Gray dial just arrived. Iphone pic, but Dial is actually okay for the experience of it even though it isn't gen-like.
My date sits a bit high but I'll be adjusting that when I install the genuine dial soon.
I did look into it. Was really tempted between CW12 or Mint Blue PRX. Didn't get to try on CW12, but Tissot was wearing a little big on my wrist. Yesterday, Tissot just released a 35mm version, so I think this will suit me better on my chicken wrist.

I had the chance to install the gen 15451 dial into the IPF last night. It was a straight fit.
I took a look at the date disc and the dates 12-17 sit a bit high and the rest of the dates sit perfectly straight. Not a huge deal for me.
However what I do NOT appreciate is that the case design is similar to the JF 15450 design (and BP) where the bezel is press fit and the bezel screws aren't like gen where they help to anchor the case back screws as one whole piece. The pics at the end show that the back screws just screw straight into the midcase, and there is a spacer for the movement (yuck). The gen dial has a small bit of play in the case compared to the IPF dial, probably a tad smaller. I wonder if the APSF case is like this or like gen?
That being said the gen dial looks great, very happy with this.

Genuine dial makes a world of difference... I think I'm still going to stick with APSF on this one, looks a tad betterI had the chance to install the gen 15451 dial into the IPF last night. It was a straight fit.
