AP custom dials

If you’re after a custom color and print, the blue dial is ok but if you’re after accuracy (for any color at all), you may wish to avoid them.
Yeah I compared it to the the gen dial and realized it really isn't that good. I found out about dp dials and they make them for the 15450 so I'm probably going to go with that.

APSF 15450 + DP Dial Blue + Quick jump date mod
Not 100% gen-like but on the wrist it sure is a beauty

It’s not an APSF dial and it’s a custom one. The quality and accuracy of it both aren’t great.
i wouldn’t use DP dials as a benchmark for how good other dials are as they are also off in various details. I will in fact rate the latest APSF 15450 dials (for the silver and black that I’ve seen so far) with a higher score
But compared with the DP dials, the color and text print of this custom dial are visibly off for the models they are supposed to be used for.
No custom or aftermarket dials can be compared with the gen simply because the way they are made and the craftsmanship level are vastly different. APSF did a very good job for the latest dial iterations.

I am not surprised. There are many of these dealers/makers in the replica watch industry, here one day and gone the next. I think it is best to wait for a proven dealer/maker whose product is available from our Trusted Dealers or become a Trusted Dealer themselves. It takes time, which we have plenty of.
Hi Barry
DP dials are nothing mythical. They are just an aftermarket dial maker and the dials they make are nice to look at but don’t expect them to be like the gen. They have, like someone above said, stopped producing new dials and what you have are the remnant stock.
There are threads here where you can see the dials for the various models. I can help you order them as a favor as I’m making an order myself. But kindly do your research prior to ordering please thanks.
Thanks very much, since I asked the question I stumbled across a gen comparison with the ZF 15400 V1 I just bought m2m and the blue dial in my eyes looks the same, so no need for DP as I don't think it could be any closer. But thank you for taking the time to reply to me amigo.
As long as you like it, that is what is most important. Your eyes are always the final judge of your own watch. Don’t worry about what the rest of the world thinks.
Love the color of this blue. Best looking blue 15450 rep dial so far!APSF 15450 + DP Dial Blue + Quick jump date mod

Has anyone done a DP grey 15450 dial install yet? Keen to see that one.
