Puretime has listed the thickness as 10mm, which is same as ZF Miyota version.

We need some of the resident AP Experts to weigh in on the case, dial color and detail, markers, lume, AP Logo, bezel screws and bracelet of this new KW/V6F version compared to the ZF Miyota version.

Puretime says the movement is based off the Miyota 9015, but with deco plates to be more Gen like to the AP 3120.

Enough prognostications on an upcoming release by KW. It is here and ready to ship. We need a detailed evaluation of the KW 15400 versus the current Best 15400 by ZF.

Lets assume that ZF Miyota version will reduce market pricing to compete directly with the new KW. If pricing is the same, which is now the BEST Version??

Looking at the side profile of this newer version compared with best edition Miyota, this newer version definitely looks thicker to my eye. Unless the crown on these are like half the size !

The V6 maker decorated plate looks much better than the JF 3120 on the GP.

Ap logo on dial for 'best edition Miyota' is hundred times better than the new KW.
With the exception of the back side, the 'best edition Miyota' is clearly the winner.
Btw, who is going to see the back side of the watch when you are wearing the wacth on your wrist !!??

no laser engraving in AP logo and its slanted as showed in puretime site, everything else seems no difference from previous miyota.
very tempting to get one back :)

the question for now, why is it cheaper?
simply doesnt make sense for me due to the demand for this is huge and the decoration is nearly similar to gen.
is this product is just a rehearsal of something else?

10mm is fantastic but the Internet is patient when writing something. Should the 10mm overall be correct (to be verified) than there is something wrong with the proportions of the upper bezel/center of the caseset in relation to the lower part. Taking the letters on the crown as reference in the lower pic the inferior part of the caseset looks like being roughly 1/2 the size of the letters.
In this first pic the lower part is almost as big if not bigger than those letters - confusing.
I´ll just wait for a members review, hopefully very soon:)

I'm almost ready to buy, but that slightly too large AP logo on the face is holding me off. Price is really nice though, hopefully it has the finishing and flexibility of the previous $400+ version.

I love this watch. Like many, I'm waiting for a 99% quality rep. So far I'm seeing 90% ish.
