DD4302: functions and checks
Dandong 4302 Automatic Movement is the movement stated for this configuration. Ask QC to demonstrate every displayed function, crown position and available timing reading on the actual watch.
Size and wrist fit
The listed diameter sits in a broadly versatile range, but thickness and lug-to-lug behavior can make two watches with the same width wear differently. The integrated option also affects balance, flexibility and sizing.
Who should consider this configuration?
Choose this configuration for the exact reference, exterior treatment and displayed functions. Compare the complete specification because collection names and nicknames do not identify every option. The reference to match is 15500ST.

QC checklist for this reference

- Use straight-on, neutral-light images to inspect printing, applied markers, hand alignment, date or day centering where fitted and visible exterior condition.
- Demonstrate every displayed function and crown position on the actual watch.
- Check winding, time setting, clasp or buckle operation and an available timegrapher reading for DD4302.
- Check link or strap condition, articulation, sizing range and the security of the clasp or buckle.
Practical questions before ordering
Is this an original Audemars Piguet watch?
No. This is a VS Factory-made replica offered by an independent retailer. Brand and reference names identify the design and configuration being compared; they do not indicate authorization or manufacture by the original brand.
Will every production batch look identical?
No. Components and finishing can change between batches. Treat the current product specification and the QC photos or video supplied for the order as the final reference.
Does a stated depth rating confirm water resistance?
No. A separate pressure test is required before exposing any watch to water.
