188 dollars for a new clasp lol

depends if the finish on the bracelet is any better. I've found the previous bracelets very disappointing, I put the v4 in my parts bin and bought a rubber B.

V4 was crap compared to the V2 i have here, 15202 uses the same bracelet the finish is maybe more gen but the quality sucks i agree with you, but i dont think that (if you look at the pictures of the V5) the new bracelet will be better seems like to have the same quality issues.

Nearer than you think
another unjustified price increase.
just like the GMT noob V9, an increase of price of around 20% without any substantial improvement, it's not ok for them to do so, almost looks like they are artificially pumping up prices

Everyone discussing bracelet finishing and engraving under the clasp. Here I am saying "Umm, isn't the tapisserie completely different versus gen?"

And is that not still the case with any JF 15400? Or have they finally got it?

V5 = 15% increase of the price from V4 + “PIGUBT” on the movement (bad) + mis-aligned clasp (bad) + deeper engraving on clasp (good).

Tapseries is the same as v3 and v4 it has still shitty printing (yes the first batch will be good then they run out of inc and it looks shitty) and still the "curve" around the plate with audemars piguet printed on, no idea what is updated there? The video shows the exact same tapseries like before hm.

Will they ever fix the Pigubt spelling error? I know its an "E" but how hard you can fuck up an engraving...

V5:

V4:

Hm is RWI blocked at youtube? Normally it should show the youtube video but it says "not available" but ofcourse it is:

Edit: the youtube function is broken guys, it makes "video=youtube" and not "video=youtube_share" thats why it was not working, fixxed it per hand.

Based on the screenshots the lines running on the tapisseries on the V5 is more horizontal than vertical compared to the V4.
