Hi Stuart, thank you so much for the compliment. i made two of these, one for me, the other sold a while ago. I have some gilt dials for vintage subs though. best, Marco

Thanks for posting this. This is amazing. Keep these coming! I've had great luck with ZF (quality control) in the past, but APS looks real good here.

Mods, I think this has been asked before, but does the Forum software support a toggle between a LIGHT/DARK Mode. While "Dark Mode" became all the rage 5yrs ago-- more and more studies are showing it is awful for aging eyes/older folks. I for one am struggling to read longer posts here with my vision situation. The researchers put this down to the fact that when we look at a bright background, our pupils constrict and increase acuity while scanning text. When looking at a black background, the opposite effect occurs, and dilated pupils make it harder to focus on the text. Much appreciated if this feature could be explored. Toggling to Dark Mode for those reading in bed might be nice, but then again this isn't a 'feed' and should encourage more contributions. Dark mode encourages consumption, not necessarily contribution 🤔 I can change arbitrary backdrops, but there isn't even a basic white to get the pupils to constrict... -Thanks!

Hello everyone, this is Steve and I'm back. Please do not mind my rambling, and in case some of you have not seen it yet, I will state once again our newest website and email address: Our new website: www.theonewatches.ru Our new Email : service@vip.theonewatches.ru Thought we have Thousands of favorites,And Audemars Piguet must will catch your eyes due to its its noble name and broke out traditional but distinctive looks.hard to prevent falling in love with it. Though in replica market, its sale volume is far less than the rolex hot sell models, its at least on the first echelon of the top replica. Since many friends love him, choosed him and compared him, then how can i ignore him, i will must do this comparasion whatever how busy and tired, i cannot be lazy on it. otherwise you guys will thought i dont love him. Our previous is comparasion, this time i would rather to call it "The Big Melle" Not only are there many contestants, but you guys can also see there are many differents from the above side-by-side comparison picture. so melle will be more suitable. Bear the brunt, the two ace player,ZF and APSF must be invloved. Then we select the IPF and MP,Furthermore,i included the SW dial and Follow up instal it into one of ZF. As the saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.lets see Whose royal bloodline is the purest? and who will win and laught at the last after this comparasion. Front dial view Light dial view Natural dial view With gen Side-by-side comparison view In this era of looking at faces, Being good-looking is certainly an advantage, but on the replica, The color of the dial is obviously the top priority . however while the color difference is inevitable and everyone is different, this will become less important instead. Comparatively speaking, ZF, APS and MP will be better, at least they are the blue, and what's your opinion , or while more considerate the dial color, which factory will you prefer? IPF and SW was a little bit Outrageous, IPF is more Purple tint, SW is more black tint We could see the gen dial with the sunburst effect, ZF, APS, IP all not obvious, the MP and SW on this part are more outstanding, their Radial patterns are very strong. Dial details We must to say, for the AP Tapisserite pattern dial, replica market did a good job, Under such a high-definition lens, the factories didnt have obvious defects. its dotted texture on the bottom of the dial and the texture on the checkered surface are all synchronized with Gen. But it seems the small edge on the small checkered surface are more a little bit sleek, and SW is more shape and square, But overall i think on the checkered dial part, APS and MP are better. Minute marker circle view Lets enlarge the pictures, the GEN minute markes circle in the surface shows circular texture, APS and SW processed Synchronizly, other three factories are just Omitted this step, on the white mimeograph scale, In terms of overall shape and fullness, ZF and SW are better on this part. AP logo and markers view IP factory AP logo is more sleek, second is the SW, this actually makes the difference with the gen,and other three factories didnt have this difference, look carefully, ZF edge chamfer are more closer to Gen. Furthermore, IPF sticker scale also have something wrong on its shape, the upper and lower ends are obviously pointed, SW its upper and lower edges are also a bit wider. Other three factorires follow the gen, its shape and length are correct, there is no need to distinguish which one is good and which one is bad, at least i cannot find the differnce. Luminous filling part, except the MP has a certain graininess, other factory are too smooth, and on the color part, MP are also more closer to gen, second is APS and SW, ZF and IPF is more cream white, we could see the GEN is cool white Mimeographed view In terms of comprehensive fullness and regularity, ZF mimeograph process control is the best, second is the APS and MP, IPF is more thin,looks a little bit blur, actually the SW has a good three-dimensional sense, but its word has obvious cracking defects on 6 clock, Maybe it's just an individual quality issue Calendar window view All good on its shape, but under compared, ZF and MP are better, APS a little bit dirty, also maybe just individual case, it doesn't matter, IPF and SW was a little bit Strange, its window frame obvious is black. Lume view I took a look carefully,it seems a little bit difference with the gen lume colors, the GEN green is more brighter, all replica are all a little bit darker blue, this may also be related to light source absorption, but it doesnt matter, it is all green colors, the slightly difference on this part wont make a practical impact. Bezel view Lets looked at the picture 1, Pay attention to the distance between the bezel and the upper edge of the case , the IPF obviously are too wider, and there is no problem with the other three factories.they have the same distance with the Gen one. Bezel screws View The Gen screws have sunk significantly, top part lower than bezel, factories also synchronize with this part, and relatively,the APS one is most sinking Crystal side view Due to there is a slightly difference in the shooting angle, checked the crystal side view height from the Compared pictures,it will feel some factories a little bit lower, while some a little bit higher, but inn fact,the side height of the crystal is almost the same as Gen, didnt have an obvious height difference. Central Axial View We had saw a lot of axial of rolex one, this is my first time to see a so clear and close view of the Ap Centre Axial , The GEN use a solid central axis, its solid round axial size is relatively large, but all the replicas are not so good, only the ZF had Synchronized the solid center axis,thought the sleeves had a weld marks there, but from whatever its front or side view, the overall shape is already very close to GEN. Calender View Here we didn't talk much on whether the calendar position sit centred or not, after all, asked for a perfect date position is too strict and hard for a replica one, i think it was acceptable only there is no obvious off. Regards for the calendar numbers, IPF Is not full enough, the other three factories do a pretty good job. Crown side view The AP Hexagonal crown shape looks handsome,but a little bit tough and Sting on your fingers when wind， There are no problem on the shapes, And the IPF’S AP logo didnt engraved deep enough, it will look less clear and three-dimensional than other factories. Case side view Case shape are all consistent with the Gen,no obvious defect there, The most intuitive thing is to rely on data to reveal, Let’s look at the data comparison at the end of article.and know who’s case is the most accurate restoration. Endlink view The GEN end link is slightly flexible to move around, ZF has the greatest range of motion,even larger than the GEN, this is a good thing, after all, it will more fits the wrist , The other three factories are similar with each other, all can move but not too much motion. Back base case view Here would explain to all, the screws on the back case are arranged irregularly after tightening, So does the GEN, at the same time, all the screws will lower than the back case, which is the case in all the factories. IPF and MP its engraving was deficiency or not clearly, the main reason is his background texture are not the black color, so the difference is huge compared to Gen. Bracelet and buckle details view The AP bracelet due to its style structure will feel a little bit tough and scratchy on hands while compared to other brand bracelet, The GEN Polished better on the chamfer,but still a little bit scratchy,and the replicas are definitely cannot be at as good as the gen, they will be more scratchy,this is understandable, so its good for everybody knows that, dont thought it was due to the difference batches issue or bad bracelet quality. Movement view Ap Replica market, the Royal Oak 15500 is most popular one, this is due to the replica market has a superclone SA4130, After all with the advantage of the superclone movement, though the model itself not restored perfectly, At least the stability of the movement can be guaranteed,That is why it will be given priority by everyone. ZF, APS, IP all adopt the SA4130, so they are similar on price, ZF and APS was a little bit expensive, After all,on this comparison, IPF its details are nferior to ZF and APS, While the MP takes the affordable policy.in order to control the cost and lower the sell price, it used the A4302 movement( decorated based on the 9015 to copy the gen). Data comparison chart Note: All watches are measured in a clamped state, and there may be errors due to the slight deviation of the position of the caliper. Well, today's post is here, thank you guys for watching. If there are any mistakes, please correct me. If there is anything else I overlooked, you can put it up, and I will try my best to complete it. Welcome to comment and exchange! I will continue to bring you more detailed comparisons between replica watches and GEN’s. And it is also for you to choose the favorite models conveniently. Illustration: Some photos deviate from the real object due to the light source. For details, please refer to the content. The size of the comparison picture is relatively large, you can download it and enlarge it for comparison. Thanks. There is no perfect replica, only the one you prefer.

