Is this JF 15450 a v2 or a v3?

See the thread below;
https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...oyal-oak-ro-15450-37mm-black-dial-ss-bracelet

In the title, OP states that the JF 15450 he bought is a v3?? To my knowledge JF only released a v2 for the 15450 which they discontinued. chazingtime's webpage doesn't state v3 anywhere either, so I can only assume the word "v3" specifically popped up in email correspondence from the dealer

I've also been looking to pick up an RO, but as much as I'd like to get the v3 15400 my wrists are too small to pull it off so I've been waiting for an update to the 15450.

Is this it? I'm not that familiar with RO reps; can someone who is familiar with the v2 JF 15450 confirm that OP's watch is actually an update or if its a v2?

I don't think there is a V3 15450 from JF either. As far as we know V2 is the latest version (and possible discontinued) because every 15450 posted here recently hasn't received any kind of updates.

OP might have been confused as the term 'V3 JF' is used a lot with the 15400.

How large are your wrists? I have a 6.5 inch wrist and picked up the 15450. While the bracelet size was perfect the watch itself was a bit too small for my tastes. I'm going back to the 15400 soon.

My wrists are around 6.3 in
What bothers you about the 15450? Is the dial too small?

My largest watch is a 40mm Seiko and as it is, I feel like it's barely under the threshold of being too big. I typically go for 37-38mm watches which seems to be my sweet spot.

With the RO I'm mainly concerned about design of the fixed lugs, and them not "lining up" with the contour of my wrist. I haven't been able to find info regarding the 15450 lug to lug but supposedly the 15400 is 52mm, which is a touch wider than the 47mm lug to lug of my Seiko

The 15450 itself is quite compact in the sense that it looks like a women's watch, thin width bracelet and a smaller dial combined with a 10mm thick case. My wrists are 6.5 inches but my hands and forearms are considerably larger. I'm also 185cm with an athletic build so the while the watch looks great in person and on my wrist, if you saw me in person wearing it you'd wonder why I was wearing such a small watch.

I'll probably stick to the 15450..
my arms are rather slender and truth be told I've always been kind of averse to large watches
