Thank you Phantom, for the compliment, but I think your thread has made many people smile. And appreciate the 15400 for what it is - the class act that started it all

Oh my!!! Can someone hand me a hanky since i a drewling here.. What a superior collection! And the jacobs straps on these tow watches makes it all perfect! I now know what i have to do... spend more money LOL
My dad just bought the gen yesterday, it came on a brown strap, he's waiting for black to come through... no idea why you'd put a black dial watch on a brown strap!!
Got some shitty iPhone pics and vids quickly yesterday, it's obscenely nice, shines like nothing I've seen before!
OMG... I want this one even more seeing that the phantomtech modded 15400 and the gen look so much alike. I am only postponing the 15400 buy based on the long awaited J12 15400. Probably eventually they will make it but when is the main question???
Wow. That is awesome.
I think I have to seriously think about one of these. I have a gen SS 15400 and have fallen for the RO when I thought I could never look at anything other than the ROO.
Rose, black dial and strap with rose deployment - that's my no 1 combination.
It's hard to replicate the RG with just a plating...if you've ever seen the gen, how does it compare color wise? Weight wise?
In my mind, the weight would be very noticeably lighter for the rep than the gen, but it might not be as noticeable since there's a strap instead of a bracelet.
If you don't mind me asking, what specific services did you have done on your 15400s (and/or which ones did you do yourself if any) and how much in total did they cost you everything said and done?
I'm looking to get a solid 15400 for myself and if I can spruce it up to the caliber of the ones you have I would be more than satisfied!
Thanks Phantom for the inspiration. I will call it the Phantom when I finish. Had the watch serviced, Domi crystal installed, rep straps sent to Spain and just paid Jacob. 192 Euros for a strap. Fecking worth it. Its been a long journey.
