Richard Mille has been very hot in recent years, even in the replica watch field, more factories now participate in the production of replicas Richard Mille, in the past, only KV made some Richard Mille replicas and the quality is not too good, but now, more factories are willing to spend more money in manufacturing super clone Richard Mille with much better quality, like ZF, APS and BBR, they are competing against each other to fight for the market share, especially APS, they act very fast. And in the market, there are also other workrooms that are doing big contribution to the development of replicas Richard Mille, they are not factories but opened by individuals, they can make better quality Richard Mille replicas than those factories, and for some Richard Mille new models, these workrooms are the first to publish the super clones, much faster than those factories. This phenomenon reminds me of the studies and researches made on the Panerai PAM 111, PAM 005 and PAM 127 more than ten years ago.
Both APS and ZF have made the RM055, but they do not have this grey ceramic model, Z Factory just announced that they will produce this grey one, but we still need to wait. This RM055 grey ceramic watch is not made by APS or ZF, it is a high-end custom-made one with all details 1:1 cloned from the original watch, and then being equipped with a vaucher movement. I have no idea about the vaucher movement, is it a real Swiss movement or still a Chinese copied movement? I saw many reviewers said the Richard Mille with vaucher movement is the best copy in this industry. The whole watch has a weight of 74 grams. Both APS and ZF are using the clone RMUL2 movement in the RM055. Is vaucher movement a really better movement than the clone RMUL2? This grey RM055 really looks nice. But its price is also very high. Any way, you can consider to buy the ZF version later, after all, ZF has improved the movement frame finish on the dial, the clone RMUL2 also looks very authentic. There are a large amount of watch fans buying such type of custom-made high-end replica Richard Mille watches, if the movement does not have issues in future, they are worth trying.
The latest new watch made by VS Factory, which is well known for making the best Panerai replicas, those Submersible watches published in recent three years are truly the highlight of brand Panerai, this PAM 1518 also attracts me. Full stainless steel case, grainy dial and camouflage rubber band, the watch is exactly made for tough guy, it is an ideal choice for people who like a tough military watch.
The case is made with solid 316L stainless steel and has brushing finish, same finish is on the bezel, crown bridge and lugs, the case is 44mm in diameter, a very big watch, which is not suitable for every man. Most Panerai watches look big, especially the Luminor models with crown bridge, fortunately there are also good quality replicas of Panerai in 42mm and 40mm. The weight of the PAM 1518 replica is about 167grams, it is a bit heavy, VS also has published another forged carbon PAM 1513 at the same time, the weight is 135 grams.
The dial looks grey on the center and darker around, it gives the wearer a sanded feeling. There is no date window on the PAM 1518. Hour markers, hour hand and minute hand have beige luminous material being applied, the small-second subdial at 9 o’clock looks like a compass, which has a smooth-moving light yellow small hand.
On the solid case back, there is Navy Seals logo being engraved. Behind the back, there is a super clone P.900 automatic movement inside. On this replica, when I pull out the crown to the first clicking position, and rotate the crown, only the hour hand moves, but this watch does not have date function, I do not know if this is the same adjusting on the genuine watch.
The band is camouflage cloth on the outside and it is waterproof, the other side that contacts your skin is black rubber. Do you like this military-style watch?
Having not seen new models coming from Z Factory for a long time, today, I am going to show you two new watches from them, both are Richard Mille RM061, which are made with ceramic and titanium, the green color and yellow color look very eye-catching on both watches, in head of APS, Z Factory is the first watch maker to make them.
There are three groups that making Richard Mille replicas in the market, the first is those factories that make cheap replicas RM, the second group includes those watch makers, such as KV, Z, APS, BBR, etc., the third group is those departments that can do customized works on the high-end super clone RM to make them better. My advice is do not buy cheap ones, and do not spend too much on a customized Richard Mille. Some persons in the market doing customized works on the replica Richard Mille, but they charge a big money, and those factories are continuing to improve the quality of the existed Richard Mille watches, so there is no need to pay extra for a customized RM.
