As an old watch fan who has been playing with watches for many years, I have always had strict requirements for replica watches – not only the face, but also the “core”, and it must be comfortable to wear and withstand close inspection. Recently I bought the latest version of Audemars Piguet 26331 Purple Frost Gold from APS. To be honest, the moment I put it on my hand, I was a little confused: Is this really not the original?
Let me talk about the point that touches me the most:Thickness. Many replicas of 26331 modified from 7750 are often 15mm thick, and it looks like a small pot lid on your hand when worn. However, the APS model has precise control over11mm, almost identical to the original version. It fits the wrist perfectly and does not get stuck in the cuffs of a suit. This is the elegant proportion that the Royal Oak should have.
The dial is where I fell in love with it at first glance. It uses“Tapisserie” biscuit pattern molded at the counter, not the ordinary printing pattern, but a three-dimensional shading with real concave and convex feeling. Under natural light, the radial lines spread out from the center, and with the purple panda color scheme, the sense of layering is directly enhanced. The AP metal mark at 12 o’clock has been highlighted and polished, the bar scale is curved and the edges are rounded, and even the calendar window has been polished.micro step processing, the font oil pressure is clear and there is no ink spillage – these details can only be done by comparing the original with a magnifying glass.
The most special thing isFrost gold craft. Many people think it is sandblasting or plating. In fact, APS is on the 316 stainless steel case.Countless tiny dimples are struck by hand, forming that metallic texture that sparkles but is not dazzling. When the light shines on it, the entire watch looks like it’s sprinkled with diamonds, but it’s not tacky. All six screws on the bezel are sunk and flush with the bezel, making it smooth to the touch and not scratching your hands. This is something that many manufacturers ignore.
The movement is even more surprising. APS usesDandong customized integrated 4801 flyback chronograph movement, not the kind of “decoration” where the plywood is fake. Open the bottom cover, you will find a gold automatic rotor engraved with the AP logo, 22K vacuum plating, fine brushing, optimized edge weighting, and high winding efficiency. More importantly, it is trulyFull gear linkageStructure – when the timing is started, the internal gears actually rotate, consistent with the original logic. The calendar system has also been redesigned, the calendar jumps neatly and neatly, and its stability is far superior to ordinary modified movements.
The straps are equally attentive. The stainless steel links are alternately brushed and polished, and the sides are chamfered and polished, seamlessly integrating with the case. The 750 mark and the dog head mark are clear and profound, and even these small places are correct, showing full sincerity.
In general, this 26331 purple frost gold from APS factory,From vision, touch to movement performance, it has almost reached the ceiling in the field of replicas.. If you are looking for an Audemars Piguet replica that can be worn daily, is recognizable, and can withstand careful scrutiny by people who know watches, it is definitely the most worthy choice at the moment. Wearing it, you don’t need to explain – because the details have already spoken for you.
