The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Diver watch replica, once highly sought after, has seen a decline in popularity. While models like the 15703 and 15710 from JF were once considered the best replicas, the closure of JF led to a scarcity of super clones until ZF stepped in. However, ZF’s focus on other Royal Oak models like the 15400 and 15500 has overshadowed their offerings for the 15710 and 15703. Fortunately, APS has emerged as a significant player in the replica watch market, particularly with their development of the 3120 movement, now considered the best clone movement for the Royal Oak 15400.
In July, APS released the V2 edition of the replica 15710, filling a void left by JF’s absence. As for the new Royal Oak Diver watch 15720, neither ZF nor APS currently produce replicas of this model. For enthusiasts seeking a replica 15720, options include BF and IPF, with the latter being the preferred choice due to its superior quality. IPF offers the 15720 replica in four color variations, each featuring a modified Japanese Miyota 9015 movement.
The 15720 replica from IPF boasts a solid stainless steel case with a diameter of 42mm and a thickness of 14.2mm. The black ceramic bezel adds to its allure, while the dial layout, though more compact than the 15710, features wider hour markers for enhanced luminosity in dark conditions. The yellow diving stripe on the inner bezel further improves readability.
While the modified clone 4308 movement in the replica 15720 is stable and reliable, there remains a noticeable gap compared to a super clone. Looking ahead, it’s possible that APS and ZF may produce replicas of the 15720 in the future, potentially by the latter half of 2023.
