I show the disassembled version of the ZF Audemars Piguet 15500 white dial watch

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 model is produced by ZF Factory with a solid stainless steel case, standard case diameter and integrated Clone Caliber 4302 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.

After successfully launching the blue 15500 and the black 15500, ZF Factory attacked again and released the white model 15500ST.OO.1220ST.04. I think the gray dial model will appear soon. As of now, the 15500 series models from the ZF Factory factory have no competitors.

Movement and Caliber Performance

This time, the ZF Factory AP 15500 was taken as a completely original product, disassembled one by one and molded; Its size is 41x10.4 millimeters and is exactly the same as the original! This thickness is not difficult for a replica; After all, previously FK's one-piece movement Jaeger-LeCoultre 1288420 reached a thickness of 8.2 mm, which is not at all challenging for a 10.4 mm replica.

They break the bridge concept and turn the 9015 movement into the Audemars Piguet CAL.4302 one-piece movement! The original carries the self-winding Caliber 4302 movement; The power reserve has also been increased to 70 hours and the rotor design is 'carved and ostentatious'. In terms of performance, the replica of course lags behind the original; The ZF's power reserve is only 40 hours, but that's more than enough for daily use.

Dial and Hand Details

Hour and minute hands, screws: let's take a look at it again after enlarging it dozens of times. Screws are produced from imported 316 steel in a separate mold; Fine workmanship, shapely and solid. The processing of the hour and minute hands is extremely meticulous and considered top class among replica watches. Of course, there is still a slight difference between the hour-minute hand engraving technique of the replica watch and the original; While the original is basically thin, smooth and burr-free, the replica's workmanship still lags a bit.

The so-called one-piece movement here is still the 9015, but the machining technique has changed. The previous was 9015 plus bridge technique; Now, it is modified directly on the basis of the 9015, without adding a bridge, by directly changing the external form of the movement; more determined, more qualified, more realistic. In homage to the original of the automatic rotor; It is the only version on the market whose color is exactly the same as the original (general versions on the market tend to be red). The AP crest engraving on it is unique. Although the mechanism has reached a similar level in terms of appearance, the sense of mechanical depth of its parts is still a bit weak. Also, the position of some measurements, for example the position of the mainspring return measurement, is again different from the original; But in a model with an open-back mechanism, you should not push it too hard.

Case and Body Workmanship

It has perfectly reproduced every detail of the original case; It fully reflects the 'sharp-edged, solid and brave' masculine character of the original. What stands out about this watch is its masculine character, and what reveals this character is the form of the steel and polishing-brushing workmanship. We could feel how good ZF's workmanship was in the previous ZF Factory Audemars Piguet 15400.

The 'biscuit texture' of the dial is three-dimensional, full and vibrant! In terms of color, black and white are the colors that the replica is least afraid of because they are easy to produce; especially black. White, on the other hand, was produced relatively late because it required a silvery shine. The dial of this watch is not only three-dimensional and plump with a biscuit texture, but its color is also pure white and silvery. Adding to this the highly polished inner bezel on the side, the entire reflected dial looks smoother and more fascinating; It is really enjoyable to look at with the contribution of the metallic texture.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The workmanship of the steel bracelet is flawless; It is one step superior to the workmanship of any steel bracelet watch on the market. The tightness-looseness of the 'buffer band' where the bracelet links meet the case head is exactly the same as the original. When we examine the belt carefully, we see that the craftsmanship of this ZF Factory 15500 has really come into place in the brushing of the belt and the chamfered sections of the corners; It is like an elegant toy when worn in the hand.

How is the ZF Factory AP 15500 crafting?

F Factory Audemars Piguet 15500 is currently the highest-end version on the market; because the other versions did not release a single-piece mechanism and it lags behind ZF Factory in the movement and some details. Part of the reason this watch was able to hit the market so quickly is that the ZF Factory Audemars Piguet 15400 laid the groundwork; There was no need for major changes to the strap, buckle and some case parts, which saved a lot of work. Once the machining technique of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak steel watch and the production method of its various parts are established, once a suitable contract manufacturer is found, it is sufficient to simply place an order and have it made as desired. A lot of time can be saved thanks to previous experience in matters such as color adjustment of the dial, date version, hour and minute hands.
