JF 15400,the "new" batch.

[jakekrait]

I have to read every title of every thread in the AP section...because I am the moderator of this section here [emoji6]

I see. Since different batches of the watch (apparently) exist some TDs may or may not have the absolute newest batch available. Hence the question.

P.S. I did not mean to insult you and I value your work as mod.

got my QC pics today.
the tapisserie for me looks like the new batch.
i approved the watch and now i'm looking forward to get it soon

As far as I know, there are only three versions from the JF

1) Roundish tapisserie dial and narrow logo
2) Roundish tapisserie dial and new wide logo
3) Flat tapisserie dial and wide logo

Yours and mine belong to the category 3

Yep still have the sticker on (have not even adjusted the bracelet yet but waiting for my black dial )

I don't think TDs carry stock mate.

When you place an order, the TD go to the "market" and buy the requested watch.

There is no guarantees that you will get the latest "silent update" version because factories want to finish existing stock. That's why you have to check QC pics etc

Hi Torch, the black dial looks awesome and more square look (closer to Gen like)

May i know what version is this and which TD isit from ?

Hi Torch, thanks for your insight bud.
Quick question for you, I notice that a few dealers are carrying a yellow gold version of the blue 15400.

I can't find a gen reference, so assume this may be a fantasy model. Is this correct?
Thanks in advance.

It exists, just they list it as pink gold instead of yellow gold. Wish the rep factories could nail pink gold.

Bless you matey.

That yellow color looks terrible

The yellow colour looks awful. But the bracelet's AP logo is closer to gen. Like the 15000 Quartz.

I have second category in Black SS (July purchase) and it's nice but my other Jf which is third category (November 2016) in silver with rose gold hour markers....pure decadence. The plan was to get another 3rd category in silver, but on close inspection of the tap on 15000, looks like who ever is making the dials is refining the process. Getting closer to 18 grooves per square...so might hold out and see if there is a v3/v4 with bracelet from the yellow gold and better tap.

I don't believe the color of the yellow gold is too bad. I think these rep sites over saturate the images.

Check out the pics from toro:

It also looks like the blue dial color was potentially upgraded.

Why would you guys say that yellow gold looks awful? I didn't see it in the real life but from pics it looks way better than JF bronze looking Rose Gold.

I'm wondering if yellow gold black dial on black leather strap will be available? I would snatch it right away.

 

[Tigerdragon]

To yellow looks way to cheap.

 

[rcom440]

Gen AP Yellow Gold watches I've seen in AP stores were very yellow.

 

[Tigerdragon]

Yeah they look cheap too

 

[firuz]

TBH I hope it is closer to the colour on Toro's site.

Re some earlier posts in this thread, got some pics of the blue dial at an AD. Here they are, if it can help anyone assess their choice of the JF blue.

i like portholes (and i cannot lie)

 

[Tigerdragon]

Damn JF comes very close with the blue dial.

Hey guys from the discussion I see that no matter which dealer you choose, there still might be a problem with "older" batches coming down the pipeline, or is there one dealer overthere which is more less consistent in the past couple of weeks?
