JF 15400,the "new" batch.

[MasterWatch]

Blue 15400 is not listed even on AP official website, its hardly found in boutiques (at least my experience), so the thing I would consider is build quality which is extremely high in V2 by JF. If one likes blue I would advise not to be mislead by the possibility being called out. Just my 2c

I agree with you.
Here is my blue for reference:

I agree with mech500 that white looks too feminine.
I think blue would be difficult to call out. I've seen gen 1500 with blue dial a few times and every time it looked different depending on the lighting.
You would have to see them side by side in the same lighting but I think they would look be pretty close.

+1 thats good on the blue dial!

I always likes blue dial with SS and bracelet.
Black dial with RG and black leather strap.
Silver dial SS with bracelet looks feminine but I'm wondering how bling it looks in real life.

I don't see the feminine, maybe a flashier (white/silver reflections) watch than I'm used too, but I wouldn't say feminine unless your talking about a female lumberjack that moonlights as an Elvis impersonator. This is a thin but a watch with substantial wrist presence.

I agree the blue would be difficult to call out and it was my first choice, but I have enough blue dial/insert watches. Eventually if I end up really liking the 15400, I'll probably pick up a blue, too. I'm still not sure on the black, especially since I just pulled the trigger on a Diver, and I already have so many black dial watches. It's hard to justify another one, because there is always another black dial watch I like. Always...

At the end of the day I don't think you could go wrong with any of them, 2 of them, or all 3. It depends on you and your collection.

Hello guys,

Where can I get the most recent version from JF at the moment? And what's the majority's opinion on JF's superiority over TF?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Both have their pros and cons, but consensus seems to be that JF are superior.

Both questions have been answered so many times just read the thread [emoji849]

Just my 2 cents... The Blue in the gen changes from version to version, the 15300 dials are outsourced, the Blue dial commands a 4-5k premium over the other 2 dials and is boutique exclusive even then there are usually not on stock and you have to order so really getting called out is really unlikely, buy the one you like best and forget about being called out

Hi,

i have just just got a black dial JF from my dealer. Nice watch.

For everyone that has one, how many hours power reserve are you running if you wind it fully and let it run to a stop without wearing it?

I'm testing mine at the moment to see if it is close to the stated time for the movement.

 

[Sslztw]

34-36 hours for the mine

I agree with you.
Here is my blue for reference:

Is it the picture or is your writing of "Audemars Piguet" much thicker than the other ones? When you look at the "Automatic" writing its much thinner (like mine one and others in this thread) did they change the thickness of the writing with the new batches? Looks much more "Gen"
