Are all the good AP 15400 MIyota Best Edition Gone
- Thread starter drrolex2015

What is the logic of putting a desirable watch on sale and then not having any stock of it? I am switching my order. With this trend, we will not see the TF 15400 again until August.
I placed my order and sent payment for the TF Decorated Miyota Silver Dial on Bracelet on May 26 the day after the prices were reduced. I was told the delay was the Bracelets, and that leather strap versions were available, but I only wanted the bracelet version. I waited until June 15th, then changed my order for another piece because my TD told me the factory makes promises they cant keep and he thought they might be available by the end of the month or even longer...I checked with my TD again yesterday, and was told "at least a few more weeks". I just received the watch that I changed my order for.....But I still want the damn 15400!!! and now I have to get to the back of the line.
Not entirely sure what the protocol is with QC here but I Waited until I got home from work to look over my QC on my iPad. unfortunately I rejected the set I got, there were a few things that once seen couldn't be unseen. I see this watch being one of the keepers and I want a good copy. I'm not usually fussy with my watches but I feel this is a watch that I need to be right.

What were the issues that caused you to reject the QC pics? Would help the rest of us as we all await our QC pics.....
I ordered a AP RO 15400 with blue dial, miyota (best edition) from Toro. Said that SS bracelets were missing, waited for them, he said it would come back in stock 15th of june, and now that the new batch should come 20th june or at the end of this month AT LATEST. So now Im just waiting. If I get an update saying there wont be any more 15400s out before august - ill ask for a refund and get a panerai or skeleton ap in RG from kuvarsit.
The markers at 12 were like an upside down 'v' (exaggerated), the gap was larger at the bottom than the top and The marker at 3 position by the date window was skewed, this was the most noticeable as the window is there for reference so you can't help but notice. I did a quick read up on the markers as to if I could just edge it straight a degree or two but I don't think it's as simple as that from what I read, I read that they're not just glued on but are located via two holes- not sure how much truths to that though

After getting additional close ups of the markers I have now gone back and accepted the watch , perhaps I was being a little picky yesterday when I saw them. Can't expect 1:1 quality when the cost is like 1:100 . These are my accepted QC on my watch , hope I'm okay to post them here.
I've seen much worse - and of course no guarantee that the new batch will have fixed the issues.After getting additional close ups of the markers I have now gone back and accepted the watch , perhaps I was being a little picky yesterday when I saw them.
