Bokey TimeHello everyone, I am Bokey. In this issue, I will explain to you the newly upgraded V3 ultimate version of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450st gray dial. This one has a diameter of 37mm and is more suitable for small wrists. It can also be paired with 15400 as a couple’s watch. This time, the APS factory mainly upgraded the dial color and square details. Now, I will explain in detail one by one through the actual shooting details of Bokey.
First, answer a question that many watch enthusiasts are concerned about. Is the APS factory version V3 or version V-something? Regarding this version issue, Bokey has also talked about it countless times. Whether it is the APS factory or other large factories, before upgrading the version, they will definitely sell out the inventory of the old version before making an upgrade. And after the upgrade, the old version is also eliminated. There is no problem of different versions of the same factory.
Back to the 15450 watch of APS factory. This time, the dial upgrade of APS factory is relatively obvious. Whether it is the workmanship of the square or the color adjustment, it is very close to the original effect. Including its pointer details, it is also relatively in place.
Take a close look at his workmanship.
The transition of radial lines is very natural and at the same time has a little gradient effect.
The background color of the calendar has the same frosted texture as the original. The calendar font is centered and has an ink feel at the same time, that is, the effect is relatively three-dimensional.
The font on the dial has a strong oil pressure feel, the scales are sharply angular, and at the same time, the mirror polishing is relatively clean.
The circle mouth is delicately brushed, and it is colorful under the light. The eight hexagonal screws also have a sunken treatment.
The side of the case is treated with a brushed process. The AP lettering on the crown is slightly thinner than that of the original.
The size data is all the same as the original. The thickness is 9.7 millimeters, the dial diameter is 37 millimeters, and the weight is 140 grams.
The strap drawing process of the ultimate version of APS factory’s 15450 is more refined. The drawing is straight, providing a more comfortable wearing and visual experience.
The connection between the watch strap and the watch case is also treated with movable end pieces.
Double-press folding buckle, very convenient to wear. There is also the brand name “AP” in English on both sides inside the buckle.
The back is a see-through design. The middle is also made of sapphire glass. The lettering on the entire back cover is relatively deep. In terms of the movement, it uses the Shanghai 3120 integrated movement. The entire structural construction is based on the original restoration. It is no longer the structure of 9015 plus a fake deck. This can be verified by manual winding. For a fake deck, its gears will not operate. However, for the APS factory’s 3120 integrated movement, you can see the real operation process of all gears. Except that the polishing is slightly inferior to the original, the stability and accuracy of this movement are very good.
Finally, take a look at his luminous effect at night.
In general, the upgrade of the dial of the ultimate version of 15450 from APS factory has a qualitative improvement. There will be no problem of being obviously fake at a glance in appearance. Watch enthusiasts who like it can boldly start! There are also other colors of APS factory’s 15450, and they are all upgraded. For details, please contact Bokey for consultation.
