IPF 15450

[Akilles]

So the QC arrived today. When I ordered I had no clue what the dial would look like as there where no pics avail.

For me, I can't accept the fact that the dial is far to bright compared to gen. You can se the Jtime has turned down the lighning a bit in the studio but still look bright.

The printing on the dial seem weak/dull while gen is crisp white. My current model has its flaws like date window and date font but it has a pretty good dial color which for me is most important.

The position of the IPF bezel screws looks a bit different. Do you think it's more gen like?

Sorry but that blue is ugly……your is much more better…… if photos reflect real ……
Don t care what is more gen like…..

Honesty dont know or care about the screws. They are so small but the blue color will for sure be visible for anyone who looks at the watch

The blue reminds me strongly of the also too pale and bright blue of the APS 15400 ;-)

I hope DP will make good custom dials for 15450, too. Is yours from the JF's old batch?

I think the watch itself looks great but the dial is very sub-par. The tapisserie is wrong, the color is wrong and the printing is washed out, too thin and grey looking. Perhaps they played with the light to make the dial a few shades darker and washed out the print at the same time, who knows. An aftermarket dial would do wonders for it.

I had the old JF 15450 actually and it was pretty good even if the printing was a bit weak. I preferred this one I posted even if some prob. would choose the JF

is mvm clone easy to maintain?

There's a difference between the cases as well. Look at the space between the edge of the bezel and the downward slope of the case. Neither of the two appears to be correct on this point when compared to the gen.

I love the maturation process of a new release.

- Finally, an amazing perfect replica
- Everyone getting in line to grab one
- There is this one thing
- Does this look right to you
- I hear there is an issue with
- I don't like how this looks
- QC looks nothing like the pre-release photos
- If you take 1/3 from this, 1/3 from that, 1/3 from the other.. and $1500 , you got the perfect one!
- So disappointed after it arrived
- We all feel like we are now owed money

Same exact thing with the 240 engraved plates, guilty as charged.

I get lost on so much of the detail like the stuff expressed in this thread. I just rely on AMF and ask for the Combo #10 , Extra Large, best available, then wear it with pride. lol. I'll get asked.. "so tell me about this one"? I can only reply " I know it's pretty!?!?" lol

after looking at gen pics for reference IPF seems to be closer to gen in this point though…

To make a counter argument, nitpicking is what these "new release" threads are for so people can make an informed decision on which flaws you are OK with. Or you can bank that knowledge and when someone asks if X is a good rep you can say, yes it's a good rep, these are the stand out parts and these are the issues. Personally I'd wear the hell out of this. I'm even wearing a quartz 15202 as it looks good and the dial gives me the fizz. Tons of issues with it but I'm OK with those.

My 6.5" wrist and I have been waiting for a decent 15450 for years. I hope this release is true.

there’s no doubt about it being true…
question is can you live with the flaws discussed on here

Once I have funds I'll grab a grey one, no doubt.

I feel personally attacked.

Because it's more like:

- Pre-release photos are pics of the gen
- Factory studio lighting looks okay enough I guess
- Why is the date off?
- QC looks like ass
- Video review: Oh no why did I even think I was going to buy this?
- Someone makes an aftermarket part
- Maybe I'll buy it