Bumping this old post because I find swaps/parts interchange fascinating. As 1520/30/60/70 calibers and parts become harder to come by and service... If there is a chance a 3035/3000 caliber could interchange, we could have GEN Rolex powered vintage models (4 Digit) with a generation bump internally. In recent months/years I have come across the following: A 1675/3 with a 3075 - according to the owner "the only thing different was the case-back, essentially a 16570 caseback" Similar to above, a reference to the LAST 1680's (1680/3) Subs having 3035's. [So guessing a 1680 with 16800 caseback] This raises the following questions with 1675, 1680, 1655: Can we assume the stem heights/alignment are same between rehaut and tube? (maybe not in an OPD/DJ as automatica states above 🤔) Can we assume the added millimeter 3035/75 is on the back side auto-winding works? That the interchange/swap would only require a deeper caseback-- caseback from 16800, or AM-Displayback (which is the same as 16700/16750) + HANDS Last question: What are the hand size difference between 1030 | 15xx | 30xx?

@madasbootThose Burford dial recreations looks amazing. As someone who spent many hours drawing one of those on CAD, I can really appreciate the fantastic attention to detail! Alas, I never made my dial. Do you still have one available? If so, I'd be very interested. All the best, Stuart

will RWI, it has been ages since I logged in

I have never had the various Asian 413x movements in front of me to do a comparison, so I cannot answer your question. My guess is that no one else on RWG has either. However, I am fairly certain that someone on RWI, the most popular rep site, probably has such a comparison.

Click me

woo! he was about reluming 2 dials for me Panerai Pre V dials could you be kind to refer me someonelse was talented than him to do so ?

Hello all. has anyone here purchased this one already. I wonder how reliable is or is it the sameas SH4130. Also, what is different between A4131 and SH4131 movements is one better that the other? Thanks

Yes. is all good, it looks like the factories were hit hard. I was just saying is a long wait and he even offered a refund, I have done business with him since 2007.

He was near impossible to contact before he retired about ten years ago

Hi Folks How i can contact The Zigmeister I have a project that are on ice since +10 years (relume project)

Have you chased him?

Just a heads up. I order on April 16 and I am still waiting for QC pictures. I never had problems before with him after 5 watches purchased since 2007.

Nice! What are the specs?
