The Best Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 Homage – Geya Watch 78083

Geya Watch Box

I introduced a good homage of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch with skeleton dial on my blog before, it looks really good, the watch is made by Geya, which is a watch company located in Shenzhen of China, today, I will review another AP Royal Oak homage watch from Geya, after reading this article and checking the pictures, I think you and me will have the same opinion, that is Geya is making the best AP Royal Oak homage. I have seen a lot of homage watches made in China, but none of them have the same good finish as this Geya watch.

Does this watch look familiar to you? It looks like the Royal Oak 15500. When I received the watch, the package is very heavy, the watch is in a high-end black box that looks much better than the boxes of other watches I reviewed here, even better than the box offered by Sea-gull watch. Actually Geya sent several gifts along with the watch, the box has a clever design for the placing of the Geya manual book.

The case has a very close shape to AP Royal Oak but has a bigger size, I measured, the case diameter is more than 43mm, not including the crown, it it bigger than than AP 15500, the case thickness is about 11.7mm. The octagonal bezel has vertical brushing finish with polished screws, each screw on the bezel is fixed in right position, with slot being aligned perfectly, for example, please check the screws at 5 o’clock and 11 o’clock, you will know what I mean. The crown is screw-in and has a drawing “G” logo on the brushed face. The entire watch has a weight of 166 grams.

About the checkered dial, besides this black, Geya also offers white and blue, they are all well made. Every tridimensional hour marker has stainless steel frame and has white luminous material filled in the center. The markers are finished perfectly without metal burr on the edge. The second hand on the center is sweeping the dial very smoothly, the date window is also a close imitation of the one on AP 15500. The brand name GEYA at 12 o’clock has a glossy finish. All things on the dial look good, but the dial is lack of some reflective effect that could be even found on some super clones of AP.

The stainless steel bracelet has the same construction as the AP 15500, the bracelet naturally extends from the case that is being connected through two pins, the bracelet is naturally narrowed down from top to the end, it seems to have merged into a whole piece with the case. On the opening of the clasp, there is G logo and brand name “GEYA” in drawing finish. The entire bracelet has vertical brushing finish that is in line with the finish on the case.

The watch is equipped with an automatic movement, you can totally see the machine through the crystal back. I do not know where exactly the movement is made, maybe from Japan, this movement has a great power reserve, after being delivered, I put the package in still for about 36 hours, the watch still worked accurate after I opened the box. Besides the brand name engraving on the auto rotor, there is no other decoration on the movement plate.

Conclusion:

This is the most beautiful Audemars Piguet Royal Oak homage watch I have ever seen, it has superb case finish and bracelet finish, the movement is accurate and also has considerable power reserve as well as few issues. Considering its price that is less than $150, I think there are no other AP homages that can compete with this one at the same price lever. It is highly recommended.

Geya Customize G-Max AP Royal Oak Skeleton Homage Review

Geya G-Max in Box

Geya Customize, I rarely follow this brand, I do not like its name, like a brand specilizes in producing watches for women, but I found that most of their watches look big and are full of masculinity. From its name we can tell Geya is a brand that mainly produces custom-made watches, but I saw many of them are homages of current hot models from Swiss brands, perhaps this has become their development stragegy, not customizing watches with their own design ideas, but to copy the designs of popular Swiss watches. Well, I do not care, because a lot of watches in my collection are such type of homage watches, I will continue to buy as long as their quality is acceptable. I already have one Geya watch, it is a forged carbon RM35-02 homage, which is my best carbon watch in my collection, and the watch is my most favorite one to wear out with my sports suits. Today, I want to introduce another watch I got from Geya Customize, it is also a big guy and looks sporty, and absolutely a homage.

No need to say, the watch is a homage of an AP Royal Oak, the shape of the case and bezel is completely the same as that of AP ROO. I know this AP watch, it has a skeleton dial and the watch is very popular in fake watch industry, now, many micro brands in China have also published the homage of this watch. The case is 42mm in diameter and has a thickness of 12mm, it is a classic angular AP case, the case is totally brushed, the edge and corner of the case looks sharp, but they are processed very well, so you won’t feel scratches when the watch on hand. The octagonal bezel is also brushed on the front, while being polished on the edge around. The crown has a big “G” letter engraved.

The skeleton dial is under protection of a sapphire crystal. The skeletonized structure of the dial is slightly different from that of the dial of AP. We can see some movement parts through the blackened frames on the dial. The beveled inner bezel with white dotted hour markers and white minute scales on enhances the stereoscopic effect of the entire dial. Dotted hour markers, central hour hand and minute hand are applied with SuperLumiNova, the blue lume light is long-lasting.

Geya G-Max Movement

The movement is also full of mechanical sense like the dial, it has a skeleton auto rotor. I do not know which manufacturer the movement comes from, maybe another Japanese movement, the watch still works very accurate even I have had it for three weeks, the watch will gain 8 seconds each day, such accuracy is very rare, all my other Chinese watches can not achieve such a high accuracy, it is my luck. The watch is equipped with a black rubber band, while Geya also offers a stainless steel bracelet option, just pay a little extra and you can get both.

Geya G-Max Forged Carbon RM35-02 Homage Review

Geya G-Max in Box

This is the first time to hear about Geya, which is a very feminine name, I do not know its story or history, I also do not want to know, too many watch brands like this created a false story, some even said their watches are made in the Switzerland to cheat Chinese customers, but we know their true colors, but if you provide quality timepieces, that will be acceptable because the cost won’t be high, by the way, I have bought a lot of Chinese watches, their quality is ok, and when I find new models that interest me, I wouldn’t mind buying more.

Not like its feminine name, this Geya watch looks very strong and is only for men. The watch is a G-Max forged carbon model from Geya, at first glance, I thought it is a RM35-02 from Richard Mille, both have a very similar outlook. The watch has a big size that is almost 50mm high and 17mm in thickness, yes, it is very thick, but feels very light to wear, not heavy because it is made with forged carbon. The unique carbon texture on the case looks obvious. And the screws on the case also refer to the screw design on RM35-02, and they are blackened to match the entire black forged carbon case. I have seen many kinds of carbon fiber watches, I have to admit that the carbon material used on this Geya watch has a most impressive texture. I dislike the red fluted circle on the crown, I do not know why Geya did not use a rubber cap like RM.

The dial is completely skeletonized, there is brand lettering “GEYA CUSTOMIZE” on the beveled inner bezel. Almost all things you see on the dial are movement components, we can see that the entire movement is hanging inside the case, but its fixing mode can guarantee the max stability of the movement. Each round dotted markers are luminous, so is the tip of the hour hand and minute hand. The great depth and skeleton design of the dial gives will give the wearer a good visual experience.

From the see-through crystal back, we can see the automatic movement, I do not know where it comes from, the supports to fix the movement are more clear when you check from the back. Geya claims that it is an imported movement, I guess it is from Japan. The watch comes a red rubber band, absolutely you can ask the supplier to change a black one for you. The rubber band is made with natural rubber material imported from Malaysia, it is super soft and dustproof, which offers a super wearing comfort.

About water resistance, Geya said the watch is able to resist 50m, I do not think so, such mechanical watch that does not features a screw-down crown can not have that deep water resistance, I do not suggest you wear it when swimming.
