The bezel is too small, width wise. Just do a simple photo comparison and you will see it.
I have not inspected the case in person yet but from photographs that much is evident.

Even for the rosegold plated version? And i would definitely buy yours over a factory because I knowbthr attention to detail you will spend.I’m in the process of producing a custom second hand for it, using a gen hand as reference. It will be installed with the movement into a proper case as the current case isn’t geometrically correct as well. It’ll take time to get this produced though and maybe by then the factory will already be making the correct second hand.
I sent you a PM already, let me know.
We are here complaining about this case (the geometry problem highlighted in red below creating a large gap nonexistent on the gen) but it isn’t different than the two other top tier factories selling APs - APFS and ZF (for the simple reason most factories don’t produce their own cases, but buy from the same producer and then refine them).
Same problem with APFS:

The gen 15400 does have a gap and the APSF 15400 (at least that's the one I have ) nailed it.
On the other hand, the gap on the 15407 is much thinner, say like 1-2 mm. Just looking at pictures, yes the THB 15407 bezel/case proportion is not gen-like.

This is correct. The gen 15400 and 15407 bezels are different.
Mine also arrived this week.
I agree that it has flaws as appointed by people above. But what a fantastic watch it is! It has some heft to it, and the build quality feels great. It is shiny like a AP should be and the dial has a lot of play with light, which is amazing to look at.
It’s truly convincing on the wrist. I would recommend people to go for it.
It’s a watch which is flashy but elegant too. I bet it won’t go under the radar, not even in steel.
I have a 16.5-17cm wrist (depending on the temperature during the day). I feel it wears almost like my subs, as it is a thin watch, which is great.
I was afraid it would wear much bigger.
