AP 26240 DDF vs APS

Many people may be interested in this watch, after all DDF is the first watch manufacturer to publish the replica in batch with free-sprung balance, but is it really a wise choice to choose from DDF? Because APS also has the free-sprung balance version, I already introduced here https://www.wristwatchspot.com/2025/08/29/aps-factory-v2-replica-audemars-piguet-26240-with-free-sprung-balance/. In my opinion, the AP 26240 from DDF does not have the real free-sprung balance, the balance wheel does not have weights, so it will be very hard to adjust the accuracy, and the 26240 from both DDF and APS has a very similar price, so my advice is do not buy from DDF. Here are some pictures of the 26240 from DDF.

After publishing the V2 edition of AP 26240, now the AP 26420 from APS is also equipped with the super clone 4401 with free-sprung balance, please check the pictures below, this is the latest V2 edition of 26420. This should be the best quality replica of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chrono watch in this industry. Many people are interested in buying a high quality replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chrono, both 26240 and 26420 from APS are good choices, and for the 26331, do not buy it currently, we can wait until a better version comes out.

APS Factory has always placed great importance on the research and development of new super clone movements, and the release of the V2 26240 with free-sprung balance also has proven the clone 4401 movement to be highly stable, or they would not update the movement. APS Factory has been in this industry for many years, at the beginning, the movement they developed for the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve surprised everyone, we still remember the other movements from APS, such as 3120 for the AP 15400, 925 for the Jaeger LeCoultre Moon Phase, they are all good super clone movements that have made a big contribution in this area. Besides the movement, I do hope APS can pay the same important attention to the finish of the watch.

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.

APS Factory Replica Audemars Piguet Flyback Chrono 26240

Now, these watches have become more and more expensive in recent years, indeed, the watch-making technology has been greatly improved and these watches are becoming better and better, but is it really worth to spend more than 800 US Dollars on such a replica watch? And it still has flaws, even the best ones like Daytona and Submariner, whether made by Clean or VS, they are not perfect, we can find flaws on them. Some cheap replicas can work accurately for years, but some super clones may broken or have issues within several weeks after receiving, that’s the truth.

For this AP watch we are going to discuss today, APS Factory has had a plan to develop its 4401 movement since 2023, after two years of researching and development, this super clone 4401 finally came out in January of 2025, this is the first chronograph movement that has a flyback feature in this industry, it is more complex than the DD4130 movement developed by Noob before, but I can not say this 4401 is more durable and stable than the Dandong 4130, the stability and durability of 4401 still need to be tested by time. Dandong 4130 is the most stable chrono movement used in replica watches, it often does not have issues.

For the AP 26240, APS has four stainless steel models and one black ceramic model in stock, the rose gold models still need to wait. The four stainless steel models have white dial, black dial, blue dial and green dial options. If you want one, I only suggest you buy the one with white dial or black dial, because the 26240 with blue dial or green dial has color difference. Surely APS will improve this in future. And you do not need to pay extra money to replace the dial, I see some dealers have already offered the dial replacing service, no need.

The polishing and brushing finish on the case and bracelet is super, the checkers on the dial and the patterns on each checker are 1:1 clone of that on genuine, with their experience in making the AP 15500, APS can make a great dial for the 26240. I took a lot of pictures of its dial, please check them below, could you please find any flaws?

There are some obvious flaws you can easily find on the APS 26240, for example, the screws is on the same horizon line as the face of the bezel, they should be slightly sunkened. The end link of the braclet that connects the case is not too flexible. The engravings on the movement plates are not deep, and the gold tone of the auto rotor is not correct, that’s understandable because the rotor is not solid gold made.

For this AP 26240, you do not need to be so hurry to buy it, after more reviews coming out, then you can make a decision on which one to buy. Like on the 15500 and 15407, APS will certainly make improvements on their 26240 in next months. By the way, the 26240 has a thickness of 12.4mm and has a weight of 170.7 grams.
