I am thoroughly confused. I see posts of people from February and March referring to the just-released V3 15400 and saying that there is no blue dial V3. This confuses me becausePuretimelists the V3 15400's as having been released in September-November of last year. Are they just taking the V2J's and renaming them as V3's(https://puretime05.com/royal-oak-41...-textured-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a3120-v3.html)? Basically, are there any Blue V3's out yet, and are the ones puretimeis selling actual V3's(I saw someone else'spost saying that Toro said that all the 15400's sold now are V3's). Sorry if this is confusing. Thanks for any responses!

They only updated the black dial on v3’s is what I’ve been told by 2 TD’s.

Blue dial latest version is v2j. It received an update last year . V3 is more relevant to black dial. Unless they have updated the blue post CNY

So not even the white v3 is available? Also, what are the differences between v2j and v3? Does that mean that the only true v3 on puretime is the black dial? The black dial is my least favorite color.

My white “v3” is a v2j dial. The old black dial had more flaws so that’s the only one they upgraded. As far as I know.

I think looking at the other thread is a bit more informative. From what I know, there is a black and a blue V3 for sure. One of the most important changes is with the grid pattern on the face going from "pimple" to more squarish (it's pretty obvious when you compare the two). And the other being the logo box. Intime's pictures of the V3s are pretty good representations of them.

I’ve also been told by a couple TD’s that there is no V3 blue dial. As long as I been in the rep world I noticed if there’s a new updated version to ANY watch damn near all the TD’s would have it on their websites. They wouldn’t sell a watch that was updated and not advertise it.

I don't know. I emailed puretimeabout it. Do any of the puretimeworkers speak good English? I have seen other posts say to keep it short and sweet because they have to use things like google translate to read your messages. Is that the case for all TD's?

Maybe you need to mention that it got a gen dial :D

But i must say some of the recent white V3 dial were pretty damn sharp and very very close to the real deal...

Thats the v2j dial, can tell from the channel that goes around the top and sides of the box that has "Audermars Piguet" written in it.

beside this fact - the tapisserie looks way sharper though...

I thought I said that, maybe that was in a different post. Not sure what year dial it is though, but it was expensive! Tickleshoes redrilled the mainplate to except the gen dial feet and serviced the movement. Slaughterer is the originator of that mod. Unfortunately shipping to him from conus is difficult.
The caseback was thinned by loco Louie. I wish he was still doing them I would buy a grey one! Hopefully someone else will do the mods that loco Louie was doing.
