APS Factory replica watch Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26240
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is a highly recognizable wristwatch. The 26240 model is also quite popular and has a rich array of functions, making it highly recognizable. As the leading brand of Audemars Piguet replica watches, APS Factory has launched this white ceramic version, which has attracted watch enthusiasts who like uniqueness in terms of material upgrade. Below, I will conduct a deep review of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26240 replica watch from APS Factory, and also talk about the advantages and disadvantages of ceramic material watches, as well as a detailed evaluation of the 4401 movement, to help you have a comprehensive understanding.
How about the appearance and the ceramic material
The APS factory’s replica of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26240 is precisely controlled at 41MM in size, which is a very friendly size for most watch enthusiasts. It retains the grandeur of the Royal Oak without being overly flamy. The white case and bracelet paired with the black dial make it perfectly suitable for both formal wear and casual suits. In terms of thickness, it is equipped with the 4401 integrated movement, with a thickness controlled at 12.4MM. Even when wearing a shirt, it can be easily tucked into the sleeve without the embarrassment of getting stuck due to its excessive thickness, significantly enhancing the wearing experience. This 26240 model extensively uses ceramic material, which is also the mainstream material for high-end watches. Let’s first take a look at the advantages of this ceramic material. APS factory uses high-purity zirconia ceramic raw materials. After multiple processes, it presents a fine and warm texture and color, with a smooth touch and no rough feeling. Moreover, ceramic material is lighter than steel material and has better scratch resistance. There is no need to worry about scratches or oxidation and discoloration. The case is alternately treated with brushing and polishing, and the craftsmanship texture is excellent. Paired with a black dial, this color combination is also quite classic. The layout of the three small dials is reasonable, with a stepped sinking design. The concentric circle texture is fine, and the texture is the quality that a high-end wristwatch should have. The position and size are consistent with the original version, and there is also a date display. The APS factory has used stamping technology to restore the three-dimensional pyramid structure pattern, which is rarely produced by ordinary factories. The dial also has a luminous function, fully meeting the daily night needs. The “AP” engraved on the top of the screw-down crown is clear and three-dimensional, with a moderate depth of texture and uniform damping when rotated. The timing buttons on both sides feel firm and elastic when pressed, with clear travel feedback. The operation feel is almost the same as that of the original version. The date display window is located at the 3 o ‘clock position, with a built-in magnifying glass and a light blue anti-glare film coating. The magnification effect is natural, the date digital printing is clear, and the jump is precise and error-free.
APS Factory 26240 movement Free-sprung evaluation
APS Factory has gained its core competitiveness through technological breakthroughs in movements and has a place in the high-end watch market. APS Factory has been constantly iterating, and this 4401 integrated movement is seamless. The free-range movement is a common movement adjustment technique in high-end watches. It differs from the traditional method of adjusting the speed through a hairspring clip. The free-range movement achieves precision adjustment by configuring fine-tuning weights. It has better anti-interference performance and stability. In the field of replica watches, the vast majority of integrated movements still retain the prominent structure of “two studs” at the shock absorber position – this is a major flaw in replica watch movements. This time, the APS factory has launched a version without a balance wheel, which has removed these two pins and added a weight fine-tuning device to the balance wheel, greatly enhancing the visual fidelity of the movement. This also means that even if the cover is opened for inspection, it is very difficult to tell the authenticity at a glance. Functionally, all functions have been fully realized, including timing and date display, as well as the flyback and reverse jump function. All of these are truly useful. However, the non-calibration version is indeed more expensive than other versions. This is because the cost of the movement is higher, the development difficulty is greater, the precision requirements for parts are higher, the process is more complex, and it takes longer. Even so, it is still a replica watch and should be viewed rationally. Watch enthusiasts who like this high-quality wristwatch can consider it.
