Even with the gen dial the gen dw will not fit. It’s not about the position of the dw but rather the teeth mechanism is completely different and it’ll never fit either the A7750 movement or any LWO movement.

Couldn't you just shave the teeth and make it an overlay? I ONLY care about the date being centered in the window, not if the teeth will work with a movement.

well if you put it that way, yes it is entirely possible in theory..but it will be a colossal waste lol.

there was no white 15202 with the "modern" dial. Only a sportier, less classy version with the logo at 12 o'clock.

The factories however never released anything like it - only fantasy versions (like the white quartz version from sead).

Hey thank you for the very comprehensive review on this watch. Regarding this I decided not to buy the watch due to the very poor quality and this high price tag, I would’ve expected a little bit more than that.perhaps, and I really hope that for the future they’re coming up with a new version where they address all the issues and perhaps then I might be more keen to buy the watch.

Dang...

So if I were to get a gen dial, I'd be screwed as far as a date disc goes?

Guys, you do realise that the gen dial’s CP opening is tiny. Even if one is able to source a gen dial it will not work with any other movement but the cal 2121 unless you don’t care about drilling a huge hole in the centre of your rare gen dial which will immediately reduce it’s value to a couple of hundreds of Turkish lira :) Just my 2 cents

p.s. the datewheel diameters of the 2121 and 3120 are completely different as well. That’s if you’re ever able to find one, as those are harder to source than gen hands :(

Thanks for the review! I wish they would bring the 15202 in a new, better version. I like it way more than the 15400 because the proportions are like on the original Royal Oak. Also would fit better my wrist. Hopefully it comes one day, til this I´ll gonna go with the Nautilus. [h=1][/h]

I'll just add my two cents. I was actually surprised by the quality of the DC 15202. It needs some work, but it's a great piece for $120. I've sent mine off to Jonj480 for a rebrush to see if that improves the overall quality. I've compared it in size with the 15450 from JF and BP 15300.

No, the 15202 case back and bracelet are different dimensions to the 15400.

I'm hunting for a 15202 blue gen dial... Someday, maybe if i'm lucky :p (there is a black one on C24 right now)

15202 gen black dial doesn't exist ;-)
there was a gen 5402 dial for sale on c24 few days ago... but pricey...
