Bought and received my first rep from an online dealer.

AP15202 Royal Oak
Case: 39mm
Thickness: 8.8mm (Gen is 8.2mm)
Factory: TF (i think)
Dial: Blue
Movement: Miyota

Caveat Emptor: Wrong rotor, no lume between "A" and "P" on the dial logo.
Aware of these 2 major issues, but still went ahead with the purchase because of the thinness.

Bracelet: Stainless steel. Looks good from pictures but actually quite stiff, and the brushed finishing feels rough to touch. This was explained by the dealer before the purchase.

On the wrist: overall the watch is very comfortable to wear with its thin profile

FatPanda over at RWG. No website, just have to send him a message.
This is the same watch reviewed by DC in the other post: "AP 15202: a pair of auto Jumbos"

I wish they corrected the date font at least, it would make the watch, even given all the other flaws, an easier pill to swallow.

Not just the above issues you've highlighted mate.

3. Added minute track on 3 o clock, wrong DW position
4. Wrong dw font
5. Hands and hour markers too thick compared to gen

Its real pity rep factory didnt bother to innovate the DW to be at the correct position. But I guess they wanted to manufacture this asap after attaining gen sample since its big money for rep business.

Here are some gen for your reference.

By the way, the AP logo is crooked as well. Might want to reposition it.

Maybe not related directly with the topic but KW is working on a new 15202 with miyota based new movement, which will be very close to the gen, if they succeed

I would like to let go of this piece.
I guess the novelty wears off and I dont find myself wearing this watch at all. In fact, I stopped wearing this watch after I made this post.

Any takers?
Is there a particular platform on this RWI forum to sell?
