October 2024 – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

YS, I rarely heard people talk about this factory, some people said that YS is actually the JB factory, if this is true, now I will know some things about this watch maker. How about the quality of their watches? Good, and they are mainly producing high quality replica watches with tourbillon movement, including Richard Mille tourbillon watches and Roger Dubuis tourbillon watches, I remember that the most popular Richard Mille replica watch they made is the RM53-01, which was really good and became one of the best sellers for a short period of time. Now, many watch makers in our market have several different names, we know the reason why they did like this, in case you do not know and avoid being scammed, if you are not sure about the background of one watch maker, you can contact me through email.

The popularity of Richard Mille is very high, so it is in this industry, about five years ago, there were not super clones of Richard Mille watches, most high quality ones were made by KV, now, the quality of replica Richard Mille becomes higher and higher, which is very close the super clone level, like ZF, Sonic, JB, RM, they all have top quality RM replicas. However, there is a very strange thing, usually a very very good Richard Mille replica firstly came out, but it was not made by these factories above, the highest quality edition usually firstly came out from a modder or a department who do customized jobs, like the ALL Black Department that made RM35-01 in earlier years, but All Black Department sold the RM35-01 at a very high price, after some time, maybe one or two years later, then ZF or other makers like Sonic and BBR would produce the RM35-01 according to the look of ABD version, but the price is greatly reduced. About this Richard Mille RM066 Rock & Roll replica watch, it is the same way, there was a custom-made version in the market and sold at a very high price, now, YS made one and allowed RM fans to buy it at a more affordable price. It is made with carbon material and uses a genuine tourbillon movement, you can see the tourbillon device is at 12 o’clock, the dial is replicated accroding to genuine watch, but such type of skeleton dial will always has difference if you compare it with a genuine. I think no factories will make this watch in future.

I never thought that APS factory will publish this replica IWC watch ahead of Z factory, because Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve is one of the most popular replicas watches from Z factory, many watch fans who want a super clone of dress watch from IWC will think of this watch by ZF, especially the IW500705, which was one of the best sellers in replica watch field in the past. Actually you may not know one thing, the movement in the IW500705 replica IWC is developed by APS factory, not ZF, but this replica watch was brought to be a big boom by ZF. Now the new Portuguese from APS factory has several models, I will take this IW501702 as an example, to see how good it is.

It is a good replica, but not too good, there are some obvious flaws, I think Z factory will solve these shortcomings next, or they won’t make these new Portuguese watches, who knows, after all Z factory and APS factory have a too good brothership.

First, the movement inside the replica is not a super clone IWC movement, it is developed on the basis of a specific Dandong movement, but there are extra plates added on the top, and the jewels on the movement plates have slight color difference with that on genuine movement, by the way, if you wind the watch, check the movement through the sapphire crystal back, some gears not working. These things are ok for most buyers, but APS factory made another mistake, genuine movement is 52011, APS did not change, still engraved 52010 on the plate.

Another flaw on the replica is its dial color, which looks slightly yellowish, the genuine watch is pure white, the color difference is subtle, but I can notice it if check carefully. I certainly believe that Z factory will improve this detail if they are going to make the replica.

The specification of the replica:

Movement: Based on a Dandong movement, added with extra plates and decorated to make it look like IWC 52011, but the movement plate is engraved with 52010.

Case: 316F stainless steel, 42mmx13.2mm, slightly thinner than the old Portuguese model

Crystal: Sapphire, a bit domed on the edge

Dial: Tiny color difference, with a working power reserve indicator, small seconds at 9 o’clock

Bracelet: Blue alligator leather strap, better genuine alligator leather band can be ordered
