Sorry to break this to you but OMF screwed this one up so badly.
The printing looks sharp because they left small flat planes on the tapisserie for the minute markers which are flat to let the print appear clear without distortion through the relief of the surface like on the gen or the JF - this difference in height of the pattern is compensated by enough printing lacquer.
if you look closely you see the small plateaus for the minute markers where this print is applied on.
The date wheel is a stock 9015 DW font which is pretty much crap and looks nothing like the gen nor the new V4 JF DWO.
beside those things the overall quality appears to be not as good as the AP master - but it is nice to see some competition in the AP game.
But i find it funny that OMF reps one of JFs best selling models - while they are good friends (according to Angus) - the last ROC was only build by OMF because JF gave them the permission... i wonder what it was like this time hehe.
People will get confused and nothing else with this release...

I see the planes but i find it looks not that bad i would accept it when the rest of the dial would look nice but the tapseries is meh.
I’ve ordered and paid to JF for the 15400 v4. Waiting for the qc pics now. How Long does it usually take for them to send the pics?

Congratulations...
I ordered one from ali-express for my rose gold, but if you want to swap the bracelete for a rubber strap you will also need the endlinks for it.
If you accept my humble opinion I would not recommend you to put a subber strap on it, the bracelete is part of the essence of the Royal Oak...
Post some pictures when you get it.

the best parts of the Royal Oak is indeed the bracelet
+1
Royal Oak is meant to be worn with the bracelet that it comes with. If you want rubber, I suggest ROO, or PP Aquanaut.
