VS AP15500 Annual Bestseller with Dandong Cal.4302 Integrated Movement (New Ceramic Ball Bearing Version) Pre-sale!
- The Dandong Cal.4302 integrated movement is developed referencing the latest genuine watch, fitted with ceramic ball bearings.
- The tapisserie dial square pattern of VS reaches over 95% similarity to the original, featuring delicate luster.
- The bracelet has 23 links matching the genuine piece (not the 24-link version common on the market).
- The endlink droop of VS replicates the exact angle of the original.
- High machining precision; the width of hour and minute hands matches the genuine watch (unlike overly thick hands from other factories).
- The luminous material on VS has grainy texture same as original, and the date font is warm yellow.
- Fine bracelet details match the genuine: sunken screw holes, and the feet of the “AP” logo shaped like sea lion paws (see photos for reference).
This is the official factory introduction. It is easy to see that market competition has turned extremely fierce. Multiple manufacturers produce the same popular watch model with decent quality. This phenomenon is even more extreme for pieces like Daytona and Submariner, where there are five or six high-quality manufacturers. This can be beneficial for buyers. However, it creates challenges for sellers. When product quality across factories is nearly identical, each brand releases its own marketing copy, and buyers tend to rely heavily on these descriptions. Given this situation, simply pick whichever factory you prefer. We only share well-made timepieces. Check out the factory photos below.
