Also I hadn't noticed the DW printing is finer on the silver. Quite a big difference to the blue.

This is my AP 15400 JF white dial and I'm still confused to sell it and buy blue dial one.....
Anybody has both and want to take some pictures side by side, please??
I've made sales tread on RWG again.....third time and still not sure if I do right thing.....

Why you would part with a beautiful watch like this for an absurdly ill-blued one is beyond my comprehension.


Come for the watches, stay for the drama! [emoji12]

Lol, has your TD started saying things like "it's a rep and they're all the same, you want perfection then I suggest you buy the gen"! I got that from one TD after rejecting just one QC! Won't be buying from him again!!

No, not that honest. But I think we should be able to expect a watch with no big flaws at 400$...

It looks good mate I see nothing wrong with it, and the time graph results are fine. Anything above 10 sec is a worry. Don't worry too much about it you'll love it.

+-10 secs isn't too much at all. The measurement is only being taken in the dial up position and a finely tuned watch will be adjusted in 5 positions. COSC is +-6 secs. But the 0.9ms beat error is too much. It's a simple adjustment and nothing wrong as such but it does need adjusting.

I know about the "10 sec rule" but 9 is scary close to 10 [emoji1]

+6/-4, but given that the movements are likely disassembled for engraving, then a good service and regulation will return timing and amplitude to typical or better than factory values.

Exactly why my main concern would be the beat error and amplitude readings. But should you accept it at QC status? These are easy fixes for anyone who knows movements but could be costly if you need a watchmaker to sort it out.
