JF 15450 vs 15400 dial print difference

I have been looking for 15450 from JF and must say
its dial print (minute markers, swissmade, audemars piguet, automatic)
seem much much more sharp and crisp on both white and black dial!!!

Anyone info on when the latest version of 15450 was released from JF?

Seems like JF may have planned to play the upgrading step by step
so we can sell 2,3 watches on one customer :(?

I've owned both the latest 15450 (v2 dial with correct 3oclock marker) and the previous v1.

Both had crisp minute markers and Swiss made txt.

I've owned around x6 JF 15400s (mixture of v1 and v2s). ALL had NON- crisp minute markers.

I think it's just harder to see imperfections on the smaller 15450 dial with naked eyes.

I ve never seen a side by side compare but from the photos,
15450s do seem to have sharper markers.

I dont think it s just the smaller dial so smaller flaw situation,
but more of a different dial maker or marker printer.

For example, TF seems to have much crispier (thicker maybe) minute markers on 15400 than JF.
So seems actually like an easy fix if they wanted to :)

There isn't a huge print quality difference between JF15400 and JF15450 to conclude different makers.

For example:

Here's my JF15450: the "Swiss made" txt reads "swi6s made"

Here's my JF15400TT. It has the same "swi6s made" flaw and the minute markers are comparable quality to the 15450.

Perhaps the JF15450 minute markers are 10% more crisp but then again the 15400 is 10% larger (hence the minute markers are longer and therefore the non-crisp paint application is more evident).

Here's my TF 15400 dial for reference (easy to tell that this dial is from a completely different maker).

I see thank y for the comparison!!
I saw your tt 15400 on the other thread and it looks amazing.
I just wonder if JF will be correcting this flaw soon :(
TF seems to have much clearer printings but they do seem a little too thick..?

Yeh, I know what you mean....there's something fake looking about the TF printings. Lol

Glad I m not the only one :)
bur your tt especially black seems to have a much clearer printings than the others I ve seen til now.
You think it s improved a little? Or just a case by case thing :(?

Thanks for your thoughts on this. How are you finding the thickness of the 15450? E.g. Does it slip under a dress shirt cuff?

The TT dial actually looks like Swi65 Made.

Beautiful watch all the same, got to love the world of Replicas.
