Comparison of Gen 15400 vs JF 15400

[jakekrait]

Added thickness is on the gen not the rep, and yeah it's on the bottom

Are you sure? Gen is just 9.8mm thick. While Rep is 10.5mm (according to online sources - I don't own the watch).

Rep is thicker than Gen he is wrong only the 15202 quartz rep has the same thickness.

A gen blue is almost always 3-5K more than the other colors, so that a dial is twice the price is no wonder. As for the gen movement, I was not aware that these were easy to come by. I have found a lot of movements, but it's always the 2120 so no date.

JF 15400 Miyota 9015 movement in my opinion is most reliable movement you can get with AP rep!

Hello Tosoboso, thanks for your info. I have the origina movement, the original black dial and I can buy a set of original hands. I just eanted to know if this would fit in any of the cases of the reps. As I have that sitting on a box, i was thinking of making a franken, but I dont know if it's possible.

A few people have fitted a gen dial to a JF watch but I don't know whether gen movement or gen bracelet will fit.

Even if they gen bracelet did fit, the end-link connection may not look 100% right in terms of fit and finish (might require some modification to lugs and or endlinks).

Good luck

+1 - I still haven't decided against trying to fit a 3120 in a JF case (with an AP dial of course) but what mech500 is saying is absolutely valid - the AP bracelet end links are definately not a straight swap with JF's ones. It might even be that the crown will not be a straight fit as Slaughterer62 pointed out a few weeks ago. So many unknowns...

Sorry I have to chip in here. I put a JF gold theme bracelet on a gen AP gold theme without any gaps or modifications needed.
Can't speak for the 15400 but I had the same experience with a JF bracelet and a GEN black themes (all black).

I can see that the added thickness is in the case back and not the mid case. Very interesting.

hello guys,
I currently own a 15400 blue dial TF, and I have recently made an AR treatment in some local lab., result is great,despite a very noticeable hint of blue, AR is compared to my UN Noob factory, and to some Omega PO having already an excellent AR from factory.
I will shortly receive also 15400 white and black dial, JF this time..let's see if any AR is needed..

I bought JF 15400 RG with black leather strap around 7-8 month ago. It has Miyota 9015.
I have never worn it outside because rotor was too noisy. It's so noisy with lousy cheap spinning sound.
Maybe it was bad luck. However, I saw some people in this forum with the same issue.

Is it still noisy with V2 white dial one?

On the other hand, V7 Driver with 2824 movement I have is perfect.

I second this question by @flyingMD. Also: can the rotor be silenced effectively?

Are you sure? I think one of the reasons for so many 'dumb' questions being asked is the terrible search option. It just doesn't work very well. If I search for "silence rotor" this thread is displayed among others.

I searched "silencing" and scrolled my way down to this https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/silencing-the-miyota-rotor-on-ap-jf-15400.329209/
