Interesting find. It seems they added the extra hand in the 12 o'clock sub dial for the quarterly month indicator. Also, the week indicator does not appear to be moving in the pictures. Could either be they didn't wind the watch before pictures or this has a fixed or working week indicator. Too bad about the 12.5mm thickness. Maybe a movement swap into the APSF case?

Thanks tangokilo Indeed. The 12.5mm thickness makes it a no-go. A movement swap could be an option but, again, the thickness issue will remain even with a APSF case. And if you want the gold version (as I do) then thinning might not be an option. I had Slaughterer thin my 15400 (SS) but a RG one? Has anyone done it?
I’ve thinned JF 15400s to about 9.8-9.9mm. No issues.

I’m sorry I meant to say RG 15400 from JF. My bad for missing the crucial information out.

It's fucked sadly.

Here you can see the week indicator does everything but indicating the week.
The bezel is way too thick and the inner ring as well. You'd probably not only have to thin down the case but also the inner weekring. I'm no Modder myself but that seems almost impossible. But why is it so thick? Doesn't is use the same movement? Maybe we wait on more APSf releases.

This thread is becoming confusing as you guys are talking about two different factories. This started with APS and some links show the BP….

Let it be, can be a consolidated perpetual calendar rep thread discussing the various models. I don’t see it as an overly popular model so if anyone takes time to look at the links posted he will be able to differentiate them.

I am hoping for a black ceramic version I saw BP but it’s the best friend fat chick version

Hopefully they will make the black one very soon! I would be satisfied not buying another watch after that.
Ahaha you make me laugh!
The Gen is 9.5 mm thick, so the new BP Factory being 12.5 mm thick is a good 25 % more.....