We are witnessing the great progress in the watch-making of Richard Mille replicas, especially in recent two years, improvements in movements and materials have been made. To give you my honest suggestion, for RM35-01, BBR version is a better choice. For RM35-02, Z Factory makes the best one. For RM055, go with APS Factory. APS Factory has been very active in cloning Richard Mille area recently, every time when APS publishes a new watch, they will also do an immediate and strong promotion at the same time, every distributor will promote the new model in wechat moment and social platforms, this is creating an an illusion that APS has the best RM, I have this impression before, but now I find I was wrong, even the new model, which is being claimed to be very perfect by them, still not good. There is a very interesting thing, Z Factory was busy developing new models before, they always published new watches before APS, but they have slowed down every thing since last year, now APS Factory acted faster, but too fast that the new models they published recently have some obvious flaws, that’s not good.
According to the experience of making Richard Mille in the past, Z Factory made several improvements on the new RM61, the biggest one is the finish on the frames of the dial, it does not look that bright now, because Z Factory uses matt finish on the titanium frame. The case of both watches is irregularly shaped, on the crown side, it is 16.08mm in thickness, and 50.3mm from top to bottom. On the other side, the case is 13.7mm in thickness, from top to bottom, the height is 47mm. In the middle, the case is titanium made. The entire watch has a weight of about 101.5 grams. Both watches are equipped with a super clone RMUL2 movement, that’s the best clone RM movement in our market, the rubber band is also very comfortable and dust-proof.
What was the most popular Rolex watch in the past 2024? Day-Date must be one. They have been upgraded, especially the weight, also the movement becomes better. So many factories are making super clone Rolex Day-Date, but too many choices now, are you confused? I do not know how to recommend when people asking for a Day-Date, the Day-Date made by each factory has their selling points, sometimes it is hard for me to decide which factory to choose from.
For the Day-Date with cheapest price, you can choose from GM. THB is very hot, their Day-Date 40mm models and lady 31mm Datejust currently are very hot. However, THB only has 40mm Day-Date, no 36mm. The latest version of THB Day-Date has a weight of over 190 grams, but the bracelet has been added with extra links to increase weight, so the bracelet is too long for a lot of people, if you do not have a big wrist, you need to remove a lot of links, that will be a waste of money. After all, among these watch makers, the Day-Date from THB has the most expensive prices.
QF, many people thought this is a new factory, actually it is owned by GM. QF Day-Date is a bit cheaper than the one from THB, they have 40mm and 36mm options. QF Day-Date is heavy because they use tungsten steel and also adds more links on the bracelet. Check the pictures of the QF Day-Date below, it is a 36mm Day-Date, the weight is 138.2 grams, yes, the 36mm model is lighter, but the 40mm Day-Date can achieve 184 grams. On the bracelet, there is a sticker with “QF Gain Weight” words. The dial on the THB Day-Date below is green, which looks like a better fit for the rose gold than the other green on the 36mm QF Day-Date. Both QF and THB use a super clone 3255 movement that comes from Shanghai. I would like the rose gold Day-Date made by QF, the rose gold looks more authentic than that on the THB.
Now, these watches have become more and more expensive in recent years, indeed, the watch-making technology has been greatly improved and these watches are becoming better and better, but is it really worth to spend more than 800 US Dollars on such a replica watch? And it still has flaws, even the best ones like Daytona and Submariner, whether made by Clean or VS, they are not perfect, we can find flaws on them. Some cheap replicas can work accurately for years, but some super clones may broken or have issues within several weeks after receiving, that’s the truth.
For this AP watch we are going to discuss today, APS Factory has had a plan to develop its 4401 movement since 2023, after two years of researching and development, this super clone 4401 finally came out in January of 2025, this is the first chronograph movement that has a flyback feature in this industry, it is more complex than the DD4130 movement developed by Noob before, but I can not say this 4401 is more durable and stable than the Dandong 4130, the stability and durability of 4401 still need to be tested by time. Dandong 4130 is the most stable chrono movement used in replica watches, it often does not have issues.
For the AP 26240, APS has four stainless steel models and one black ceramic model in stock, the rose gold models still need to wait. The four stainless steel models have white dial, black dial, blue dial and green dial options. If you want one, I only suggest you buy the one with white dial or black dial, because the 26240 with blue dial or green dial has color difference. Surely APS will improve this in future. And you do not need to pay extra money to replace the dial, I see some dealers have already offered the dial replacing service, no need.
The polishing and brushing finish on the case and bracelet is super, the checkers on the dial and the patterns on each checker are 1:1 clone of that on genuine, with their experience in making the AP 15500, APS can make a great dial for the 26240. I took a lot of pictures of its dial, please check them below, could you please find any flaws?
