What about a gen Xtal, J.??? [emoji12]

he he, no gen Xtal. Wish I had one though. The screws make a nice difference though.
Impressed by JF 15400: Even the taps on the holes for the screws for the plots on the JF were gen spec. I did not need to retap at all.
Would recommend a bezel rebrush though: the JF factory brushes with coarser grain than gen.

A buddy of mine will get me a Gen Xtal by the next week, will let you know how/if it fits ;)

Anyway, this V2 is just amazing. I got the Silver dial and I'm ordering the 2T white.

Tell me how the gen Xtal works. I suspect it will NOT fit without modification.

Screws were on Ebay a long time ago. Dial does not really bother me. Lets face it: you are not going to get a blue OEM 15400 dial on secondary/grey market. But if I could get gen hands, and restake them to size, I would like to add them. PM me if you have gen hands for 15400, LOL.

The fact that they still haven't released a blue model with rose gold of the 15400 worries me. I'm getting to the point where I just may buy a rose gold black dial and a stainless blue dial and transplant swap the rose gold hour markers and put the blue dial in the rose gold case.

I am curious about when they are going to update the black dial across all models. The black dial on the TT already seems updated, but I do not know about the SS and RG.

Tbh, I really do. It's my grail watch. Well that and a ulysse Nardin Freak. Hahaha, the TF blue dial just seems off. It'd wierd in photos it looks decent but when I went to the ap boutique recently the JF was much closer to gen.

Haven´t AP discontinued the blue dial on the 15400? It´s only available in the boutiques.
