So,, what’s the deal with the v3 stocks....a few people are claiming that stocks have essentially run out.

Anyone heard v4 rumours?

Where’s that repworld bloke?

I do love a good rep insights rumour (most however are just bullshit lol)

V3 with terrible printing look at the "Made"

Yup it seems like printing on the dial gets progressively worst. Some of the first v3 were quite crisp.
it’s like they are running out of ink or something.

I asked the guys from puretime if the 15202 is "in stock" and they specifically said they're "upgrading" the 15202 so it's not yet available. I asked how about the 15400 and 15450, they said no updates but didn't explicitly say not available. No idea if this reflects the actually affairs with the factories, but I think they're implying no updates for the 15400/15450 in the foreseeable future.

 

[mech500]

Yeh, I can understand dealers/factories keeping future updates quite as it will impact detrimentally on sales of existing stocks.

They had to tell us about the 15202 improvements because that had a major design error and virtually nobody wanted it hence factory choose to essentially withdraw it.

Great news!

That always happen its quiet a joke if you ask me lol Sometimes i really ask myself why i should spend 400+ usd on the replica when they dont even get a good printing then i look at the cheaper 200 usd version and the printing is 100 % good only the tapseries look like shit. Its a complete joke

Anyone tried to mod the hands in some way?

The handset is what bothers me the most (after case thickness).

Hands Lume is thick and mismatched to the dial indices. The finish on the hands is also not as shiny as hour indices.

Is there an alternative more 3D hands solution?

What about that “Micky” guy....does he do RO hands?



Rep v3 mismatched Dial/hands

^ see how the hands look off and do not compliment the hour indices

^^also has anyone tried cleaning/polishing the hands?

Problem is you only have to breath on them and you’ll mark them.

I need your help dear friends

I have an AP 15400 Blue V2 and V3.

I got the V2 from Louie from Warchive (an ephemeral probationary trusted dealer here on RWI) . He modded the AP RO to thin it. He did a good job. The watch is 9.85 mm thin. Very close to the gen.

And I got the V3 here on RWI last week. It's a stock model you can find at all TDs. My goal was to compare the two versions, and of course sell the one I wont keep at home.

The thing is that there are big difference with the dial much more dull with the V3.

and so the question is : Which one would you sell if you were me ???

The V2 with nearly the good thickess or the V3 with maybe a better dial compare to a gen but with a big flaw that is the thickness

V3 because the dial is too dull.

V2 copys the old 2016 dial with the better blue. Not 100% but almost. V3 dial tries to copy 2017 but fails more in my opinion.

So sell the v3 If you dont like the V2 dial you can still mod/change it.

The dial to me is face of the watch and important part of a watch in my opinion. The best thing would be to compare the upsides of both, regardless of the title V2 or V3. Seems like your V2 has a lot more upsides from thinned case to better dial so why would you want to sell the V2 and keep the V3?? If I had those two with the work done on the V2 and their various flaws , I'd keep the V2 as nothing justifies me keeping the V3 .

thanks for your help, everybody here seems ok : the V3 is the one to sell
