APS Factory AP Royal Oak 1017 ALYX 9SM Replica Review

Design and Build Quality

Here we have a custom-designed Audemars Piguet watch that showcases the signature octagonal bezel of the Royal Oak series. It's often referred to as "Iron Man" due to its robust and metallic appearance. The entire watch is crafted from stainless steel, with no other materials involved, creating a cohesive metal aesthetic. The dial, also stainless steel, is minimalist, featuring only hands and a date window positioned at 3 o’clock, embodying the sleek and powerful "Iron Man" motif. The creator of this bespoke AP Royal Oak remains unknown, yet its unique appeal attracts those eager to explore this modern style.

APS Factory's Ambitious Release

In a strategic move, the APS Factory has launched a new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch ahead of ZF Factory. If they maintain this momentum, they could surpass ZF in producing high-quality Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replicas. APS Factory shows a promising future in dominating this segment, especially with models like the 15400 and 15500 which hold significant market share. Their 3120 movement, used in the Royal Oak 15400, is heralded as the top clone 3120 movement available, even better than ZF’s version. With further refinement in case and bracelet craftsmanship, APS could become the market leader, much like JF Factory has been for over a decade. Enthusiasts hope APS will lead in this field, simplifying the choice for the best Audemars Piguet replicas.

Movement and Features

The craftsmanship of the case and bracelet is superb, comparable to other stainless steel Royal Oak replicas. The "Iron Man" model feels substantial and well-balanced, with the polygonal bezel aligning seamlessly with the case. To assess the quality of finishing, one can run their fingers over the watch, paying attention to every edge and corner—top factories excel in these fine details, ensuring a smooth touch without any roughness. The APS Factory's super clone 3120 automatic movement powers the AP Royal Oak "Iron Man." It's considered the finest clone 3120 calibre on the market, outperforming ZF’s version. The transparent case back allows for an easy inspection of its components. Unlike a simple adaptation of the Miyota 9015 with decorative plates, this calibre from APS Factory is a superior creation.
