Best 39mm Royal Oak AP

[vcappp]

Yes by myself.

no didn’t remove the bezel. Removed the caseback, movement and dial.

mod with needle and acrylic paint.

steady hand and loupe necessary.

Thanks for your reply.

Two more quick questions, so, do you think that the AP logo can be rotated very slightly?

OR the AP logo is glued tight and it cannot be rotated at all?

How hard or easy to open the case back and detach the dial and the quartz movement? What things make you need a loupe? for some tiny screws or just for the precision apply of the white acrylic paint?

Edit found it.

JF Version
- AP logo is good but not perfect
- bezel shape is good

Cons
- to thick
- worst printing

No idea on how the AP logo was affixed onto the dial. Didn’t try or needed to adjust it.

Loupe is to ensure some degree of accuracy and precision.

caseback is held by the 8 screws..no o-ring on it so this rep is off-limits to water.

after jus remove the stem and a plastic movement holder.

movement and dial can be removed after.

How is the bracelet quality/flexibility compared to say a JF 15400 or 15450?

 

[Tigerdragon]

The same only the quality is rougher like you see on some pictures in the thread

 

[justlounging]

Possible some light hand polishing might soften the roughness.

The bracelet fit in to case is not on par with JF.

Overall it’s amazing for the Price but it does feel like $140 fit and finish and not $400

I have had them all (this, the fatpanda, jf 15450 and jf 15400) i cant say the bracelet on this feels so much worse or jf feels much better
None feels gen like for sure.

Must be me..

Please anyone know how the AP logo affixed onto the dial of this quartz model? I would like to rotate it very slighlty..

Is the AP logo glued tight? or pin structure is installed through the dial physically?

Any idea everyone please?

Picked up a BP 15300 in blue a few weeks ago. Has the wrong date color but overall a pretty decent watch. Looks more grey in outdoor light and dark blue in indoor white light (pics were taken under yellowish lights). The fit is perfect with the 39mm but I think I'll get the JF V3 15400 in blue because I wish it was slightly bigger (6.5in wrist).

It is advertised as 11mm. I can't measure exactly because I don't have the calipers but with a ruler it looks to be 11mm. Surprisingly not as chunky as I thought on the wrist considering my other watch is a GC chrono @ 44mm x 13-14mm.

I got it from Ryan @ InTime and this is the "ROYAL OAK SS BP BEST EDITION JUMBO" with the Miyota 9015.

Just wait for the reviews of the JF version

Just read through this entire thread and it's clear to see mostly everyone is pro Sead/Quartz when it comes to the 15202. But has anyone ventured out to try the "automatic" models from TD's - particularly in rose gold or yellow gold? I keep getting drawn back to the version below but would love to see real world pics prior to ordering, if at all possible...Or, if you had rg or yg version from sead by all means share that as well...

Wait for JF better as the other models (not the quartz).

Hold your breath when it comes to the automatic 15202.

JF just released a teaser of a high end 15202 which is on par with their 15400 quality wise.

I have ordered a YG 15202 with undecorated 9015 for a friend as he wanted a YG watch...
and had to admit that it was a shit idea. Fake screws, no engravings on the case back, bracelet came installed the wrong way - had to turn it around.

And then there was a fake gear in the center of the rotor that was glued with some sort of gummy but not real glue. I had to take it off before damaging the movement...

Oh and it came with other hands as advertised as the maler claimed the hands as an update... wrong in every way. Dial layout is horrible anyways. Not even worth a 100 bucks IMHO

so keep calm and wait for JF to release the YG and RG versions of the 15202 as it will be the best option for all of us even if it is 1,5mm thicker than the gen.