There are some obvious flaws you can easily find on the APS 26240, for example, the screws is on the same horizon line as the face of the bezel, they should be slightly sunkened. The end link of the braclet that connects the case is not too flexible. The engravings on the movement plates are not deep, and the gold tone of the auto rotor is not correct, that’s understandable because the rotor is not solid gold made.
For this AP 26240, you do not need to be so hurry to buy it, after more reviews coming out, then you can make a decision on which one to buy. Like on the 15500 and 15407, APS will certainly make improvements on their 26240 in next months. By the way, the 26240 has a thickness of 12.4mm and has a weight of 170.7 grams.
This watch has been in our market for years, and it is still very hot. APS Factory just published the new Portuguese 7 Days models several months ago, but not many people are interested in, some of these new Portuguese replicas have color difference, so I still suggest you buy the old Portuguese 7 Days from Z Factory, the latest version has come to V5. APS, which is the brother of Z Factory, also made these old Portuguese 7 Days watches, but they are selling these watches under another name called “AZ”, compared with the V5 version from Z Factory, the one made by AZ is also good, but not as good as the one made by Z Factory. The movement used in the ZF Portuguese is actually developed by APS Factory, so I am very curious that why APS did not make a better one than ZF, the biggest reason is that the ZF Portuguese has been highly recognized in this industry, whatever APS will do is not helpful. So, that’s the reason why APS is so urgent to produce the new Portuguese, but they did not make them good.
Back to the V5 Portuguese 7 Days from ZF, they have several color options, the most popular one is the stainless steel one with white dial and blue leather strap. The leather band looks like black, but it is indeed blue.
The dial has beautiful flame hands and hour markers, that is a major reason why people love this one in white dial. The one made by AZ, the color of the hand is not that accurate. The tip end of the second hand is slightly arched because need to fit the domed sapphire crystal. The date window set at 6 o’clock has a laddered design. The small dial at 3 o’clock is displaying the remaining power of the movement, once being fully wound, the small hand will point at number “7”. However, the replica watch does not have 7-day power reserve, it can continuously work about 3 to 4 days after giving a full winding. By the way, the watch has a case diameter of 42mm, the thickness is about 14.6mm if measuring from the top domed part. Measuring from the edge of the crystal, it is 13.4mm in thickness.
The band is calfskin leather, you can also request a genuine aligator leather band but its price will be much higher. The genuine aligator leather band can be customized in our market, and it indeed feels more comfortable.
This Daytona is one of the best-selling replica Rolex watches in the past 2024, otherwise APS and Clean would not make the replica of this watch immediately after QF, APS version has been available for several months, now we are expecting to see the quality of the Clean version. Since 2023, many watch readers here have told me that they wanted a factory to make the replicas of Rolex Daytona with see-through crystal back, then Q Factory made the ice blue Daytona 126506 with 4131 in July, 2024, later their Le Mans Daytona 126529 came out, some watch fans bought the replica Le Mans Daytona 126529 from Q Factory, but the first version has an obvious flaw, which is the hour-chronograph counter set at 9 o’clock is actually 12 hours, not 24 hours. The movement inside in first version is actually a clone 4131, not real clone 4132, however, people still bought this replica because it is really a beauty.
Last time, Q Factory published the latest edition of this replica Le Mans Daytona, there are two versions, V8 and V9. V8 is a a version with regular weight, which has 142 grams, V9 is a gain weight version with about 175 grams. Both have stainless steel and yellow gold models. I only recommend the stainless steel one, the yellow gold model has color difference, seeing from the pictures below, the golden tone looks a bit weird.
On this latest version, there are two big improvements Q Factory has made. First, the movement. Now the replica uses a real clone 4132 movement that can offer a real 24-hour chronograph counter function at 9 o’clock, by the way, the movement is also known as Shanghai 4132, only Q Factory has it. I guess that Clean will also use this movement in their Le Mans 24 Hours Daytona that will be published soon. Second, the sunburst finish on the dial, on this V8 edition, we can see slight sunburst finish on the dial, not obvious, but it is better than the only pure black of previous versions.
