APS Factory V2 Replica Audemars Piguet 26240 with Free-Sprung Balance

APS Factory published the Audemars Piguet 26240 on February of 2025, it is a replica watch with real flyback chrono function, I introduced this watch on my blog at https://www.wristwatchspot.com/2025/02/21/aps-factory-replica-audemars-piguet-flyback-chrono-26240/, when just came out, they got so many orders that the factory could not keep up, customers usually have to wait for around a month for the watch, but it’s fine now. The AP 26240 has become a best seller in the market, APS Factory just carried out a big improvement on the movement, which has been updated to be with a free-sprung balance.

The movement does not change, it is still the same SH4401 as previous one, the only change is the stem was removed and weights were added on the balance wheel. Before, to get a SH4401 with free-sprung balance, some people paid a lot of money to modify the movement in mod workshop, the modification cost was absolutely very high, now APS makes the movement out, APS also increases the price of the watch, but not too high. If you want to experience the latest V2 26240 from APS, need to place your order from the factory, then will not wait for too long.

This is a big step forward for APS, which has made a great contribution in this industry, for people who want to buy the best Audemars Piguet replicas, now I will suggest you buy from APS Factory, whether they consider to buy the regular Royal Oak 15400 or 15500, or the Royal Oak Chronograph 26240, APS Factory is the best choice. By the way, this factory just published the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331, which is also a very good-looking watch that has been sought after by a lot of people for many years. Between 26240 and 26331, which watch do you like? I like 26331 more, but for the replica watch, AP 26240 replica has a more stable movement.

APS almost dominates the market of the replica Audemars Piguet watches, if they can develop a super clone 3126 movement for the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Secs@12, then no one will be able to compete with them.

Nautilus 5711 BBF vs 3KF

Many people here wanted to buy the best Patek Philippe replica watches, they asked me which Patek Philippe watch has a super clone, I always recommend Nautilus 5711, this replica watch has been in the market for many years, it indeed has a high quality, many factories are competing against each other in replica Nautilus 5711, about four or five years ago, one factory named 3K published the replica Nautilus 5711 with a super clone 324 movement in the market, which brought the development of replica Patek Philippe watches into a new era. During the past four or five years, PPF and 3KF have always been competing in the replica Patek Nautilus 5711 watches, but it seems like 3K Factory won this battle, because they have the super clone 324 movement, while the movement used in PPF Nautilus 5711 is a Japanese Miyota movement that has similar decoration to genuine 324 calibre. However, in August, in the field of replica Nautilus 5711, two new factories appeared, one if BBF, the other DDF. Actually BBF is not new to us, they made Hublot Big Bang Unico replicas before. These two factories now got the super clone 324 movement, how did they get this movement, it was only authorized to be used by 3KF before, I think many people are curious about this. Because the exclusive movement licensing agreement between the movement factory and 3KF has just ended, so more factories are able to use this movement in future.

Now, it is time to know the difference of the Nautilus 5711 between BBF and 3KF. The main difference lies in the dial. BBF claims that they have a cooperation with SW Factory, they directly use the SW Dial on their Nautilus 5711. You know, many people bought the Nautilus 5711 before and to pursue perfection, they usually replaced the dial with the SW dial, this cost them a lot of money, the SW dial is not cheap. Now BBF directly uses the SW Dial on their watch, this reduces the cost of secondary modifications on the replica watch. Look at the pictures below, the left watch is from BBF, the right watch is made by 3KF.

First, we notice that the color on the BBF Nautilus is darker, the dial color of the 3KF Nautilus looks slightly grey. The dial color of BBF is closer to that of genuine watch.

Second, the printings of “PATEK PHILIPPE” and “GENEVE” are thicker than that on 3KF dial.

Third, the date font, the black date font on BBF is thicker than that of 3KF. Actually the genuine watch also has a slightly thicker date font like BBF.

Fourth, on 3KF, the edge and corner of the hour markers are sharp, while on BBF, the corner of the hour markers has round polishing.

Fifth, the movement is same, but the engravings on the movement plates and auto rotor are deeper on BBF.

I will take more pictures of BBF Nautilus and do better comparison in future.

VS Factory Replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 Bruce Wayne

Before VS, Clean already made this replica Rolex GMT-Master II before, now Clean is closed, many people are asking me if this factory will come back, I am afraid that they will not, it is very hard. And this is a lost for our watch fans, because I always think that Clean makes the best replicas of Rolex GMT-Master II, even VS has tried their best efforts to make good quality replica Rolex GMT-Master II, but I think in some details they are still not as good as the ones made by Clean. Besides Clean, I want to talk about another factory before our today’s topic, it is ZF. There is a rumor in the market that ZF was closed years ago, now today the watches such as AP 15400, 15500 and others are not from the real ZF, if this is true, would you still buy watches from ZF? In my opinion, this does not matter, after all these watches still have the same good quality as before.

Today, I will make a brief review on the replica Rolex GMT-Master II watch with black and grey ceramic bezel, it is the latest model released by VS Factory. The watch comes with a jubilee bracelet, VS will launch the one with Oyster bracelet soon.

Bezel

VS GMT-Master II Black Grey
Bezel Color

The black and grey ceramic bezel insert is the same as that on previous Clean, they use the bezel coming from the same watch parts manufacturer. The shift between black and gray appears smooth.

Bezel Marker Platinum Coating

The platinum coating on the bezel markers features a frosted finish, which is the same as the genuine.

