JF 15400,the "new" batch.

[rcom440]

I've been to a few different AP stores and I've never seen SS AP 15400 on a leather strap. Do they even sell brand new stainless steel 15400 on leather?
I've seen many RG on strap but never SS.

I get what you mean by the silver dial looking all too silver/steel on the whole and lacking the "contrast"; but this is where the genius design of Genta comes in!

The 15400 isn't just any steel watch. The way the bezel and bracelet are brushed, sitting on that case.
It catches light so beautifully as you move your wrist and there's just that sparkle effect to it which is amazing for stainless steel.
And couple that with the trademark tapesserie design on the dial which really is 3D especially on the silver dial...perfect!

I find myself staring at my wrist and moving it to admire how the dial, bezel and bracelet - basically the whole watch - bask in all its glory.

Haha I talk like a man in love...but I won't deny it. I would recommend the Royal Oak to any watch enthusiast, rep or Gen!

I've had the chance to try on all 3 dials at an AD and they were all great. I think it's a matter of which one "connects" with you the most, that captures your heart, instead of just what others like myself are saying. Everyone's opinion on dial colour differs but if you go with the colour that clicks with you...you're gonna be a happy camper.

Oops there I go again, writing too much when it comes to the Royal Oak, ha.
Have a good weekend gents!

Couldn't have said it better

Minute markers are not improved, but I doubt they have gotten worse. The appearance depends a lot on the angle of the shot, due to the 3D structure of the tapissery. Here's another shot:

Still not the greatest minutemarkers. But I've seen far worse...

Dear Friends,
Would like to ask actually if the "Audemars Piguet" Font from JF is correct ?

Because the Gen photos that i saw online was more BOLD like.

 

[Tigerdragon]

It depends on the light.

It's pretty much correct except letter G is slightly bit different but it's extremely hard to notice - basically you need to know where to look and on top of that it's so damn small.

I love Nautilus however both BP v1 and that new v4 are not quite there yet.
All versions of BP Nautilus blue dials color including v1 are not correct. They are way too greenish while they should be very dark blue almost purple.
That new v4 have pretty much spot on dial color but it's a little bit too thick and bracelet is just poorly constructed.
