I bought two - blue and white dials - when I heard JF was stopping production. They will likely be keepers! Major is selling one with a gen white dial.
I know i contacted him but the price is off my reach unless he accepts payments
but mainly i was lookin for blue i sent a msg to legend didnt wanna bother him with stuff like that but maybe he can help me find one
Got QC for the B7F model. Laugh my ass off. They have like a horrible dial on this. Everything is wrong.
Here is the reference.

The dial does have some sunburst effect on it which is good, not matte like on some Royal Oaks. The gap between the bezel and the sloping edge of the case looks a bit longer when compared to the gen IMO.
Congrats.

Yes, but we're discussing the AP 15550 in this thread. The gen 15450 is 9.8 mm, so your JF 15450s is .7mm thicker which is not bad IMO.

I didn't realize the 15550 was that much thinner than the 15450, but it looks like the 1550 is about 1mm thinner than the 15450 (15550 8.9mm vs 15450 9.8mm). I thought they were similar, so I thought I'd throw in the thickness of my 15450.
Was thinking of doing a small comparison review of the B7F and JF 15450 first but nah, just some quick thoughts here. Yes I know this is a 15550 thread but think this might interest you as well.
For every so called Reddit/RWI-experts saying this is a "Ali express-shitter" after seing a few pics I could not agree less.
This might be the 15450 ever made imo (they actually do a 15550 as well but I prefer this).
I don't do macros as noone can se it anyway. In comparison pics I have the B7F to the left and JF (best/old version) to the right that I was lucky to get.
The last JF batch had far, I mean FAR to bright blue color on the dial so don't get this if you want genlike.
The printing on the B7F is much superior to JF. Very white and crisp when JF is a bit weak/dull, almost transparent.
My JF is old so maybe it have looked better but the brush finnish on the B7F is otherwise better.
The datewheel on the B7F is not the best, especially on the 2-9 numbers, they are too wide and generic. JF wins there but that's a small issue irl.
The AP-logo on the dial I will let be untold. The JF has a very genlike one. B7F AP logo I've seen on renders (not real life pics) so cant say for sure if it has ever existed, if so I would be on older 15450 versions.
Maybe my good friend here and AP-Guru @legend could fill us in.
Otherwise. Will let the pics speak for themself.
Both have a great dark blue dial. B7F is a bit more saturated irl.

The "Automatic" on B7F dial seem to be in the correct position like gen, unlike the JF so they got that going, which is nice.
I may give B7F a try.
