That is a wonderful philosophy to adopt in the rep hobby, to be able to enjoy it to the fullest.
I have an even smaller wrist, and I feel like the 37mm is tiny. It wears similar to my wife's DJ36... weird! Either way, I think I need to go back to the 15202, I was so excited for this watch!
Agreed, bars don't seem parallel
You can’t tighten an AP bezel screw that way. In fact they are decorative bolts and not screws per se. They need to be adjusted from the caseback for a proper construction AP case. Not sure if the screws on this is even adjustable.
So are both IPF and APSF applying the same case construction with fake bezel screws?
I’m not sure about APSF but definitely for IPF.
Unfortunately I haven't heard any news or rumours about parts makers planning to produce better custom dials for 15450. Perhaps forum members being in inner circles may know some info about it. I myself don't expect better 15450 dials coming soon from rep watch factories though. I hope I'll be wrong.
Look in the Alpha Modding (AMF) website in the Trusted Dealer section. There's a thread, with pictures, regarding their JF AP 15450 modification that includes replacing the dial with a gen one and other improvements. I'm sure they can do something with the APSF version as well.
The screw housings and screws are both fine. Please don’t be too pedantic. This is a replica and the bezel screws are totally fine.
