Anyway it's an alltime classic watch – gen or rep. And with some proper selection as Daywatch told a real fine timepiece! I've ordered mine a week ago or so and are quite happy with the QC oics I received in the meantime. BTW: great side by side review!

AP Royal Oak 15400 Gen vs. Rep (BP) comparison

Hi, when you say the best would be to get the thinnest version available, you free to the New Myota or a new version?
Could you post a link where I can find the new or best version you recommend?
Thank you
Apart from the AP logo and the parallel bars that could be checked through QC could anyone confirm the only telling flaw is from the case back?
Also could anyone give a review for the leather straps for the new 15400 Miyota versions?

He means the Miyota version with the decorated movement. You can get it in the link below (or from any other TDs like Ryan, Ken, Toro...)

The biggest tell is the open caseback and the crystal (I recommend to get a double AR). But for rest, without a comparison side by side with a gen there is not many flaws...
The huge lume on the hour markers is the thing that have pit me off since it is so obvious and doesn't look as good.

Hi Tin, sorry if this is posted already but is there any reason why the Miyota doesnt come in a leather strap?

Simple, only Gen 15400 RG comes with leather strap (or RG bracelet).
All Gen 15400 SS come only with SS bracelet...

Wondering will JF do a version on the 15400? Understand that currently only noob and BP version.
Given JF current roll the ROOs. I certainly have high hopes if they should do a 15400.

i think the miyota s pretty solid ? hard to beat that competition, no?
only thing really left to upgrade is the movement, right?

excellent comparison, the most supprising part to me was the over detailed rotor on the rep and the simple mistake of the crown engraving which for a rep company you would think is one of the easiest things to get right ie not central or on the right way round.
All in all tho the gen and the rep look fantastic side by side, its just them gen touches like the way the links in the bracelet are machined so precisely that shows you why you pay them extra 1000's absolutely beautiful and congratulations in owning such a beauty.
