OM looks like a good rep!!

Is it better than JF? Maybe in some aspects but not overall

Best combination to my eyes is JF watch with OMF blue dial and OMF caseback. I can’t live with JF print and can’t live with OMF date font.

Question now is, will the omf dial fit and allign with JF counterpart.

i remember someone put in a TF dial into a JF piece a while back, but required some mods to make it work.

looks like a contender datewheel aside !

Seems like it... wish someone would put some calipers on both cases. Otherwise the finishing seems to be comparable. The OMF bezel and caseback seem slightly thinner than JF but still generous compared with gen.

Tap looks less pimply for the new RG black & white dials. Is it just me?

Don't think it's just you. I also noticed it. Along with much better SWISS MADE just like the OMF. Might be a new dial coming soon to JF 15400 V6 :p Followed by a V7 release one week later with slimmer case :p

Whats interesting they use the new bezel from 2018/2019 i follow someone on instagram who is a huge AP fan and buys plenty of gen per month and you can really see that the bezels are sometimes completly different, sometimes the screws are in the middle sometimes they are more outside etc.

Very interesting.

Got another one. Can’t work out if the dial colour has changed compared to the one i posted earlier. The Tapp is nice. There’s a few gen blue batches and I loose track of the all.

The current JF blue dial is unwearable due to poor (non gen spec) printing and ugly pimples Tapp. OMF Dial looks much better to my eyes. JF and OMF bracelets are the same. The thickness is essentially the same (within manufacturing and assembly tolerances)...therefore right now OMF is king IMo (when it comes to steel 15400).

Still prefer the JF even if the blue color i nice, but the rest is off and unwearable, baton n' plate are a no go, Audemars Piguet isn't accurate.
Taste and color, it's just a personal opinion.
Btw KSwatches got a omf blue dial up for sale in eu if someone needs.

Actually the logo isn't accurate the writing is, it's the old pre 2013 version but with the wrong font :D
