I’m not worried lol. If it goes tits up it’s easy/cheap to repair. I was just pointing out the fact that the ‘custom A2121 movement’ claim from the factory is bullshit, it’s a stock miyota 9015 with the the quickest date gear removed, a different rotor and a capped seconds pinion. Even still, it’s a great attempt by XF
Did these modifications help in making the movement thinner.
The capped pinion helps as the crystal can be seated closer to the dial without a seconds hand. Not sure if the rotor is thinner than a stock one to be honest, looks about the same.

Amazing information! I had no clue it was a stock miyota with one gear removed. That'd be very pertinent information for my watch maker when I bring it in for servicing.
So the miyota 9015 is a movement used in ultra thin applications I'm guessing?
Yes that’s all it is. XF have finished the movement with Geneva strips and perlage also, the finishing isn’t a stock miyota finish.
Yes the 9015 is 3.9mm thick.

I’m sure your watchmaker would take a look and know what’s going on.

Hello community! Sorry for noob question but how to manually wind this watch? In crown position 0? As I understand it has 2 positions in total - regular and for time adjustment and date is also adjusted by hour hand?
I’ve never owned a watch that couldn’t manually wind in the 0 position of the crown.
I’m assuming this watch is no different but again, I could be wrong.

Almost any watch with a mainspring can be manually wound in the first position, some require an unscrewing of the crown and others not. Depending on the actual movement, positions 2/3 serve different functions like date and time adjustments but position 1 is almost exclusively for winding the watch.

Hi, would you please tell me what type of oil have you used to lube the rotor bearing?

Looks like someone on Reddit posted their first IRL photo of the XF 15202 - https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/com...f_has_arrived/
Zoomed in - looks like the AP logo is a bit wonky (not straightened) but everything else looks on-point and great.
