I noticed these gen vs APSF comparison pictures just recently posted to a non TD site. Checked all the 15720 threads and couldn’t find them so posting now. Apologies if these have already been posted somewhere else.

I’ve had the watch for a couple weeks and am quite pleased. The movement is smooth and quiet. The finish is good. Slight quibble about the date window - it’s pretty reflective, so in some light conditions it’s difficult to read the date. I don’t know if the gen is the same in that respect. The rubber strap seems to be of good quality. Overall, happy with the purchase.

As long as you are happy and satisfied with it, that is the important thing. Good looking watch by the way.

I received my 15720 a couple of weeks ago and just wanted to share my impressions.

This is a fantastically made replica watch, the quality in materials and finishing is very high, it definitely feels premium on the wrist. It reminds me of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Ferrari by V6 factory with regards to the quality of the production.

The glaringly obvious fault is the wrong colour bezel gasket as covered earlier in this thread. Although it is not a deal breaker by any means but would have been nice for them to get this right. Especially as APS factory are already making the blue gasket as used on the blue model.

The calibre is excellent and probably the best clone calibre I’ve experienced, it is super smooth. Winding, setting time & date are almost effortless.

The strap is also very comfortable, for a replica rubber strap it is made really well and feels quality. APS have copied the AP quick change strap and buckle systems perfectly making it a breeze to change straps, without requiring any tools.

Enough words, here’s a shed load of pictures to enjoy ;)

Thank you for sharing, if they’re making improvements let’s hope they include the bezel gasket correct colour.

I dyed mine. Easy enough.
Yes I saw the mod details very thoroughly documented by Kettle1 in the ZF thread. I don't really want to buy all the tools just to be able to perform this, the colour doesn't bother me that much. However if they are making an improved version then the easiest improvement would be to get the gasket colour correct.

I agree with you here on multiple fronts. It was interesting taking on the challenge but if I had a new 15720 in that color I wouldn't do it again. The grey didnt bother me that much.

It did give me an opportunity to become more familiar with the construction and grease all the gaskets at least.

So is the blue dial better than the grey due to the gasket color? Thinking this might look silly on my 6.5 inch wrist. Wish I could try one on

I love the grey dial, it fits my flat 16cm wrist quite well. Older divers such as the 15710 require strap replacement, however the 15720 fits nice out of the box.

If you are ever swinging through texas you are than welcome to try a few of mine on.

My wrist is a little under 6.5 and it fits me well. I think the shape and size of the wrist is more important than actual circumference. The flat side or face of my wrist is 52mm. I reckon this will fit you well.

I have the 15720 and a 6.5” wrist. I used to think I couldn’t pull it off. But I find it works well in the summer with athleisure wear and winter with long sleeves.

Thanks! Might try it and see if I like it better than a modded Bruce Wayne GMT
