Hi guys, im'looking around for a 41mm royal oak, which rep is the most well made?
I know is difficult to replicate the dial and the braclet too, but over all which is the best one?

Thank you very much!

As far as I know, the factories use the same case and bracelet on the 15510 model as the one they use on the 15500 model. So both case and bracelet are not very "gen-like" on the 15510. If you care about that, I would instead take a look at the 15500 from APSF.

But with the exception of the wrong case and bracelet, both ZF and APSF make a good 15510 model.

A lot of good information here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/ap-royal-oaks-rep-faq-thread.10944164/

I don't particularly like the 15500, i'm looking for the 15510, so if i'm on the market for that, my only choices are the zf and the APSf right?

both they are so far off in terms of bracelet and case or is noticiable only for a expert eye or terrible way off?

the movement is better the myota on the zf or the gen like apsf?

which is the closest color to the gen?

thank you very much, apprciete a lot your help

It’s ironical you’re saying that you don’t like the 15500 because the rep 15510 is completely wrong and looks more like the 15500 than the 15510.
Get the color you prefer, you do not need “closest to gen” because none of them will be gen and of course you won’t be presenting it as such.
The number one tell for most APs is the wearer, you know, the ones asking about tells and all. Just choose the model and color you like and rock it like a champ. Nobody will call you out I guarantee that. If you’re thinking to convince yourself that it’s a gen then only the gen will do as you’ll always know it’s a rep no matter how close it looks.
Makes sense?

There are a few posts discussing the 15510 from the different makers/factories, you can find them all in this sub section.
I reviewed the 15510 from ORF Factory here.

Thank you all so much, the difference is so big from 15510 to 15500 except from the dial and the bracelet thickness?

at the end of the day do you prefer the apsf or the zf? thank you!

Seconds hand shape on a rep is wrong as well - factories use 15500 hands set. Lazy SOBs... You would know that if you took some time and read what has already been posted here...

So, in conclusion if you want a very good rep of a 15510st, don't buy it, right now doesn't exist yet, buy the 15500, is closer to the gen. thank you very much!!!!

I got the black dial 15500 from ZF. Case, strap, hands seems very close to gen. But the sunburst effect on the dial..well, surely it can’t compete. Having that said, I think you would be better off going for the 15500.

In my opinion, that’s a good conclusion (y) But that being said, I bought the 15510 myself - because I like it!