Dial

Dial Green GMT Hand

First, it is the green GMT hand, it looks brighter on the replica, while the hand on the genuine watch is dark green.

Seeing from the side, the hour hand and minute hand look flatter than that of the Clean factory, both hands are lack of the rounded polishing.

There is a layer of blue coating on the date magnifier, it does not look obvious, but you will find blue hue at a certain angle.

Bezel

The bezel rotates with a tight, precise feel – not loose at all. Each click has a very defined/positive engagement.

Bracelet

Bracelet
Bracelet Close Up

The bracelet has a very good finish, which is polishing on the center links and brushing on the links at both sides. The brushing lines on the links are very obvious but also very refined.

Clasp Engravings

The engravings on the clasp. “ROLEX” is thinner and shallower than the genuine, the engravings of the other letterings are also shallower.

Movement

3285 Movement

It is DD3285, the same super clone 3285 movement as the one used by Clean before. The movement is very stable, like DD4130, it usually has no issues and can be used for many years. Some websites selling this movement as a Swiss movement option, this is not correct, this movement is cloned in China.

Conclusion

This GMT-Master Rolex replica watch from VS is currently the best one in the market. If you want to compare it with the one made by Clean, I must say each has their own advantages. In some details like the hands polishing and the edge polishing of the sapphire crystal, they are better finished by Clean. Unfortunately Clean has been closed.

Aquanaut 5168 Green 3KF vs BBF

This replica Patek Philippe Aquanaut watch has been in the market for years, in the past, the best one is made by 3K Factory, but this factory seems to be extremely lazy because they almost have done no upgrades on this replica watch, I think this is because no one else can use the super clone 324 movement, 3K has totally controled it in the past several years, so people have no choices, if they wanted to buy the best replica of this Patek Philippe Aquanaut watch with a super clone movement, 3K is the only option. However, just several weeks ago, the exclusive licensing agreement between 3K factory and the movement manufacturer has expired, now many factories can get the super clone PP324 movement if they have enough money, BBF is not the first one, but the Aquanaut 5168 from them is really good, I made a simple comparison between it and the one from 3K.

Patek Philippe Aquanaut 3K vs BBF

The left watch is from 3K, the right one is from BBF. Which one do you like? The left one looks too green. The green color on the right watch is closer to genuine watch.

Since its release, 3K factory has never made color upgrade on this replica watch, this is not acceptable, many buyers paid a lot of money to seek dial and rubber band in correct color to change on, now you do not need to waste money to do this now, the Aquanaut from BBF has correct color on the dial and the rubber band.

The date font on BBF Aquanaut is thicker. It is said that the Aquanaut from BBF uses the date wheel made by SW.

The engraving on 324 movement of BBF
3KF 330
The 330 movement of 3KF

The movement in the BBF Aquanaut is a clone PP324, whose engravings on the plates are deeper. The engravings on the PP330 of the 3KF Aquanaut are a bit too shallow.

The weight of the 3KF Aquanaut is about 98.5 grams, while the weight of the BBF Aquanaut is about 100.6 grams.

Dial Lume

The dial lume light has no big difference, but it seems like the lume light on the 3K is stronger.

My conclusion:

BBF makes improvements on the dial, rubber band and movement engravings, it is more cost-efficient to buy this watch from BBF.

VS Factory Replica Omega Planet Ocean Worldtimer Turquoise

Last time, the Omega Aqua Terra 150m Worldtimer published by VS Factory is very popular, this Omega Planet Ocean Worldtimer is the new arrival from them, there are two models, black and this turquoise, absolutely this turquoise watch is more attractive.

After the closure of Clean, VS has become the true leader in the market, other watch makers appear to be much more low-key, now in replica Rolex field, probably VS will dominate the market, this is not good for our watch fans. Many people like the watches made by VS, which indeed produces good quality replica watches of Panerai, Omega and Rolex, but their watches also have shortcomings, so do not idolize them, just like some people did on the watches made by Noob before. Take the Omega Planet Ocean Worldtimer replica watch as an example, it is from VS, but it has flaws.

First, the Omega replica watch is made with ceramic material, let me measure its case diameter and thickness.

Omega Planet Ocean WorldTimer Case Diameter

The case is measured to have a diameter of 45.3mm to 45.5mm, the case thickness is about 17mm, the specification is the same as that of the genuine watch.

The replica has a weight of 151.9 grams, it is heavier than the genuine watch that is only 143 grams.

On the genuine watch, the case is ceramic made, but the crown and clasp use titanium, on the replica, the crown and clasp are probably made with stainless steel and then plated with black pvd, they are not made with titanium.

This is the finish of the bezel insert on the replica watch.

Ceramic Bezel on Genuine

This is the genuine. Obviously the genuine bezel is more grainy. On the replica bezel, the texture looks more like small grids. VS has made a big mistake on the bezel of this watch, so currently I do not suggest you buy this replica watch.

On the dial, there are also small differences if you compare the replica with genuine watch, but not that obvious like on the bezel. The black sculpture on the center that represents the lands looks more tri-dimensional on the genuine.

The movement is a super clone 8938, which has a beating frequency of 28,800 times per hous, while the genuine movement has a frequency of 25,200. The core technology of the clone movement still differs significantly from the genuine Omega Calibre, the factory just added or removed extra modules on the original movement, then made the close decoration, nothing big deal, but the jewels are real and gears can work. A lot of dealers said this movement is a 1:1 clone of the original, that’s not true, however, it indeed represents the most high-end watch-making technology in replica Omega area.
