Yes at least 3 different shades but not based on year but on series. H and I have the same color, late I series has a transition blue tone and J onward another different blue (and the nicest IMHO)

“Big boss” is taking it way too far (I’m a regular member with an opinion like you do) but yes I do think it is the best replica of the 15400 yet. Or at least, all things considered, I like it the best.

Waiting for the white dial. Was going to order a JF V5, but might wait for this one now. Looks good :)

I think each has their own strengths.

JF with its all-around good finish, considering it's on V5, and decent dials. The 3 hour marker is usually misaligned though.
Z+F has a better rotor color and closer thickness to gen. Dial colors except blue have yet to be seen. I don't see any misalignment of markers.

Both of them have 12 markers that aren't like the gen, and the printing isn't thick as gen, so there's minor flaws in both.

The rotor color of Z+F is only noticeable if you inspect the back of the watch which never happens, and anyone pretending it is real will be able to see the miyota movement anyway.

I think both are good choices. And one isn't a better choice than the other necessarily. If you use both of them a base watches for frankens then there is no difference, in my opinion.

That would be a fantasy watch.

edit: Forget me I was thinking this was the 15202 thread :)

Aaand here we go, ZF killed it. JF really needs a upgrade now if they still want to be in the market for APs 15400
