Why don’t they put more thought into building a 15400 quality 39mm 15202 RO is beyond me.. I think the 39mm would sell better..

because of the movement limitations and i think the more sporty look of the 15400 with a seconds hand is more common even if we "AP connoisseurs" (haha) like the thin 15202 without second hand more as an icon.

other people buy those replicas for the flex not because of the classy look or the historic design from 1975 I think...

How are the 15202 reps? I’ve been looking at this one specifically: http://chazingtime02.co/product/royal-oak-39mm-15202-yg-white-dial-yg-bracelet-miyota9015/

Going to ask sead if there is a black dial version of the new quartz. Had my heart set on the jf15450 as a second rep (I have an ARF date just) but as I’m only weekend wearer, for the money I’d be happy with that quartz for sure.

Cristobal did it arrive yesterday? I can't wait to see IRL pics and on the wrist.

No..it’s in my city but idk what is taking so long. I even called the post office because the expected delivery date is no longer showing. So the lady at the post office said it should arrive tomorrow. I’m hoping it’ll at least get delivered sometime today.

Guys look at the screws when you do QC saw some really bad examples even mine is not 100 % but its a 139 USD rep so yeah same with the case shape BUT dont be to picky its not a 500 USD rep so dont reject it because the screw is 0.0000000001 inch away thats bullshit i mean heavy examples were the screw is in a wrong direction.

Be in mind its a 139 USD rep so the quality will never be like 500 usd and more. So don't think there is a "perfect" one because mostly they have all some flaws. Just wanted to say that because i know a lot of people who gets way to picky with the reps. At a 500 USD point i say ok but at 139 USD point its just ridiclious. Its just a nice stylish watch don't make the "Uhhhhh look at my arm i have a 28k watch" guy because most people with knowledge will rip you apart.

btw. what i dont get why they are not filling the logo with white paint? It can't be that "hard" then the Logo would look more "Gen".

Caseshape i mean the general shape of the case mine looks a little rounded up but who knows maybe its the photo itself or something. Not really a big flaw just saying :) Everything else i post when it arrives here and will make a thread old vs. new and will link it here.

I managed to pick up one of the older versions of the 15202 quartz. Here's some pics for those who want.

For me it's turned out to be bigger than I wanted and would now love to see some side by side pics of this one with the 15450. Reckon 37mm is the one for my 7 inch wrist.

Tigerdragon Okay...... Interesting. So do you think the Sead version is a better case shape? And if so in what way? I was indeed thinking this one sits a little big on my wrist; but maybe it is to do with the case shape rather than overall size.
Cheers mate.

In first picture new Sead version on left and TF on right.
Second picture is overlay of both.
Not sure what this tells us. There is definitely something different about them.

The problem is the direction is different thats because of the photo perspective the bezel is actually the same.

I love the feel of the 39mm, I purchased a Gen 35mm Two Tone just the full the Void. I still want a 39mm Franken.
