Best Royal Oak 37 mm 15450 Replica ?

[swing69]

Hello Folks,

Looking fo the best Royal Oak 37 mm 15450 Replica in blue dial today, i read a lot about 15400 (41mm) and the 39 mm XF 15202, but almost nothing about the 15450 (37mm) which i think will probably fit the best my 6 inch wrist.

Any feedbacks, any wrist shots ?

From what I have read so far, there is only the JF making the 15450, but it’s a fatty.

There are a few threads on here that go into detail on the 15450, well worth a read. Here are a couple of shots of mine (on a 6 inch wrist).

Agreed, but the thickness is ~1-2mm thicker than Gen. This doesn't bother me but some don't like it.

I like how it fit on you, and seems good quality rep, had you note any flaws on that model ?

I've read some posts where thick reps are sent to the watch makers here who grind the watch down. Might be a consideration.

Yeah I've read the same too. However, I believe some of the posts stated that there was still a lottery in how much to can be ground down.

Is that really matter ? I can understand those who can be very Picky with replicas, but to me grinding 1 or 2 mm is useless

1-2mm makes a huge difference in how a watch wears. Think about the difference of a royal oak offshore rep vs a submariner. I slimmed my 15400 by about 1mm and the difference is very noticeable. Might not be for everyone but I highly recommend it if you have the tooling or want to send it out.

Is the blue dial on the 15450 flawed? Looks very dull blue to me. Not sure if gen is the same kind of blue for this model.

Anyone can clarify on this? Never seen a Gen 15450.

I've never seen a Gen 15450 either but my rep appears more dull than the Gen images/videos online. It'd still a nice rep, the polishing is good and it catches the light beautifully.

Are these 15450 readily available, or is there a TD that has this one for sure?

 

[mpx]

Should still be available. I'm also just in the process of ordering one from JTime and Li hasn't told me anything that it shouldn't be available anymore.

Is Jtime reliable and fast shipment compared to Puretime?

 

[mpx]

My only purchase from Puretime was during the Corona crisis, so the feelings have been mixed, but that would have been the case with any TD. Both, Puretime and JTime, were always nice and fast in communication. But for future purchases I will probably stick with JTime as I prefer the payment options offered there. Paying with a credit card is just way too expensive and I'm not big fan of Bitcoin.

I have received my blue JF 15450 with the updated dial. I think the previous versions of the Blue dial has the better colour, as the sunburst in the updated one is too dull and weak as I suspected. Probably Black and White dial would be a better choice if trying to get the most gen like look.

also the thickness of my 15450 jf measured at 10.7mm. Pleasantly surprised, as I was expecting 11.5mm as advertised.

I have a small wrist , is it better this Than 15400?

If your wrist is around 6.5 then yes

 

[RedBearrd]

Having a small wrist myself , I can confirm the 15400 is over sized.
I could make XF’ 15202 work but cannot stand having no second hand. Hoping JF or maybe ZF will make an updated 37mm
