When you ask which factory best on making Audemars Piguet? There is no doubt to go to J Factory, not other factory. There are so many review of how good JF making those AP models. But, not only AP J Factory also have some other cool stuffs on Breitling, Cartier, and many more. This factory has made some perfect replica watches in some brands, and below is a list of their flagship replica watches:

- Rolex - Apart from Noob, JF is also made some perfect Rolex model especially on Yacht Master series, Daytona series, and Submariner, Milgauss, and Explorer series. Some people still love this model made by JF compare to Noob, but both are good in my opinion.
- Breitling - If you looking for Chronomat Series or Navitimer Model you must go for those made by J factory
- Cartier - Cartier Diver Series is the one you must get.
- Longines - Master Moonphase is probably the most popular Longines made perfectly by JF. All complication features are working perfectly.
Z FACTORY (ZF)
This factory is not an old factory like Noob or BP, but this factory recently made so many brands and model replicated perfectly. Some brands like IWC Schaffhausen, Tudor, Bell & Ross, and some Panerai model. These are some models as ZF flagship replica:
- IWC Schaffhausen - This factory is a big player of this brand, there are so many perfect clone made by them in this brand. Here are some: Portuguese 7 Day Model with real power reserve, Portuguese Chronograph with correct thickness, Pilot Chronograph Models and some Big Pilot Models which also real working power reserve feature.

AR FACTORY (ARF)
If you looking for the best build for Rolex especially
Daytona, Submariner and Datejust, this factory is the best choice for those models. By having perfect build, details, and perfect 904L materials, ARF now leading the market on Rolex build replication. Here are their flagships:
- Rolex - Daytona series (with perfect details and solid build with 904L stainless steel materials), Datejust 36mm, and Submariner 116610LN with 2824 movement. Clearly, this factory is more focusing on perfect build, they choose regular reliable movement to support instead of making the movement looks close to gen with some issue in the future.
V6F FACTORY (KW/HBB)

- IWC Schaffhausen - In order to compete with ZF on this brand, V6F made a perfect strategy by making the one that ZF not make, which is Aquataimer Model both Chronograph and Analog Series are good copies
- Tag Heuer - Again, we have no choice for this brand, only this factory made it very well and right now the best in the market. The flagship model are : Calibre 16, Calibre 1887, Calibre 36, Calibre 1887 Chronograph 41mm and some of Calibre 5.

VS FACTORY
This is quite new factory in the market, but this factory has made some perfect
Panerai models. I don't know whether they will produce another brand or not, but so far the only brand they made is Panerai. The good thing about this factory is they made random serial number which match between case and the one on the movement. Only 5 flagship replica from this factory so far
Pam 441, Pam213 (real split second), Pam 382, Pam359 and Pam312
MK FACTORY
This factory is also very reliable on making some brands and model, Below are some of their flagship.
- Rolex - MK factory is mastering on Celini model, you won’t find any other Rolex model made by this factory except Cellini, The build is good and I consider this model from MK is the best quality so far in the market.
- IWC Schaffhausen - When you looking for Portofino model there are 2 factories around the market who made perfect replica, but I will consider MK as recommendation. Another model is Pilot Analog model.
- Patek Philippe - Talking about the best Naultinus 5711 model the latest version that very close to genuine is form MK factory.
- Tag Heuer - Recently MK factory launched the new Calibre 5 WAY201A model, and it is very recommended.
- Breguet - It is very hard to find good replica of breguet, but if you looking for the simple breguet replica, you have to choose from MK factory. The best Breguet from this factory is Classique 5177BR.
OM FACTORY
This factory is only mastering on some Omega model, such as:
Planet Ocean Chronograph, Speedmaster Chronograph, New Model Planet Ocean 600m, and
Speedmaster 57 model. Previously JH made these models, however they cannot make independent minute and hours counter on the sub dial. Suddenly OM Factory just popped up to beat JH with revolutionary movement by having fully function chronograph on those models. The movement is also quite reliable, there is none of customers having issue with this model since these was launched.
S FACTORY
Again, there are some factory only develop 1 single brand, like S factory (SF) is only mastering in some Panerai model which is quite the same quality with KW /V6 Factory. Both are with super clone movement, but some form S Factory are better, such as on these model:
PAM 604, PAM425, PAM448, PAM690, PAM672, PAM1359, PAM605, PAM1312 and PAM449.
X FACTORY (XF)
Formerly known as KW, now they are re-branding with new factory name ; XF.
Mastering on Panerai, Tudor, and
Zenith Pilot, this factory now star leading the market again, competing with VS factory (on Panerai),
ZF (On Tudor and Zenith). For some models like
PAM 111, PAM005, PAM000. I will say this factory is the best maker so far.
G FACTORY (GF)
Mostly making some replica on Germany watches like Glashutte, A Lange & Sohne, now this factory launched the most demand-able Breitling replica on perfection. Here are some brands and model as GF flagship replica:
- A Lange & Sohne - Saxonia is the best build from this factory on this brands. Both on stainless steel or gold are very good.
- Breitling - Recommended Breitling from this factory are : Avenger II GMT M3239010/BF04/109W and Avenger Blackbird V1731110. GF just made it perfectly. So many people happy with this version as I read on forums.
- Glashutte Original - This is the brand that GF master on it. All Senator Sixties model made by this factory are extremely perfect. Another model that I recommend for you is Senator Navigator model.
T FACTORY (TF)
This factory is the master of Tourbillon and some complication watches. When you looking for Tourbillon replica watches, there is no other choice to buy only from this factory. Even not exactly like genuine, but all tourbillon watches from this factory are well made and well function. These are some models:
- Audemars Piguet - AP26412ST and Jules Audemars are the only Tourbillon from AP that replicated properly by T Factory.
- IWC Schaffhausen - IW5446 series, IW5042 series, and IW5046 series are the most recommended tourbillon series on this brand.
- Breguet - Classique Complications 5317BR/12/9V6 and Classique Complications 5307PT/12/9V6 are the best on tourbillon on this brand.
I hope this topic can help you to decide which brand and models is the best from any particular replica factories in replica industry. At the end, first understand that a replica factory is a replica factory, even if these are the best and the closest one, there MUST be a flaws. What can you expect by buying $300 replica compare to $3,000 or even $30,000 genuine? You must accept the fact that these are replica and you must accept the fact of their minor or major flaws. All you need to do is find out the seller/dealer who can speak and response your questions properly.
Like me it’s probably worth printing this out as a reference guide - happy shopping