My advice is you can buy the V8 edition, V9 is too expensive, no need to pay more to get it because V9 is added with two extra links to gain weight. But if you have a big wrist size, V9 is good, you do not need to pay extra money to get extra links and install by yourself.
The cheap Rolex replicas are being sold much better than those super clones, but here we only talk about these super clone Rolex. In this best-seller list, most of the watches are made by Clean and VS, both watch makers almost occupy the entire market share in Rolex field, and in 2024, they had a stronger competiton ever than before, especially in Daytona, the result is VS Factory has a trend of catch up with Clean, this should be thanks to the development of their Dandong 4131 movement in the new 12xxxx series Daytona. Now, let us see what Rolex watches will come in this list.
1.Clean GMT-Master II 126710 Pepsi V3
The GMT-Master II 126710 Pepsi with blue and red ceramic bezel has a super clone in the market, currently both AR Factory and Clean Factory make this replica, both have a high quality, but Clean has the Dandong 3285 movement inside, which is the biggest advantage, this movement is only used by Clean. So I always say Clean is the best source to get a super clone GMT-Master II Rolex, do not buy the heavy version of GMT-Master II in the market, price is high and not worth. The Pepsi GMT has two types of bracelet, Oyster and Jubilee.
2.VS Daytona 126500
The new Daytona from VS Factory, equipped with super clone Dandong 4131 movement, every one said it is a better movement than the Shanghai 4131 used in Clean, actually the Dandong 4131 indeed has a better decoration on the movement plates and auto rotor. Besides, this Daytona from VS Factory is sold at a cheaper price than Clean, I think it will be more popular than the Clean 4131 Daytona in 2025.
3.Clean Daytona Grey with Rubber Band
For the Daytona replicas with rubber band, this one is the best made. Clean Factory offers severl length combined option for the rubber band on that Daytona, customers can order according to their wrist size. For this Daytona, I do not think it still needs to be further improved. It is not necessary to buy the heavy version from APS or Gold Factory.
4.Clean Submariner 126610LV
For beginners who just entered this industry, if they want to buy their first replica Rolex, it is always a good idea to choose one from Submariner, Daytona and Datejust. This green Submariner is made by both Clean and VS, both have their own advantages, for the green ceramic bezel, choosing from Clean will not be a wrong decision. We all know that Clean was well-known for making the best green ceramic in the past.
5.Clean GMT-Master II Batgirl
With jubilee bracelet, the GMT-Master II with black and blue ceramic bezel is known as Batgirl. The replica made by Clean is considered to be the best in the market. The case is measured to be 40mm in diameter and only 12mm in thickness, which is the same as that of genuine watch. With Dandong 3285 movement, making this watch very stable and last for years.
6.THB Day-Date 40mm
This is the increased weight version of Day-Date replica Rolex watch, I recommend GM and THB. GM has price advantage, purchasing GM V3 is more cost-efficient, while THB Factory really has more amazing case finish and bracelet finish. The movement super clone 3255 from THB is also a big selling point.
7.Clean or VS Datejust
Almost all Datejust from Clean and VS are sold very well, you must have reasons whether you choose from Clean or VS, and not wrong. In the video, could you tell which one is from Clean? It is hard if you do not check their dial carefully.
8.GMT-Master II with meteorite dial
C+ Factory makes this watch, with a real meteorite dial and uses Shanghai 3285 movement. The meteorite element was used on Datejust, GMT-Master II and Daytona in 2024, and it was very hot, especially this GMT-Master II, many watch fans love it with meteorite dial. Some dealers also got a GMT-Master II pepsi from Clean Factory and a meteorite dial from a watch-part factory, then replacing the dial, this is better, because the Dandong 3285 in Clean GMT is worth spending more money.
9.Le Mans Daytona
This Daytona seemed to be very hot in the past 2024, Q is the first factory to make it, after that, APS produced, and just a few days ago, Clean Factory announced that they will also make it. Currently QF version is the best. However, all of them have one common flaw, which is the dial is not sunburst, many watch fans are still seeking for the one with sunburst finish.
10.Sea-Dweller Single Red
The best one should be made by Clean and VS. Before Clean making a further improvement on this watch in 2024, which is also the He Valve improvement, I think every one will choose the VS version because of its super 3235 movement. Like the Submariner, on this 43mm Sea-Dwller, I think there will be no improvements made in future.
