JF 15400,the "new" batch.

If JF RO RG was anything close to gen RG I would buy it in a sec.

I also like RG with black dials in black leather strap.

Mate the Rg colour Color is close as gen . It depends upon the lighting

Hey guys, just received my QC for the JF15400 in blue SS, it looks fantastic!

However... I've noticed that the marker at 46 is faded and not very crisp (common fault, I know), but looking through this thread, there seems to be plenty with much better markers. Do you think this is too small a fault to reject?

I'm worried as it's my first rep purchase since finding RWI (also ordered Noob CrPO) and want to know the tolerable limits for rejections. I don't know if I'd notice it every day being slightly OCD and it would throw me off!

I would ask for close-up pic first :)

All JF 15400 have faded markers. Some are slightly better than other but only slightly.

Just one marker? I wouldn't worry. Under normal circumstances nobody will notice it at all. Note that QC pics are close ups taken under special light conditions. In real life that kind of detail is totally unnoticable, unless you take the watch for close inspection. More important: is the date centered in the date window? Is the AP logo alligned correctly?

Even slightly crooked hour markers are virtually unnoticable in practice.

Anyway, all reps have these faults. If you reject because of one or a few minute markers only, the next watch offered to you will most likely be worse...

[MENTION=131933]MBvHoven[/MENTION] yea all markers line up nicely, wasn't sure if the date was sitting slightly low in the window though... will try and get a close up of that too.

It also looked as though the bezel, watch body and case back weren't quite aligned. Is that possible? It might have just been the lighting throwing funny shapes but did looks a bit strange on both sides.

Thanks mate for the suggestions I will stick to Rg without diamonds . Which dial black or white. What's your take on it. ?

Hard to say which colour I prefer the best. I've owned around x6 JF15400s. I personally prefer black dial (maybe blue). White is nice, very bling but I generally prefer black dials. Some say, White has a more accurate tapp but I can't see how anyone can be called out based on tapp because there's no way anyone could prove that your dial is NOT a gen variation. [emoji6]

^hehe. Yeh, anyone in the real world who knows what AP tap should look like, would probably already know the watch is fake based on other details.

if JF did a "wrapped gold" of the 15400 for under $1,000, it would probably sell very well.

Most of the "normal" people dont know even AP :D only watch guys/girls know such brands. But the whole design with the shiny bracelet etc is stunning.

Agreed. the bracelet really sells the JF 15400 watch as a whole. Love the way it shimmers and shines with every move!
