AP 15500 41mm

[BIONONE]

Time to reinvent JFs Tapisserie technique... In the end the Swiss made is a bit bigger - easier to print but also easier to spot issues...

lets wait until we see this thing under real light

AP ruined the Royal Oak when they released the 15400 so this new release makes no odds to me!

Wish JF would release a 15300, that was a perfect watch!!!

This is more apealing to me. Now makes sense to own the 15202 and the 15500...

That was meant to be an emoji. It was "100%"

He's talking about with the 15400 the RO strayed from the classic RO that has been kept around the same since the beginning. Classic ones being 15202 and 15300 the 39mm cases

Should be easier for JF to print decent minute markers on the 15500.

Flaws of the current JF 15400 are:

Thickness > new 15500 is thicker, and JF basically already makes a case/bracelet that's gen spec to this new AP
Minute markers > since now they are printed outside the tapisserie, it should be easier
Swiss Made > probably will stil look bad

Looks good for a rep maker. Maybe the Date positions is a bit akward for a Miyota 9015.

Movement decoration, look like just a new rotor could do the trick

so the “AUTOMATIC” text is no more

Since they removed it we now have a tight empty zone and everything stacked at the 12 marker.
Would be better to replace automatic by ap logo or branding.

This 15500 seems very easy to replicate.

Chinese reppers should be thinking already on it

 

[Tigerdragon]

How they copied the indices from Hublot always funny to see.

For the rest, i find the 15400 better but maybe JF can rep the new one better.

 

[BIONONE]

Which model do you mean? Show me the copied hublot indices please

 

[Tigerdragon]

ofcourse not 100 % (would get sued for that) but check this:

Hublot Classic Fusion is selling very well so yeah there was another Hublot model with different indices (they pump out so much its hard to follow lol).

 

[BIONONE]

they literally just used refined 15703 indices that are already existing for a long time. i don't see the similarity as sticks are sticks...

 

[Tigerdragon]

lot of brands using fat markers now so seems like its a trend anyways.

This Royal Oak update looks alright guys. Their other recent offering CODE 11.59 looks like a Daniel Wellington / Michael Kors homage.
