Thanks for sharing the link, it made me aware of a new model, the 15510ST. This model is an ergonomically improved version of the 15500ST and is available with a green dial.

what has been ergonomically improved ?

Is it me or is the date font way too thick? Comparing to ZF and gen, the ZF seems a lot more accurate.

Where I need to be.

Yes the date seems to be poorly printed, but considering how small it is in real life, I will take this over the ZF Miyota one any day, if only for the instant date change.
One pet peeve of mine resolved, and this may actually be the watch to get me to wear rep APs again. I have to see and feel it in person though.

Can also be the sample watches who's got badly printed datewheel.

Btw, I got quoted 2550cny for this one
$380 seems like too good a price to be true. Unless I converted that wrong.

Man, no way it will cost 380 USD.

If all stated on PT website is true, price for those will be at least 600-700 usd IMO.

According to an article from masterhorologer.com, subtle changes were made on the case and thinner bracelet links.

Looks to be available in the usual black/blue/grey/white and a new green.

Changes on the dial too. The AP logo is removed, and the indices are longer, almost as long as the 15400's, but still fat like the 15500's. I do like the sportiness of the 15500 from the shorter indices, but my gripe with it is that the shorter indices and lack of "automatic" creates too much dead space in the bottom center of the dial. I'll miss the AP logo, but the longer indices shrink that dead space a bit. I think it's a wash for me. The 15500 is certainly the sportiest of the three. Wonder when we'll get the 15510 rep out.

I’ve already ordered one from Eric, price he quoted was $508. I will post QCs when I get them. He said it should take around 2 weeks.

Hi guys, all 3 colors are listed on Puretime for pre-order at $518, which is not far from the ZF Miyota V2 price.

Indeed, at first glance the date appears to be poorly printed and bolder than the ZF version. I made a quick comparaison but those are just pictures and does not reflect the real finishes. As legend rightly pointed out, one need to compare between two actual objects to have a better judgment on dial and overall finish.

On the picture you can easily notice the difference in date printing. But this is kind of zoomed in so maybe it will not be noticeable on the wrist.

Cheers.
