Which is better, the ZF Factory Audemars Piguet 15707CB or the APS Factory version? Which is the highest version?

Hello everyone, this is Bokey. In this issue, let’s briefly introduce the ZF factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Series 15707CB ceramic wristwatch. This time, the ZF factory has launched two distributions, one in black ceramic and one in white ceramic. The movement is equipped with the Shanghai 3120 integrated movement. These two wristwatches were also launched by the APS factory before. The workmanship is also relatively good. However, the buckle, back cover and crown parts are not made of titanium alloy. This time, the ZF factory has launched and repaired the material flaws of the APS factory. Now let’s take a look at the workmanship details of the ZF factory Audemars Piguet 15707 compared with the APS factory.

The mirror surface of ZF factory 15707 adopts sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating, which is very transparent as a whole.

ZF factory 15707 black ceramic has a very good texture. The black dial is engraved with “Méga Tapisserie” super large checkered decoration, matched with fluorescent three-dimensional hour markers and orange Royal Oak hands (orange minute hand). The characteristic octagonal screws are fixed, and most of the watch cases are brushed, making it more fashionable and beautiful.

The 15707 of white ceramic is also done relatively well. The font on the dial is also the correct color. The middle logo and the 6 o’clock position are black fonts like the original, not the wrong blue font of the APS factory.

The ceramic case side also has a brushed finish. Here is a brief mention. The internal bezel adjustment crown on the left and the time adjustment crown on the right. The original crown is made of titanium alloy. The ZF factory 15707 is also in sync with the original material, while the APS factory uses 316 stainless steel.

Transparent bottom design. The ZF factory uses a titanium alloy bottom cover just like the original. In terms of the movement, it is equipped with a 3120 integrated movement. This movement has stable performance and a very low repair rate, and can provide 60 hours of power reserve.

When comparing the back cover of the ZF factory 15707 with that of the APS factory, it is immediately clear. The APS factory uses the incorrect version of 316 fine steel material, which will look a bit brighter. While the ZF factory uses the correct version of titanium alloy, with a darker texture. This is also the color characteristic of titanium alloy.

The strap of ZF factory is made of natural rubber strap, and the buckle is also made of titanium alloy. While the buckle of APS factory is still made of 316 fine steel.

In conclusion, whether in appearance or material, the ZF factory 15707 is a bit more perfect than the APS factory. The price will also be a bit more expensive than that of the APS factory. But from the perspective of overall restoration degree, Bokey still recommends that you choose the ZF factory 15707 to avoid the problem of being obviously fake at a glance.
