JF 15400,the "new" batch.

[Tigerdragon]

Here is mine QC pic (accepted over a week ago)

As you can see minute markers between 1 and 2 and also 9 and 10 are not perfect but in my opinion they are pretty good in JF v2 when to comes to this issue.
Like I already said all JF 15400 v2 have this issue, you won't find one with perfect minute markers.
If I get bored I will try to refinish them with thinny line stamp to make them sharp and crisp.

Yeah your "Swiss Made" look very very good too!

You are right, I just noticed that.
I guess I didn't pay attention to "Swiss Made" on mine QC pics

its good to remember that gen AP are not perfect so minute markers slightly faded or other very had to notice flaws shouldn't bother us that much. However, if I was dropping $20k on a watch I want it to be pretty much perfect. If I'm getting one for $400, it is what it is.

Yep exactly.

Is there a place that does " Laser print " for those markers on dial?
We need to make them sharp .. crisp and popped out just like the genuine !

Haha I would be keen to know if there is. But as mentioned, it's not noticeable on wrist. Just enjoy it. The other details of the watch - tap dial, the way the bracelet catches light, are captivating enough. No one has ever asked if it's a rep or called me out.

If you haven't already seen it then here is the AP video showing how they make those dials, gen version. The silk screening is simply applied by what looks like a blob of plasticine:

Thanks for the video - I'm sure the reps are manufactured in exactly the same way ;-)

Great video! I guess AP doesn't care about giving its "secrets" away lol

Does anyone have waterproof tested the watch ? would love to see the results.

If that's how they make it, no wonder some gen 15400s have AP logo on a slight angle.
Quality control is responsible for that too.

After watching that video I would bet that there are way more QC issues on Gens than we realize. We only see a few of the watches they produce and most owners probably wouldn't notice the logo being ever so slightly off.

Right even the Press Photos have Logo issues see here:

Check its slightly missaligned.

That is one heck of a beautiful watch. If only JF did a rose gold wrapped version like how Noob/BP does for their 2 tone subs. I'd buy one in heartbeat. Silver dials are the best.

Btw, on the topic of logos... Here's my cross post from another thread regarding fat vs slim logo, gen vs rep comparisons. Hopefully it's helpful!

Here is a Gen (I belive) blue from instagram: watchesofinstagram

Color and shine looks pretty close to my V2 (Right)

 

[Tigerdragon]

Yeah you can't Tell the difference the color is almost the same.
