slaughterer62tosoboso Hey y’all, has anyone else noticed that the date wheel cutout gets bigger each version? The v3 cutout cuts into the tap square to the left, this is something that the cheap dials do!! My early v2 doesn’t have this issue. Haven’t seen anyone point it out yet either,

Is this a V3 dial?

Long time away but: what am I missing, we are having huge discussion here on "crispyness of dial markers" and rants about nanometer details... whilst the entire watch is 2 mm thicker than the original and has different lateral case proportions one could see from the moon (to use the old Bristol quote)? I can spot a fake RO (or older Nautili, before the last release) from 3 to 5 m away: it just is not the same watch, it has not got the same slender proportion of the original. If I go to a bar or a restaurant do I have people going over my watch with a loupe? No sir, or at least not in the kind of place I am going to. But do I mind a gen owner can see it's a fake from the next table: red cheeks moment no thanks. Happy to pull the trigger on the new 9mm Nautilus any day. RO: waiting desperately for someone to do the same and come out with decent gen-like proportions. IMHO: a lot of effort is being put in "picture identicity" (does that word exist anyway?) but when you look at a gen Blancpain FF it slams you in the face: what a difference! You can spot the difference from 5 meters away, whilst in "QC" pictures they would look identical. And before you go all shoot me down on this one: depth of the embedded minute markers in the sapphire bezel: huge difference, much more superficial on rep. Take-away point: please let's not forget the big picture, and I am very happy that people take their loupes out, do macro photography, compare crisps, but what is the use if the watch is so different as these RO's are? Please RO factories: follow the Nautilus lead and brings us a decently proportioned watch, crisps can wait!

hmmm...this is a fresh perspective indeed! just for clarity...is the thickness difference 1mm or 2mm?

9.7mm vs 11mm, which results in an overall bulkiness quite easy to spot once you have seen it (you cannot unsee this hahahaha). At my fitness club we have a friendly calling-out contest with 4-5 regular members, not so easy as most of them have a collection of gens and reps. We would always call out the RO's and the Nautili (before the most recent one, but we are still in the process of ordering that one) at 2 to 3 meters distance from the wearer. All that practice even allowed us to do it casually in the street where, to our surprise, we spot more fakes than gens when it comes to the RO I am sure the Rolex knowledge board/crowd will insist it is possible to do the same with some ROlex models as well....didn't get into that .. yet It's a pity as the newest Nautilus rep rids us of the similar and eternal problem: or go for the right proportion but have the "first link problem" or go for the bulky one with the right first link setup (no hole, just the one hole on the first link): in both cases a connaisseur would be able to call you out at 2-3 m. If it's possible for the Nautilus, the factories could get this problem solved in a jiffy for the RO. Addmittedly this is more of a problem in summer than in winter, but I wouldn't want to be seen dead wearing an 11 mm RO and polos.

I completely agree with you on this. I am not sure if it is the caseback on the gen or the midcase on the gen that is thinner than the Rep. But Loco Louie was able to thin the rep's caseback getting the overall thickness correct.

Amen! But I have high hopes now that we have the PF Nautilus ... RO is bound to follow suit ...

My v3 RO 15400 is 10.05 mm (GEN is 9.8mm). It's a noticeable difference vs. 11mm (or is it 10.5?) but I don't think you would be able to call out the jf from 2-3 ft away unless you know the GEN very very well and know about the jf.

Is this a V3 dial?

Can I ask you who your TD is? Thank you.

 

[vh997tt]

Just a short question instead of adding a new thread to this topic.

Is there a significant difference between a
JF 15400 V2J black dial and JF 15400 V3 black dial?
Romeur says the V3 is more black or more like s gen black color.

What do you guys says?

jakekrait is this a modified v3 or the new batch is really thinner?

Trust me if some owner has a clue he will see it directly when he is looking on the dial because they cant copy the gen dial. Its night and day.

you are 0.001% of the entire world's population that can spot the things you mentioned though.

Its modded. V3 out of the box is still just as thick as any other previous version.
