Congrats on those jumping in on this .. been waiting for a reasonable version and this for the price is pretty good. Keep posting pics in the mean time. Lets keep supporting these so they just get better.

A great review of the gen for those whom don't know why this is THE AP to have

Just dropped an order off at Sead's. :D

The text on the dial seems kinda blurry. Can anybody confirm or is it just the pics?

Not really rough the quality looks cheaper than before BUT for 139 usd its ok i guess, btw. high res pictures are coming it looks very good in sun/normales light just a little cheap with electric light (compared to 200 € chrono AP and the old quartz version).

i thick the lack of ink/filling on the Audemars Piguet and automatic text at 12 oclock is the weakest link i can see.
I have not tested the bracelet yet.

Its just the dial it looks better in real life. Only bad thing is the bracelet in my opinion.

Tigerdragon it also seems that the screws are not centered on the bezel ring. from the photo it appears that they are closer to the outer part of the ring than to the inner part/dial

Its actually pretty good on mine just look weak on my pictuteres because of the heavy sun. Will post a picture later of the caseback.

Actually the Automatic bracelet looks the same as mine so no need to swap and the bezel will not fit because the case is smaller than the automatic versions/old quartz versions.

Edit: screws should not be centered i think because the 15202 had the screws on the outer line.

Its like gen check this:

The lack of slope on the outer part of the bezel is the obvious difference to me. It looks like a scaled down bezel from a 15400

As an example

Missing 12 oclock marker.... I saw that on other TD pages too and 10 mm

Ofcourse there is the fatpanda version which is 8.8 because of the wrong rotor but the rest is identical and have quality problems at the moment.

Such a shame that JF is not doing the 15202 :(

Agree about JF apparently they are only repping watches that they buy gen for .. unfortunately everyone still crazy for BIG watches so these never get enough attention

Nice comparison between GENUINE 15202 39mm ($140) and the 15450 37mm ($380)..... unfortunately the JF 15450 is 11mm .... food for thought to consider and help you decide, never quite perfect in any rep choice
