I don't know exactly what to think of this rotor - even if the typo is fixed and we won't ever (want to) fool anybody with the opened case back - the old supplier delivered a better color and finish in terms of quality judging from pictures under artificial lighting from different perspectives...

old typo error:

royal-oak-39mm-15202-ss-jf-1-1-best-edition-blue-textured-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a2121.jpg


new fixed rotor:

ap2018121501-12.jpg



But anyways - i will get this watch as soon as possible hehe - throw the decoration away, thin the case back and we have a winner until something better releases (i doubt it as JF has got the AP monopoly)

Looks RG now just like 15400, not gen look at all.

The question is how they want to make it better? If they print on the dial it will always looks that shitty (see the new V4 some are good some are completly terrible) and honestly iam a big fan of the 15202 BUT the printing looks terrible. Maybe i buy one and put my quartz dial in it or something lol because seriously does this look worth almost 500 usd to anybody?

It certainly doesn't, I really wonder where the price difference between this and the 15400 comes from.

Also, your video isn't accessible because of privacy settings.

Best way to get better printing is to simply boycot this release until they fix it

The question is if they can ever fix that problem i mean the 15400 has the same problems since 5 years.

Edit:
I uploaded the video on Youtube for everyone who has problems with vimeo (like me):

puretime needs to change the way how the photographer takes the pictures of a product. It doesn’t help anything to realize how the product looks. It just increasing frustration and confusion.
