finally ready for my first AP Rep. been a fan for years but never thought I could pull it off. now I finally think its time.
I had rolex rep and gen for a while.

im in the market for the classic AP royal oak either 15500 or the new 15510.
is there any preference for a better rep between the 2?
who would u recommend asps or ZF?
doing my research but got a bit confused since there's a lot of new and old information mixed here..

If you can pull off a Rolex, you certainly can for a Royal Oak. Go ahead and get one and you will be amazed.

If you asking for a better repped one, then it is 15500 obviously. Personally, I prefer the 15510 dial and will either live with the flaws or have it modded.

APSF and ZF equally high quality and little differentiation between them. No need to tear your hairs out. Just choose one and send to Legend for his magics. No regret, money well spent.... I can assure you.

Hi, about the 15707, are the case back and links made of titanium instead of steel? the buckle is clearly titanium but I can't find info from Google and the official page is dead. So is the latest ZF 15707 made of titanium and the APS version all steel then? Thks

no no im not that bad :) and I know you can't reach perfection or 1:1 ! im complete aware!!
but id love to be as close as possible just for the fun of it. and sort of a challenge.
nothing that will bother me the day I get the watch im sure.

just want to know the differences and how close the rep gets from the warehouse.
just love for watches! no craziness I promise lol.

just not educated enough yet that's why my questions like that I guess.

I think you missed the tease sir. 🤣
But all good. I’ll explain it for you, you meant “definitely” but wrote “defiantly”. You can look up what “defiantly” means and that was the basis of my tease.
It’s just a little joke please don’t mind me.

There is a good resource here to read up :

I have a slim 16.5cm wrist and the beefier 15500 wears better than the 15400. Got to do with the case and lug design.

Just a heads up. I recently received an APSF 15500. I absolutely love the watch.
Not being familiar with how the bracelet is put together I immediately lost one of the screws that hold the pins in. (Check you tube before adjusting if not familiar.
I then, no fault of my own, lost one of the Hex Head Bolts that are visible on the bezel as it had not been tightened properly. I then went over the watch with my screw driver and noted that all visible screws and bolts were a little loose. I suggest going over the watch as soon as possible to check that yours are not loose.

Where is this from? I'm new to this site but it seems alot more difficult to just find out where I buy from? From research it seems that ZF and APSF are the best reps for the Royal Oak. But I don't think I can go directly to the ZF or other factory. Can you help me in this? Your watch looks good so I figured I would reach out. I'm looking for the 152202 39mm w/ blue dial. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
