30/04/2020 : Li contacted right after I made the payment. Everything was confirmed within minutes using transferwise. Extremely good customer service.
He told me everything will be moving forward and to expect QC photos in 5-10 days. Exciting. :)

Can anyone answer these questions?
1. Lume indices and hand mismatch?
2. No royal oak engraving?
3. Dial and white paint not as vibrant as original?
Is this normal on a AAA rep?
Thanks

I don't understand the point of the cropping you did.

1. Check with the several topics about this release to see if it's how this release is or not
2. Where would you want a royal oak engraving ?
3. It's not an original, it's a rep

There's no such thing as an AAA rep, this is the type of wording used by scammers and low quality reps from DHGate or other markets.

I think you should ask it in the AP sub-forum,

But to answer your questions based on my knowledge;

1. The surface area of lume difference can result in different light absorption, it should look normal under sunlight or normal yellow light.

2. This is the RO extra thin? If im not wrong, the RO extra thin doesnt not have the engraving at the back.

3. Again, could be a lighting issue, but yea reps are never perfect, hence there are reps witer clone status and rep without.

Your best bet is to do research over and over and compare pictures from so many td's websites. Hope this helps.

Ok no worries.
Im just curious as it's my first rep buy.
I'm actually extremely happy at how impressive the watch is. Just a few questions because I'm not sure exactly how a high quality 15202 Jumbo is supposed to look atm.
Thank you both for you replies. Much appreciated.
Best regards :)

Sorry. The crop shots were to show that the indices etc were all even :)
Just curious as the original has an engraving on the back from what I've seen. Was just a few questions because it's my first buy and I wasn't sure what I should be seeing.

Thanks for your knowledge. Ah ok I thought it did have an engraving. Models you see for sale on chrono have a royal oak engraving on the caseback. Right where the numbers are on mine. It doesn't bother me at all. Ive already accepted the QC pics :)
Again. Appreciate the reply. Have a good one.

I went to see the chrono ones, it didnt have the royal oak engraving though, could there be different versions ? Haha i'm not too familiar with AP models, hope you enjoy your piece when it arrives!

There was an older model. Had AP on the 12. Not sure about that one. Right now the 15202 jumbo 39mm is the only one model type that I know of. I've since looked at the audemars piguet rep threads now. Turns out the ZF has the engraving of royal oak but the XF doesn't.
Thanks mate. I definitely will. :)

Lana contacted to tell me my item has been sent out and I can track it using a reference number.
I tried to track it but no information was received.
Not sure how to track my item... No tracking number. Just a reference number with nothing linked. I assume it hasn't gone in the system yet. I'll try again in the morning.

Yeah exactly. Takes a while for it to show up in the system. Give it a day or two. Due to the situation going on in the world right now all of the carriers are pretty.. "occupied" atm.

Yeh I can imagine they're chock a block right now. I been waiting on a cheapo watch and some other things for like 2 months on Aliexpress now. Some carriers are doing alright though. I got a more expensive watch and it's almost here within 2 weeks. Depends on who's working I guess haha.

[QUOTE=Opal_Oz;n8869362]1100 pm 6th May 2020 : QC pics received.
What do you all think? My only question is the indices lume
[/QUOTE]

This is an XF, a few known issues with this:
Indice / hand lume hue is inconsistent
Bezel screw fitment / edges not rounded
Dial is grey / blue - gen is more rich blue

That said, the XF is probably the most rounded 15202 rep ootb and you will be very happy with it. There is a comparison with JF and DC models here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...52804-royal-oak-15202-jumbo-showdown-xf-jf-dc

Yeh hopefully I get it. This is my first purchase so I'm still kinda paranoid. At the tracking stage now and I'm so confused why it says it's coming from Ryadh, Saudi Arabia and it's going to a different city then I live. Tracking is making no sense and I can't get a word out of Li or Lana whenever I ask important questions in regards to my order.
