM's outstanding technical ability. This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26331 replica watch deserves overall recognition, it is worth buying! However, the small counters on either side of this OM Factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak chronograph do not have a real chronograph function; only the small counter at position 6 works normally! This reminds people of the AR Factory production Daytona; The workmanship and quality are quite good, but the chronograph function cannot be used, so it falls behind N Factory! In fact, I would not recommend N Factory's chronograph mechanism to be used frequently by friends who love replicas; The reason is simple: it is not stable and can easily cause problems! Before OM Factory produced this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak chronograph, the Royal Oak chronographs made by other smaller factories had the second hand at 9; this was clearly not true to the original. So this is also progress! What can be said about this watch; Everyone evaluates it in their own way. It depends on whether you care about the chronograph function or not; real fans can ignore this anyway!
