If you want to say who can make the Royal Oak “fake and real” among the current replica watch circles, thenAPSAbsolutely do my part. Recently they launched thisAP15500 White Surface Ultimate Edition (V4 Edition), not only is the appearance closer to the original, but it has also completed a qualitative leap in the core movement and disk technology.
Many people may still remember that although the Royal Oak on the market earlier had a white surface, it always gave people a “shiny white and obviously fake” feeling – the disk surface was too flat and lacked layers, and looked like a sticker from a distance. As for the ultimate version of APS, the core upgrade is exactlyComprehensive color correction and texture reconstruction of the disk surface。
The current white noodles are no longer monotonous pure white, but have addedDelicate radial pattern + gray hair texture, the shading is also made into a grainy “biscuit plaid”, showing rich light and shadow changes under different lights. Viewed from the front, it is a warm ivory white, and under side light you can see slight gray radiating lines. This sense of luxury can only be understood by those who have actually seen the original. It is no exaggeration to say,Today’s white noodles are even more attractive and tasty than black and blue noodles.。
The diameter of the watch is 41mm, and the thickness is controlled at about 10.4mm. There may be an error of 0.1~0.2mm in manual measurement, but the overall proportion is almost the same as the original. It fits the wrist when worn, without losing dominance or bulkiness.
Mirror surface adoptsHighly transparent sapphire glass, transparent and impurity-free, scratch-resistant and wear-resistant. The octagonal bezel continues the classic design, symbolizing “money coming from all directions”. The six screws on the bezel have been slightly sunk – almost invisible to touch by hand. However, when viewed from the side, it can be clearly seen that the screws are slightly lower than the plane of the bezel. This detail is the key to distinguishing between “refined imitation” and “similar”.
The case and strap are all made of316L stainless steel, the drawing process is extremely delicate, each link of the chain belt has been polished by hand, and the texture is even and smooth. The corners are rounded and polished, making the transition natural and not cutting your hands. The headband of the watch strap is designed to be finely adjusted for a more fitting fit. The inside of the folding buckle, the buckle button, and even the AP logo are all made ofThree-dimensional relief technology, the font is clear and the texture is full.
The most surprising thing is its4302 integrated movement. In the past, many versions used fake 4302 modified from 9015. The balance wheel was positioned at six o’clock, which revealed the secret at a glance. The APS model isTrue one-piece movement structure, balance wheel at seven o’clock, fully synchronized with the original layout. Not only that, but also achievedInstantaneous jumping calendar + clockwise adjustmentThe functions and watch adjustment experience are consistent with the original ones, and you no longer have to worry about the problem of “incorrect adjustment that damages the movement”.
The automatic rotor is coated with K gold texture, and the hot stamping and engraving craftsmanship is exquisite. It shines brightly when it swings. Opening the back cover is simply pleasing to the eye.
It is worth mentioning that there is another version on the market calledIP factory, although it also uses the 4302 integrated movement, the dial has not been upgraded with radial patterns. It is still the old white surface, and the texture difference is obvious. So,You can easily distinguish APS and IP by looking at the texture of the disk surface.——This is also the tacit “secret of inspection” among old players.
In general, APS’s Royal Oak Ultimate Edition AP15500 white surface is no longer at the level of “can be worn out”, but has truly reached the level of “no one dares to wear it out”. From the dial, the case to the movement, every aspect has withstood scrutiny, making it one of the best in the current replica market.One of the most comprehensive Royal Oaks。
If you have been waiting for oneIt’s high-end, stable, detailed, and not afraid of the light.AP15500, then this white-faced ultimate version is really worthy of your serious consideration.
