In addition to the popular models 15400 and 15500, the Royal Oak Offshore Diver 15707 has also been a top-selling replica from Audemars Piguet in recent years. J12 factory was renowned for producing the finest replicas of the AP 15707, and owning one was considered a stroke of luck as the factory ceased operations years ago, leaving its replicas unmatched in quality of case and bracelet. However, a recent development in the market has brought forth a new contender: the AP 15707 replica by APS factory, which now stands as the pinnacle of quality.

APS factory, known for its long-standing presence in crafting Audemars Piguet replicas such as the 15400 and 15500 models, has made significant contributions to the industry, including the development of the clone 3120 movement used by Z Factory and the 52010 movement utilized in ZF’s Portuguese 7 Days. Despite receiving little recognition, APS’s impact on the replica watch market is undeniable.

The latest offering from APS, the 15707 replica, is available in black and white variants, both crafted with genuine ceramic and powered by the latest super clone 3120 movement. The black model showcases prominent brushing on the ceramic case and bezel, accentuated by high-gloss polished screws. While the case closely mirrors the original in a 1:1 ratio, it remains slightly thicker due to the solid ceramic construction, resulting in a substantial weight.

Distinctive features include a crown positioned at 10 o’clock, which rotates to adjust the inner diving bezel, and another at 3 o’clock for time and date adjustments. Though the dial is satisfactory, differences in lattice size and spacing set it apart from the genuine article. While ZF may offer the closest replication of genuine lattice patterns, subtle distinctions remain upon closer examination.

Notably, the lume on the replica watches are robust, akin to the longevity of genuine dial lume, provided the 1:1 replica watch absorbs sufficient sunlight during the day. Equipped with a clone 3120 automatic movement, regarded as the best in the market, APS has refined this movement through two iterations, ensuring exceptional accuracy and stability. This movement is also employed in APS’s 15400 and by ZF, with no reported issues regarding its quality.

Regarding the Royal Oak Diver watch replica, it once enjoyed significant popularity, but its appeal has waned over time. Whether referring to the Royal Oak Diver models 15703 or 15710, JF was renowned for producing top-notch replicas of these models. JF had even upgraded them to the latest V10 edition. However, with the closure of the JF manufacturer, super clones of the 15710 and 15703 became scarce until ZF took on the task of crafting replicas.

Interestingly, it appears that people now show greater recognition for other Royal Oak watches from ZF, such as the 15400 and 15500. Fortunately, the APS factory has emerged as a formidable player in the field. Following in the footsteps of JF, APS is now the sole factory with the capability to research and develop superior movements for AP replicas. The 3120 movement from APS stands out as the best clone 3120 movement used in their Royal Oak 15400.

Moreover, APS factory introduced the V2 edition of the replica Audemars Piguet in July, marking a positive development in the market. This release is noteworthy as it positions APS as the sole provider of the super clone 15710 in our current market landscape.

Now, back to the new Royal Oak Diver watch 15720, both ZF and APS do not make the replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Diver 15720, now if you want to get a good replica 15720, there are two options, BF and IPF, between the two, IPF is better. The photos I shared in this post are from IPF. About this factory, I do not know the meaning of its name “IP”. The 15720 replica from IPF has four color options, black, grey, green and blue, they all good, especially when I see its movement that is modified on basis of Japanese Miyota 9015, I think the quality of the replica won’t be bad. IP factory makes the 15720 with solid stainless steel that is brushed, the case has a diameter of 42mm and thickness is up to 14.2mm. The black bezel uses ceramic material, which is vertically brushed on the front, while being polished on the edge of the bezel. The case of AP is the most angular one I have ever seen, it is difficult to be replicated especially when needed to be done 1:1 as original, the big AP case, if not finished well, it is easy to notice the difference, I really like the case on AP made by JF, they always made the most beautiful case before.

The dial layout of the 15720 appears more compact compared to the 15710, although personally, I prefer the dial style of the 15710. On the 15720’s dial, the hour markers are wider and generously applied with luminous material, resulting in a stronger lume effect in low-light conditions. The inner bezel showcases a yellow diving stripe with yellow numeral markers, contributing to improved readability on the black dial.

Examining the movement through the crystal back, one can observe golden engravings on the plates and a prominent AP logo on the skeleton rotor. The IP factory invested time and effort in modifying the movement, presenting a commendable clone 4308. The movement is known for its stability, ensuring minimal issues during regular wear. However, it’s worth noting that there is still a noticeable gap between this clone 4308 and a super clone.

Looking ahead, it is anticipated that both APS and ZF will produce replicas of the 15720 in the future. However, this is not expected to happen in 2022; rather, it might be a development to look forward to in the second half of 2023.
