This is the latest work from APS factory, it is a replica of the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin 1218420, now only APS factory makes the replica of this watch, I do not know if their follower ZF will also publish the replica in future.
The best selling replica among so many Jaeger LeCoultre watches is the Master Ultra Thin Moonphase model, which was made by GF, APS and ZF before, now only APS and ZF make it because GF could not be back to the business after that raid in the end of last year. GF went back to the business with a new name GO for some days, just to deal with their stocks, now you can not buy the good quality replica Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moonphase from GF, I thought GF makes the best one although the movement is Miyota 9015 based, but it is very stable. While the one made by APS or ZF usually has movement issues even it uses a super clone 925 movement. Unfortunately there are no super clones of the replica JL Master UT Moonphase with Miyota 9015 movement, only several small unknown factories are manufacturing.
Back to this new small seconds model from APS factory, the replica is equipped with a super clone 896 automatic movement, which is modified on the basis of APS 925 and moonphase and date modules were removed, the whole replica watch is very thin, which is about 9.2mm, but still thicker than 8.1mm on genuine watch. But it is about 1mm thinner than the moonphase model. Because the moonphase module is abandoned on the super clone 896, I think it is much more stable than the 925 of APS.
The replica does not have big flaws, the dial is an exact imitation of the original, every detail on the dial looks perfect, the dial is slightly arched, every hour marker is precisely cut in correct shape, the tridimensional JL logo at 12 o’clock has the same size as that on the genuine watch, the sword-shaped hour hand and minute hand have blasting finish on one side and polishing finish on the other side. Small second hand is running on the subdial set at 6 o’clock, it runs smoothly, not like the moonphase model that has a sudden jittering second hand.
The cow leather band feels a little stiff, you can replace it with a genuine aligator leather band, it is easy to remove the band due to the quick removal system. There are some stores in our market supplying genuine aligator leather straps.
