how it compare with ur 26331stYesterday I measured the thickness of my newly received APSF 15450 with my caliper and I can confirm it's 9.9 mm thick.
Hehe, night and day, ofc. 26331 is a big beast on my thin wrist, while 15450 (after @legend's spa) is a beautiful sporty dress watch. APSF 15450 is also a very well-crafted rep imho, worth every cents.
For every watch there is, it takes the right kind of owner to pull it off.
You’re obviously one of the AP wrist models in our community sir
Hi Legend. Im building a 26320 with CNC case, gen mvm, gen dial. Could u recommend any mod could make it better? polish, coating ...
Gen hands are recommended and of course the usual fitment and finishing jobs.
No. Because for the gen the edges are also sharp and hard. There is a specific technique used to finish and bevel the edges especially.
A lot of guys simply look to “refinish” their APs without knowing what a gen one should look/feel like, intimately so.
APs finish their watches a lot different from Rolex ones and the sharp edges, defined bevels and specific interval brushing are all part of the DNA.
In fact a lot of the rep APs which are churned out from the factories are close to the gen finish. They just need to be refined as opposed to being totally redone or redefined.
A pictorial comparison. Only one gen watch part is visible. I wonder if anyone can figure it out in this low quality pic
i wanna build 15202 too. but the dial price is so highA pictorial comparison. Only one gen watch part is visible. I wonder if anyone can figure it out in this low quality pic
15400 is great too. Very nice collection bro
Thanks. My 15400s are actually 15450s. If you accept a compromise then you can try the latest DP 15202 dial. Some modders like @legend can attenuate its sunburst. However, if you want to imitate the deep blue version of the gen 15202 dials then you may need to stick to XF/ZF dials or search for other alternatives. Ofc, nothing will compare to gen.i wanna build 15202 too. but the dial price is so high
nice how much was the gen dial and how’d you find it? looking to do the same thing.
The whole modded watch was USD 5+k via M2M. I guess your best chance of procuring a gen blue 15450 dial is to ask TDs or WeChat sellers dealing with modding, too. Anyway, the color of the blue DP 15450 dial looks very convincing to me. Imho it could be a good alternative.
I'm seriously considering the APSF 15450 White dial based on Gabriele75rn opinion. I intend to wear without further mod. Does any one else have opinion on this APSF White dial before I buy? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
