yep the lume markers are green on the rep XF, gen is pure white just like XF hands. the color is slightly off, the gen dial color is very difficult to replicate accurately, having said that the JF dial atleast in pictures may be closer to gen in terms of color

I'm planning to dismantle both JF and XF later.. I'm using the XF as a base for a franken 5402 build, and I was planning to convert the JF into a somewhat "hybrid" 15300 (the genuine 15300 is 9.5mm thick, and the JF case at 9.7mm is a near perfect case for it.)
I can try and get caliper measurements of the JF dial and XF dial. Unless theres a huge difference in the thickness I imagine it should be an easy swap... since both use Miyota 9015.
JF and XF dial colors are NOT comparable. JF replicated mark 1 dials, while XF dis mark 3. Both are pretty close to the version they’re based to, having seen both gens.

Thanks for the insight, this is fantastic information to lend some clarity to the differences between the XF and JF dial.
I vaguely recalled that these were based on different versions of the 15202 but couldn't find the specific details.
In my review I actually don't compare them against each other, nor have I said either one is better than the other. I only tried to objectively highlight the details of each individual dial, since they are quite different.

Still the old fat version with wrong date font and pizza pinion.
Interesting find, this could a new JF 15202 v2 which they desperately need to ward off the competition. Where did you see or read that it has a height of 8.3mm? Thanks.
use your eyes mate - it's the same watch they released in the first run. nothing is updated it still looks wrong in many ways.
Doesn't look very thin to me thou. I guess XF for 15202 still is the closest to gen in terms of thickness
Hey there everyone,
First of all thanks a lot for this review.
I had two questions :
1- Would you trade a 15400 for this and why ?
2- Would any of you guys consider using a rubber bracelet on that one ?

THANK YOU for this great review!
May I ask you, did you also measure the case diameter of them?
Are they all exactly 39 mm?
1) I actually am trying to sell my 15400 for this as one its much thinner then the 15400 and at 39mm its more manageable then the 15400 41mm
2) The RO bracelet is part of the reason most people buy into an AP Royal Oak so I would not put it on a rubber bracelet
1. I personally would, they're different case diameters and I prefer 39mm to 41mm
2. nope, bracelet all the way
No problem bro
I actually did not check the exact case diameter, I will update tonight!
