This is the latest replica watch from APS Factory, it is the AP 26420 with gray ceramic bezel. The watch comes with SH4401, we already introduced this movement before, it is a super clone movement that has the same important meaning as the DD4130 that was released years ago, and the SH4401 has been in this industry for months since its release, it has been proven to be reliable. SH4401 was firstly equipped in the AP 26240 by APS and the watch immediately became hot, now this movement has been upgraded to V2, which features a free-sprung balance wheel, the price of the watch also increases greatly.
APS Factory has published several models of Audemars Piguet 26420, I only recommended the black one before, now this gray one also looks great, together with the black model, both have no color difference and are made with correct materials.
Do I recommend the 26240 and 26420 made by APS Factory? Yes, I do. Both watches from APS are the best ones in our market. However, currently APS are offering these two watches with V1 SH4401 and V2 SH4401 at the same time. The V1 SH4401 has a regulator above the balance wheel, the V2 SH4401 has a free-sprung balance wheel. V1 is much cheaper, with a free-sprung balance wheel, V2 looks closer to the genuine even checking the movement through the back. However, in future daily use, it is very difficult for you the adjust the accuracy on V2, even you take the watch to a store, the repairman may not be able to regulate the movement, and it is not convenient to send the watch back to the factory. So, I recommend the V1 from APS.
At last, in our market, it is said ORF or GF has been back, we have not heard from them for a long time, several days ago, ORF published the Seamaster with new movement to form a competition with VS. But the movement both in ORF Seamaster or VSF Seamaster has extra regulator above the balance wheel, ORF does beautiful fish-scale decoration on the movement plates. Almost all Seamaster 300 models from VSF have been upgraded with the latest 8800 movement, and they do not offer the Seamaster 300 with old 2824 movement now. Actually I like the old movement(2824) more because its regulator is more invisible. Next in Seamaster 300, I think VS Factory will remove the extra regulator on the movement.
