The movement inside This reference is built with either calibre. The choice changes the price, the rate and the reserve — nothing else about the watch.
| Base | Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215, automatic | Swiss clone of the maison's own calibre |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | ±15 to 25 seconds a day | ±5 to 10 seconds a day |
| Reserve | About 40 hours | 55 to 70 hours |
| Balance | 21,600 A/h · six beats a second | 28,800 A/h · eight beats a second |
| Servicing | Any watchmaker can service it; parts are everywhere | Serviced by a specialist; finished as the original is |
| Suited to | Wearing daily, keeping simply, spending less | Matching the reference exactly, and glass casebacks |
The Swiss movement is $50 more. That figure buys the rate, the reserve and a movement that reads correctly through a glass back — not a different watch.
Which we would take. If it is to be worn every day and serviced down the road from you, the Japanese is the honest answer. If it has to survive a loupe against the reference — or the caseback is glass and the movement is meant to be seen — take the Swiss.
The exact base calibre for this reference is confirmed in writing, with the QC film, before anything is dispatched. The two movements, explained

Description
Limited availability. The APF factory's "New Colorway" Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26238 collection 42mm watch surpasses all versions on the market. A masterpiece that eliminates the obvious fake, it is a breakthrough developed based on the original, breaking through barriers with "unlocking the original's proprietary technology and featuring a removable end link, allowing for maximum comfort on the wrist and eliminating the embarrassment of being easily mistaken for a fake." APF factory truly considers the needs of every watch enthusiast: 1. The case and bezel edge use imported zirconium oxide, forged under extremely high pressure and temperature without any pigments to create a high-density colored ceramic. 2. Employing the latest CNC-level polishing technology, every angle of the case is perfectly finished. 3. Every hexagonal screw is flush with the bezel, without any protrusion or dent, truly embodying top-grade replica art. 4. The dial features Audemars Piguet's classic large checkered pattern as a background, with distinctly layered squares, perfectly polished, showcasing the artisan's craftsmanship to the fullest. 5. The crystal uses double-sided sapphire crystal, and the strap is made of natural rubber. 6. The movement uses the original 3126 chronograph movement, with small seconds at twelve o'clock, 12-hour and 30-minute chronographs at 6 and 9 o'clock, perfectly replicating all the functions of the original. Every watch from APF factory... All movements undergo manual QC to ensure stability, truly achieving impeccable quality. We welcome all watch enthusiasts to appreciate them.
