Comparison of Gen 15400 vs JF 15400

[rcom440]

the blue dial is way off compared to the gen. I have compared the two side by side. the gen has bold solid white AP inscriptions and very solid minute markers. the blue dial on the gen is almost as dark as black and is matte in finish while the rep has a constant sunburst reflection to it and the color is too light. they only look similar in pictures but it's worlds apart in real life. I suggest you wait for v3 since JF factory just got a gen blue dial recently.

If you compared 2 side by side why didn't you take pics?
I've heard that this BS many times on this forum: "I compared 2 side by side" but I didn't take pics. Sorry mate but if you don't show pic it doesn't mean much.

I've seen blue 15400 just once in AP store in Miami and color looked pretty much same or very close as JF. Crystal seemed different. Gen crystal reflect more light so changing to 2AR will make rep look less gen like.

one more thing if you look at gen blue dial in bright light it will look light blue.

I'm in the middle of placing the order, we'll see how it goes. Besides thinking that the blue dial is beautiful, one of the reasons I chose that one was because I've read in quite a few threads that the "newer" blue dial is very close to the gen. I think the white and silver are too much bling for my taste as a first rep watch, but the Royal Oak is simply elegant and beautiful in any color. I couldn't wait, decided to buy one, if the v3 is that much better when it arrives, I have a feeling I'll offload this one and buy the v3. I'll be sure to post pics when I get them. Thanks for the input though!

I compared it at the authorized dealer so how would you expect me to take pictures with the rep on my wrist?
Unless there are two version of blue dials then I am sure it is totally different.
The gen one blue dial I saw was more like a matte and dark turquoise and the inscriptions are solid white.
The JF inscriptions are very pale and weak and not really legible.
This is the most accurate representation of the blue dial I saw at the store.

When you said you compared them side by side I thought that was the case - you put them next to each other and examined both of them.

Don't bring any of your AP reps to AD. That's a big NO-NO.

Here are pics of blue JF with no filters that I just took.
If that's not close to gen blue color than I don't know what is.
You put them together in the same lighting they will look pretty much the same. Also blue next to yellow (gold) will look slightly different. It's an illusion.
And don't look at gen blue dial cideos on YouTube they are are slightly off and look too dark than in real life.

Exactly

Blue dial is much more rare in the gen world. It's boutique only. Definitely more likely to be called out by an AP guy. I sold my blue and have white dial incoming. Can't wait

As far as I remember, when it comes to white and black dial, they will just upgrade minutemarkers, Swiss made, and Audemars Piguet printing to make it more sharp. Color/shade of white and black dial will be the same as it's pretty accurate.
Blue color dial will be upgraded, I think they want to make it more dull less color saturated but we have to wait to see.
I'm expecting it to be pretty good because they have gen blue dial for the reference.

There's no V3 the current one still V1 updated logo, JF bought Gen Blue 2017 , will see real v2 everything match Gen , Angus announced they will Upgrade only Blue Dial , in fact JF not replicate without Gen I'm sure 100% will see V2 completely new watch

They will update dial, thickness of the watch will be the same so everything won't match gen - you will have to wait for that long-long time.

the thickness of the watch won't be changed. Date font isn't a big issue anyway.
I'm not sure where you get your info but do not go by what is published on Bus.

Remember when you were saying Nautilus will be released in April?
