What dial color did you get? It is a problem with the white...not sure about the blue version tho...
Mine from different lighting angles. Taken at 5PM, cool weather, no sun. Date on sigle digit is centered btws.
Yeh friend! Take the dial out, grab a tweezer and give it a slight adjustment... its a very minor flaw tbh and I can certainly live with it.
I say just open it up and play with the dial, if you f*ck up you can always order a new one

The word 'Automatic' is not centred on its backing plate on the rep. The fonts are a bit too low.

JF crystals on other AP models I've had have been surprisingly well made. I also know that Prolofs crystals are top quality. Given that APs don't have double AR, would you guys go for stock or a Prolof 2XAR please?
2XAr are the best I agree the gen doesn't have 2XAr . Prof xtal are top . It makes the watch dial look more beautiful imo

Think there is/was gen dial for sale in m2m ($1100). Rep hands are close enough. Don't even know if gen hands will fit miyota movement

I've been stalking the forums for a while now, and seeing all the pictures everyone is posting finally convinced me to pull the trigger on a blue dial 15400. I reached out to 2 TD's last night, and I'm messaging to make sure they have the latest "batch" of watches. I guess I have to place the order before I get any QC photos, which honestly makes me a little nervous, but if they are TD's I assume they can be trusted completely. I'm sure I'll need some advice when I get the QC photos just to be sure I am getting the "most accurate" watch I can, should i just post here (don't want to hijack a thread) or should I start a new thread (don't want to create a new thread if not needed)? This forum is amazing by the way!
TDs can be trusted in the sense that they are not going to steal your money. You pay them, they'll get you the watch.
Bear in mind that the 15400 is not a "super rep". They still haven't got the hour markers right on the blue dial. Even with its flaws it is still a beautiful watch and has to be seen in person to be appreciated.
If you can live with the flaws then it's definitely a good purchases.
Just to let you know, QC pics aren't allowed on the forum unless you are asking about a specific point. It's best to go through other QC pics and look at what other people have been asking about, and then checking to see if you can see the same problems with yours.
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.
