So my arrived yesterday, build quality is awesome! Really looks very well made and expensive. I have some flaws, the AP Logo is slightly misaligned and the markers are slighlty crooked and has dust on in. But in normal Situations you are not seeing this only the AP Logo is more visible (but you must look closely). Here are some pictures:

That does look good. It took me decades to grow an appreciation of Royal Oaks, but I certainly have one now.

I have couple questions to recap:

Are the white and black dial known as V2 too? or is only the blue one for the moment.

Which one is the more gen-like dial? Is it still the white one?

I read that there are different logos as for V1 and V2 (fat and small logo), which one is correct?


Thanks

Is there a version with the updated dial that has an eta movement instead of the miyota?

Hi guys i just bought a JF15400 blue dial. The problem is that its running way to fast when fully wound up, around + 15 minutes per hour (!)
It runs okay when its only a bit wound but still too fast, anyone has any idea why this is happening?
Do you guys think i should send it back or is there a simple fix?
Thanks a lot for the help

This can be due to a lot of reasons. First thing I d try is to demagnetize it. If it won't help and you are sure it's a keepet have it serviced by a good watchsmith and it will run strong and you will enjoy it :)

Do you think most watchsmith will service miyota rep movements?
One watchsmith refused to work on my V7 diver. I know it's not miyota movement but still.

If they aren't coming out you may have stripped the screws. It's very simple. To remove the screws and links

The problem is they are very hard screwed in. I tested to screw it down and it worked well so the screws are fine only screw it out does not work. Strange.

Buy a demagnetizer for $15 off amazon, follow the instructions in a YouTube video. That is very likely to fix the problem if you do it right.

You can see here how the dial changes color in different lighting situation.

I know qc pics are frowned upon but Im in love with the 15400, I just placed my very first order with a TD, however I think the 3, 6, 12 markers seem to be slightly misaligned or are my eyes playing tricks on me I would greatly appreciate the feedback of better trained eyes on this forum. Thank you, will post full pics once I receive the watch.
