The current watch replica from our Editor's Corner is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Extra-Thin or "Jumbo." Let's take a closer look at this iconic watch replica, which got its last facelift in 2012.
There are some unnoticed or unknown details in the world of replica watches. Those details, either thought up randomly or made up on purpose, give uniqueness to the models in which they are found. In most cases, they also increase the value of the timepiece.


One of the key players in the luxury watch replica competition, Audemars Piguet, sidestepped the crisis of the 1970s that nearly drove the brand to the wall, with the help of legendary watch guru Gerald Genta and his iconic Royal Oak design. The model, which was the only model with solid stainless steel construction, was called "Jumbo" because of its relatively large diameter of 39 mm. The first copies were issued with the Ref. 5402, and the legendary series continued with the modern versions with 15202 as the reference number.
The model Ref.15202 was released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic product line. It was a perfect clone of the original design in 1972. Watch replica enthusiasts praised the reissued timepiece with great appreciation, selling out the first lot in a flash. Excited anticipation took over from the second lot arriving at the boutiques, creating long waiting lists for this popular model.

Jumbo managed to keep its rarity and value thanks to its beautiful timepiece, thin and elegant case, and most of all, Audemars Piguet's smart marketing policy.

As can be seen from the comparison photos, the color of the dial of the first batch is noticeably lighter than that of the second batch.


The differences regarding the signature feature of the "Petite Tapisserie" effect brand are quite distinct. If you don't notice the difference, I recommend that you just count the small domes. Hands of the first lot have 26 pieces from top to bottom, while the dials of the second lot have 30 pieces.
When the second lot is issued, the Ref. No. I stayed the same. However, there were significant changes that were immediately noticed by the model's loyal followers like me.
Let's take a brief look at those details that are of great importance and have the potential to make significant differences in the future.


Well, this title almost speaks for itself. On the dials of the second party, the white gap between the A and P letters in the logo is considerably more significant than on the dials of the first party.


The second party dials have a thicker font compared to the first party dials.

As of today, it's no surprise to see the rarity of the first batch of Jumbo (produced in 2012) is four times greater than the later versions. Since the demand for rare is always on the rise, this rarity will undoubtedly increase further in the feature. In the meantime, the H Series will remain their rarity among the later versions and will be more desirable.

Loyal followers of the brand are well aware that the serial numbers on fake Audemars Piguet timepieces start with a letter. It is possible to have an accurate identification of the production date by merely decoding the messages that are issued in alphabetical order over the years. Referring to this information, the model of the 40-year-old version with the lighter color dial carries the H serial number. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but the second lot of replica watches Audemars Piguet is the serial number. Starts with the letter I. Despite the darker color of the dial, the Ref. No. 15202ST.OO.1240ST.01 remains the same.

I recommend all Jumbo owners to check the serial numbers on the back of their watch replica. See it in another article in Editor's Corner. 2019 cheap fashion replica swiss watches factory direct fake rolex for sale Good Rolex watches for men with price.
