Debating between this and 15400. Both are stunning watches.

Is this just me or someone else can see bezel and screw size difference despite of screws not fitting well

Without a doubt get the tourbi!

Thank you for the great review! as attractive as this piece is, I'm going to give it a miss because I'm too conflicted about its flaws. I own the JF AP RO SS black dial so I am content.

Do you guys think that this is the best tourbillon? The closest to gen?

For AP rep, yes it is. You can say it's closest to gen since there are no other version, but "close" is a tricky word, esp to fellow rwi whose very nitpicky here lol

How much would something like this cost, given that it has a genuine Shanghai Tourbillon?

This is killing me... I've seen the gen one multiple times this weekend behind the glass... I'm going to crack under the pressure really soon and order the rep... (Hopefully the gen later, who knows)

Finally - I got one! And I can tel you all who are on the fence, get it! ASAP! Stunning rep!

I am just a bit worried about the size, what is your wrist size and how does it fit...? Does it look huge or is it okay?

@machiavegli or any other epxerienced member please chime in ... do you know the exact measurements of the movement incl. the dial? This watch has some modding potential and im thinking about to put it in a 15400 Case which is about 10mm . That would be closer to gen and the 15400 quality is really really good!

@mach can you please check if there is about 1mm space on the dial side and 1mm in the caseback? So if it dont fit in an 15400 case maybe it is possible to shave down the bezel and caseback (shorten, polish and sunk bezelscrews at the same time) this , combined with the repgeek mod would make it virtually about 90% to gen. Relume , AR crystall , amd polish out the "AP" logo on the bracelet amd voila you have 95% .

I have ordered mine! Wait and see!

So you cant wait for the new Version ?

Is it going to be updated anytime soon?

Edit: Oh yep... I have just seen that JF is working on a new slim version... Damn But it is not sure it is going to be released anytime soon...

Hey guys,

I think this has not been mentioned yet, but from what I can see on the QC pictures that I have received, the wheel that was SS has been modified. It looks much closer to gen. It is now golden and is not plain as before.
