Is the OMF dial build into JF V4 is the ultimate 15400 for now?
Such a shame that JF printing looks like shit....

And case thickness is exactly the same as JF.

I just want to point out that a lot of TDs have the wrong thickness down for reps. I don't know why , became how hard is it to measure the rep and put the right number down.
I can't remember off the top of my head, but I saw a lot of the same model listed with different thickness on different TD sites.
Best way we get accurate information is when a member buys it and measures it and post it on the forums.

Doesn’t matter if it’s v3 or v4, or any dial color. All are flawed equally vs the gen.
But having said that, the quality of both versions are really remarkable and for the price, it definitely makes sense to get one if you hanker after the 15400.
Congrats on your watch and wear her well. :)

Honestly, if the printing was as good as the OMF one, we would have a super Rep

There is no definition of a super rep and it’s pretty subjective.
To me, even if the dial printing is spot on, the hands, case thickness and especially the miyota movement are all tells and therefore not a super rep. But that’s just what I think. For others, even a stock v3 is close enough and that’s understandable too. It all depends on your expectation and benchmark of accuracy.

In general, guys, better v3 or v4? The only thing that I do not really like is the decoration of the movement .. For everything else, both v3 and v4 seem very close to the gen, correct me if I'm wrong ..

V4 will be better with updated dw and thicker printings.

Compared to V3, the latest V4 appears to have correct thinner hands, updated DW and revised dial. The latest v3 batches (from 4 weeks ago) also have these modifications. The V4 revised dial is probably just a change of supplier. I don’t know if the V4 Dial is an improvement (it’s certainly not a backwards step IMO)

V4:
