I read somewhere that the supplier of OMF and JF bracelets is the same. Of course this is not official information. But I would go JF of course. I actually prefer mine on the leather strap. :)

Yeah, strap all the way =) specially if it's in RG. It would be a quick tell if you handover your 15400 to anyone with a GEN of this model because of the weight =)

Haha. So I emailed Li from JTime. He said JF and ARF are out for the moment now, just said they’re in some trouble... not raid. Hopefully they’re alright and come back soon!

Hi guys, I’m sorry to be a bit lazy with readings and digging search, but where can I send my watch to for thinning case if I’m in US???

Wonderful, detailed and informative review thank you OP! One of the best I’ve read in a long while.

@atozzotas
The OMF dial emulates the 2018/2019 J/K series dial (though not 100%) and the JF dial emulates the 2015-2017 H/I dial colors (at least 2-3 different shades in the gen). Both are correct in their own ways.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I understood that, in the genuine version, there is a different color of blue on the basis of the year of production? thanks for the explanations.

You understand correctly. There are at least 3 shades of blue on the gen 15400 depending on series that I’ve seen. There could be more but my knowledge is not all-encompassing.

Love the bracelet so much. Didn’t realize it was difficult to swap from the leather strap, I tried it at home with the kit they sent along.... got a few scratches on the case now :( took it to the watchsmitch to size it for me, guess it was so smooth he thought it was a real one and told me not to screw it up cuz it’s a great watch haha

Any watchsmith worth his salt will be able to tell that the watch is rep, from the lack of weight on the rep, the poor movement decoration and of course all the other tells.

But I do agree with you that it’s a nice looking watch. Nothing with being an AP or looking very different from one but a cool novelty piece on the wrist all the same. Congrats and wear it well!

Is the picture wrong or is the bracelet wrongly mounted? The AP logo should be "normal" and not on the head? :D

Yes, sir. I shouldn’t really got over my head and said that... I went to a jeweler to have him resize it for me... I wonder if he knows, or he was saying it regardless knowing it’s a rep haha
