I'm probably going to replace the bracelet on mine since the gap on my upper end link is too wide for my liking, but overall I think they did a splendid job on this. It's not perfect but it's worth the $500. I had the white markers on my QC btw.

Does anyone know if a JF bracelet fits on this?

I noticed that the hour markers 4 & 5 are thicker than the rest of the markers....that's not normal is it?

I think it looks really great! Markers look awesome. Do you have any of your QC-pic to share as well on the dial?

I'm not sure if it's a QC thing, a XF thing, or a 15202 thing - but the only gripe I have is the bracelet: it just doesn't feel that good compared to my JF 15450. I also have a $120 DHGate 15450 which has a bracelet that feels better than this. The 15450 bracelet is obviously going to be more solid due to thickness, but this XF 15202 definitely has more play to it than I would like. The gaps between the links also seems a bit more uniform in my 15450s - on the 15202, you can tell there's slightly wider gaps at both the end links and at the links connecting the buckle. I haven't seen a 15202 in real life, but the pictures I've seen online led me to believe they should be more uniform.

I still stand by my statement earlier that the end link gap is something to pay close attention to during QC - I understand that there is a gap in the gen but some of the gaps in QCs that I've ran across have been inconsistent and wider. I still GLed mine knowing that my top SEL had a wider gap and it isn't enough to sour the purchase for me, but it is something to be aware of.

Reading some of the posts from a few weeks back from the first people who got them in hand and it looks like John327 's experience matches my own.

wow great info.. the play is visible even on the video.. saw it -but didnt pay attention since in my mind i had the 15450 bracelet.. waiting for others to confirm cause ap bracelets are half the beauty of the entire watch

Hi guys,

I just received my QC pictures for 2 pieces of the watch. Each watch I circle where I felt might be an issue. It’s my first Watch that I Qc myself and will appreciate everyone here for the feedback.

However both watch have a similar issue which is the different lume colors was an obvious.

Here’s the pictures

Watch 1

The lugs go seems to be uneven, is it acceptable?

5pm screw seems to be too deep in

1pm screw too deep in

Watch 2

825c41a0bc825dd1bcc594e17b215b71.jpg


The color of the bracelet at the circle part seems to be “rusted” or have some brown coloring. Should I ask for a clearer picture?

Gap of the bracelet seems to be much wider than the first watch.

8pm screw is too deep in

bc2a0b19c7436d34e4d4998defcba5b7.jpg


Not sure if it’s my eyes playing tricks on me but seems like watch two “piguet” fonts seems to be uneven.

For the screws can our TD does the adjustment instead of me rejecting?

I am kinda sad the lumes color are not aligned, I would have thought I gotten the same batch as the others. :(

Nevertheless any feedback on what I found or more will be deeply appreciated.. thanks!

I would say both your watches were good enough to accept. The small issues you find (if they even are issues) are so small that you will find at least as many flaws on your watch 3, 4, 5 etc...

Hey guys just received my QC pictures from puretime, my concern is the AP logo not centered?, and the blue dial looks lighter and more grayish than the other v2 here. What do you think

What about the dial color doesn’t look different from the other watches?
