roseimperial nice. Let us know when it arrives. What flaws did you notice? Looks pretty spot on to me looking from my phone!
The main one is the 12 marker is misaligned. Not sure if it’s noticeable unless you zoom in, but one is straight and the other is crooked, leaving a slight “gap” towards the bottom of markers. I’m pretty sure I’m nitpicking but the QCs pics Andrew has on his website seem to not have this issue. I brought it up with him but he “scolded” me for nitpicking so I just accepted.
Remember that this is a rep, and having perfectly straight markers all round the dial won't make it a gen.
Try to be realistic in your expectations, or the dealers are apt to get impatient eventually.
I think your watch looks fine and nice, by the way. Congrats and enjoy it!
I like the updated dial printing and even the rose gold color looks nice.
Of course the hands remain an instant tell but I have said before that imperfections considered, the rep JF 15400 remains a practical replacement for the gen in real life.
Happy to see progress in JF’s releases.

Nice watch! Will likely pull the trigger on one myself here shortly. But I have to ask...is it just me, or does it appear as though the gold has quite a bit of high and low spots? i.e. on the side of the casing next to the crown. Or on the clasp center section where you snap it closed. Could possibly be from the plastic wrapping and could easily be wiped off, I'm not sure.
Nonetheless, cant wait for your "real world" photos!
Those are both accurate rep dials. The rose gold on the AP website has the same tappiserie on the old version 15400. The stainless steel JF V5 rep uses the new tapisserie that shows on the new gen AP 15400.
But I'm not an expert. Good eyes to catch that !
Yes, I noticed that too. I had the same issue on my Noob RG Daytona. I was really worried at first that I had received a watch with wear already, but a little bit of cleaning and oil from the fingertips and it’s disappeared. I think it’s just residue from the adhesive but I can’t be sure. I’ll update you guys with pictures when I receive the watch (it should be here Thursday according to tracking) and see if there are any other issues.
EDIT: picture of my Daytona when I received it, I’ll add a picture from after cleaning when I get home.
It has arrived! Let me know if there’s any questions or other pictures you guys need!
Bullflo3 yeah! Pretty happy with it. I’m thinking of grabbing the leather band/clasp, I feel like the rose gold band is a little “too much”. I’m also tempted to purchase a white dial RG version and fit it with a white rubber band.. decisions decisions.
Tigerdragon I’ll try and take some shots tomorrow!
