THB Factory Has Just Upgraded on the AP 15407 with V2 Now

[Geonor]

How noticeable is the lack of a second balance wheel? Would you only notice it if the watch wasn't running?

Here's a video of gen running

Would love to see the balance wheel designed to resemble the gen wheel.

Any news on whether they will add a second balance wheel ? Don’t think I will buy until they do.

No exact news on this at the moment but I wouldn't say that it is impossible, but a matter of time considering how far reps have come.

@trustytime ; Do you know if they plan to make the 37mm?

THB doesn't seem keen on the 37mm models at the moment as the skeleton clone 3132 movement will need to be redone to match the colors of the 37mm ones, and models are not many, since they will need to produce a certain quantity of the movements.

I believe for now, THB will currently be expanding the series with the models that can use the same movement without changing anything else, and probably improve on any other issues on this 15407

I hope they change their mind. There's definitely demand for it here.

Unless you look at the back of the watch no I can live with it
It’s a sexy watch

From the videos I’ve seen, the finishing looks top notch!

Yes, there is news from THB that they will be making the black ceramic version, but it may not be so soon.

Black ceramic is an immediate buy for me. And since THB has also been in the tungsten game with their DayDates, if they do a tungsten version of the RG 15407, I’m also in on day 1 for that.

yes, there are demand here... but rep factories' main concern is demand on that rep-land in the Oriental

Very true.

I would assume that a smaller watch is also very much appreciated in China where many people have smaller wrists.

Close enough for 650 usd

However i cannot imagine you'll be able to find a watchmaker willing to work on the movement.

At $650 USD why need a watch maker who charges $300+ ? Just buy another watch.

Wondering what mods can be done to it, I assume a case touch up or perhaps a full CNC one would go a long way but curious about what other big improvements can be made (ignoring the missing second balance wheel).

THB does not seem to have any interest in making the tungsten version, because of the high cost and possible issues during production. As of now, their direction seem to be better quality and workmanship, and paying more attention to the details, rather than the weight.

While the black ceramic model seems to be in development, but they could not give me an exact timeframe of when it will be out.

Any word on what the next possible update might be?