For people who want to buy a super clone Rolex, I want my suggestion to be more simple, please follow:
To buy black Submariner, whether 40mm or 41mm, please buy from VS.
To buy green Submariner, whether 40mm or 41mm, please buy from Clean.
To buy 11xxxx series Daytona, please directly buy from Clean.
OME, did you hear this factory before? It is my first time to know this watch maker, according to my experience, in a high probability OME is not a factory, it is a name somebody wants to use to sell custom-made watches in the market. Before, only PP Factory makes the best replica Nautilus 5712, which uses a super clone 240 movement, now I am afraid that some people will go to buy this one from OME, which is somebody in the market, he got all watch components of Nautilus 5712 including the movement from PP Factory, and then do some custom-made works on the watch to make it look better, I must admit this is a great idea, same thing can be done on Nautilus 5711, Aquanaut and other watches.
What improvements have been made on this OME Nautilus 5712? First, it is the dial, the color is closer to that of genuine watch. Check the dial at different angles, we can see different colors, you may see grey with a bit black at a certain angle, but purplish blue at another angle. The second improvement on the dial is the axis of central hands-set and small hands is solid made. The third dial improvement was made on the moon phase indicator, this is the biggest and most important upgrade I think, now it looks more solid and three-dimensional than that on the PPF 5712.
The case also has an important upgrade, the lugs shape is modded to be more correct.
The movement supplies the same functions as the 240 movement used in PPF 5712, so I think OME just got the same movement from PP Factory, but the engravings on the movement plates looks deeper, the golden tone of the micro rotor looks closer to that of genuine Calibre.
After making these improvements, OME sells this replica at a higher price than PP Factory, but not too high.
To make sure the Nautilus 5712 you are buying has the correct 240 movement, please be sure to let your dealer to do a test, that is pulling out the crown and rotate it to wind, if the small hand on the power reserve indicator at 10 o’clock can move forward to the number “48”, then you are buying the right version, or someone is selling you a cheap replica.
By the way, the moon phase disc will move a little bit every day, just like the genuine watch, it turns a full circle per month, the moon phase can be adjusted by the button set at 5 o’clock. The date display can be adjusted through the button at 7 o’clock.
Since the first heavy Rolex Day-Date from GM Factory, there have been a lot of watch factories making replicas of heavy Rolex Day-Date in recent two years, the competition in this field is crazy, every watch factory also claims that their Day-Date is the best one in the market, and the prices are more and more expensive. As customers, we are very confused, it is really worth to spend a big money on a heavy Day-Date replica Rolex watch? Which watch maker we should choose from?
Today, I will choose the Day-Date from three watch makers including GM, THB and CY as examples, to do a basic review on each, and tell you which one to choose from.
First, it is GM V3 edition. GM is the first factory that made heavy Day-Date Rolex watch in the market, in 2022, GM factory published the first heavy Day-Date Rolex, now in the market, there are two versions in stock from GM, V3 and V5. The following two pictures showing you the V3 Day-Date from GM. I think this is the Day-Date you should choose. The reasons? Not expensive and finish is good. V3 usually has a weight of 175 grams to 178 grams, which is still different from the weight of genuine Rolex, even not closer, but they are not that expensive like THB and CY. About V5 edition, GM sells this watch under a new name “QF”, absolutely what they did this is to get more easy money, upon V3, they only added two extra links, so the V5 has a much longer bracelet, but price is higher. I do not think it is necessary to choose V5, because V3 already has a longer bracelet.
The following two pictures show you the Day-Date from THB factory. It has the bracelet that is the same length as that of GM V5, but THB Day-Date is about 195 grams, while GM V5 is about 186 grams. THB uses a super clone 3255 movement, which seems to become the main selling point, but I do not think there is a big difference between the GM 3255 and theirs.
Last, it is the Day-Date produced by CY. I totally not recommend this one, it is too expensive, I know THB already has a very high price, which is very close to that of Daytona, but the price of Day-Date made by CY is more expensive than THB, this is crazy. CY factory found a strange solution to gain weight, they make the links on the bracelet thicker, I measured the links, each is about 0.3mm thicker than the one on GM. This is not good.
My advice for beginner is just choosing the V3 Day-Date from GM, with clone ETA 2836 movement. It has a more reasonable price, GM has been in this industry for years, the finish is acceptable.
