In recent years, many excellent brands have emerged in the replica watch market, among which APS factory and ZF factory have attracted much attention in the replica field of Richard Mille RM055. Today, we will comprehensively compare the latest RM055 V2 version launched by APS factory with products from ZF factory from multiple dimensions such as appearance, material, movement performance, etc. to help you better choose a watch that suits you.
Appearance design: imported NTPT material + high-curvature sapphire mirror
The APS factory RM055 V2 version uses imported NTPT (thin layer composite technology) carbon fiber material. This material is not only stronger than the steel shell, but also has a unique texture, showing a metallic luster in the sun, and the visual effect is very shocking. Compared with the ZF factory, the carbon fiber texture of the APS factory is more delicate and aligned, almost the same as the original. In addition, the sapphire mirror from the APS factory adopts a high-curvature design and has been treated with double-sided electroplating and high-permeability film. It has excellent permeability. The separate assembly design consistent with the original version further enhances the sense of precision.
Although the ZF factory also uses similar materials, it is slightly inferior in details. For example, the carbon fiber texture is not natural enough, and the clarity and three-dimensionality of the mirror are not as good as those of the APS factory. Overall, the appearance design of APS factory is closer to the original version, which is especially more attractive in the eyes of high-end players.
Movement performance: Dandong integrated movement V2 version fully upgraded
The APS factory RM055 V2 version is equipped with the latest version of Dandong’s RMULL2 integrated movement, which is one of the highest versions of replica movements currently on the market. The similarity of this movement is over 95%. Whether it is the color of the gears, the brushed texture of the skeleton, or the operation of the barrel, it highly restores the design of the original movement. In addition, the APS factory has made many optimizations to the movement. For example, the solid machine feet have been changed from the round shape of the old version to the heart shape, which is exactly the same as the original version; the hollow area is larger, and the gear operation is smoother; the hand of the needle pull-out and stop-seconds function is also crisper and neater.
In comparison, although the integrated movement of the ZF factory is of a certain standard, its stability is slightly inferior, and some details do not reach the level of sophistication of the APS factory. For example, there are deviations in the movement skeleton texture and gear color of the ZF factory, and the overall texture is slightly rough. Therefore, if you are pursuing higher movement restoration and stability, APS factory is undoubtedly a better choice.
Size and details: precise alignment, excellent texture
The size and thickness of the APS factory RM055 V2 version are strictly in accordance with the original version. The case width is 42 mm, the height is 50 mm, and the thickness is 13.05 mm. It is extremely comfortable to wear. The screws on the watch case are all made of titanium and treated with dark gray electroplating, and the details are very elegant. The frosted engraving on the buckle is deep and three-dimensional, and the feel is also very good.
It is worth mentioning that the watch strap of the APS factory is made of natural fluorine rubber, which is soft and fit, and the mounting head is also made of titanium, which is both light and strong. Although the watch strap from the ZF factory is also good, it is slightly lacking in softness and fit, and may cause discomfort when worn for a long time.
Cost-effectiveness analysis: APS factory has more advantages
In terms of price, the pricing of the RM055 V2 version from APS Factory is very reasonable, and you can buy it for only more than 4,000 yuan. Compared with the slightly higher pricing of the ZF factory, the APS factory is not only more cost-effective, but also has obvious advantages in materials and movements. Looking back on the past two years, the price of this movement alone was once as high as 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Now, with the maturity of technology and market competition, the price has dropped significantly, making the RM055 V2 version of the APS factory a value-for-money choice.
Of course, replica watches cannot be completely comparable to original watches. For example, the balance wheel of the original watch adopts a cardless design, while the replica watch uses a cardinal design; the gem inlay of the original watch is more exquisite, while the replica watch is mostly decorated with patches. However, considering the price gap, the RM055 V2 version of APS Factory has reached a very high degree of restoration and is one of the most cost-effective options on the market.
Summary: APS Factory RM055 V2 version is more worthy of recommendation
Taken together, the APS factory RM055 V2 version is superior to the ZF factory in terms of appearance, material, movement performance and cost performance. If you are looking for a highly restored and reasonably priced Richard Mille RM055 replica watch, APS Factory is undoubtedly the best choice.
