In the field of high-end replica watches, Richard Mille has always attracted attention for its unique design and exquisite craftsmanship. The latest Richard Mille RM055 V2 version launched by APS Factory has become the focus of the replica watch market with its Dandong integrated movement and imported NTPT carbon fiber material. Today, we will analyze this watch in depth from multiple perspectives such as material, movement, and design details, and compare it with the ZF factory version to see who is better.
Material and appearance: The ultimate texture of imported NTPT carbon fiber
The APS factory RM055 V2 version uses imported NTPT carbon fiber material. This material is not only high in strength and light in weight, but also has a unique carbon fiber texture that shines in the sun and shows a metallic luster. Every detail of the watch case has been carefully polished, and the carbon fiber texture is clearly visible, perfectly restoring the texture of the original version.
The sapphire mirror adopts a high-curvature design and has been treated with double-sided electroplating and high-permeability film. It has excellent permeability and can clearly display the complex movement structure inside the dial. The slight blue coating on the mirror surface shows a light blue luster under the light, further enhancing the visual layering of the watch.
Movement: The pinnacle of Dandong integrated movement
The APS factory RM055 V2 version is equipped with Dandong’s latest version of the RMULL2 integrated movement, which is also one of the highest versions of the movement in the replica watch market. The similarity of this movement is as high as 95%, which makes it almost fake. Every gear of the movement is truly movable, and the rotation of the barrel is clearly visible when winding. The hollow design of the balance wheel also further increases the ornamental value of the movement.
Compared with the old version, the V2 version of the movement has undergone many upgrades in details:
- barrel gear color: Matte or dark finish, closer to the original.
- Skeleton brushed texture: Finely polished for better texture.
- Solid machine foot design: Changed from the round shape of the old version to the heart shape, consistent with the original version.
- Seconds stop function when needle is pulled out: Crisp feel and smooth operation.
In addition, the APS factory has also optimized the stability of the movement, significantly improving the dynamic storage performance and durability, completely solving the stability problem of the old version of the movement.
Design details: excellence in replica craftsmanship
The APS factory strives for excellence in handling details. The dimensions and thickness of the case are the same as the original, at 50mm (height), 42mm (width) and 13.05mm (thickness) respectively. The screws on the case are made of titanium and have been electroplated in dark gray, the color is consistent with the original version.
The details on the buckle and strap are equally stunning. The engraving on the buckle is deep and three-dimensional, with moderate elasticity and excellent hand feel. The strap is made of natural fluorine rubber, which is soft and fit, and comfortable to wear. The head part is also made of titanium, which is both strong and lightweight.
APS factory vs ZF factory: Who is more worth buying?
The ZF factory has also launched an integrated movement version of the RM055, but in terms of price and details, the APS factory clearly has the advantage:
- Price: The APS factory’s pricing is more reasonable and more cost-effective.
- movement: The APS factory uses the V2 version of the movement, which has better stability and detail processing.
- Material: The NTPT carbon fiber material from APS factory has better texture and shiny texture.
Of course, the ZF factory version also has its highlights, but overall, the APS factory RM055 V2 version is superior in terms of material, movement and detail processing, and is currently the closest option to the original version in the replica watch market.

The APS Richard Mille RM055 V2 version has become a leader in the replica watch market with its imported NTPT carbon fiber material, Dandong integrated movement and meticulous detail processing.
