Does anyone know why there is a hole missing here? On the gen it looks like just some cosmetic thing without any function and they didn’t add this to the rep or is there variations of gen without this hole?

I noticed that too - I doubt there’s variations with the gen. I chalked it up to “close enough” and still bought one lol

It's probably a limitation with a replica movement. I mean if you're worried about somoene calling you out, if they know the watch close enough to be able to know that it's missing a hole then they'll also know you're missing an entire second balance wheel and the free sprung movement lol.

Yea I understand hahaha, it’s not the only reason i am not buying just yet it’s just weird that they wouldnt add such a simple meaningless thing when copying the whole movement. But we will probably see this fixed when those custom freesprung movements are available, same like the ace which fixed some jewels and decoration on the 240

That particular part matches the design of the earlier 15305 skeleton model:



And also the design of the 15416 black ceramic as officially shown on the AP site:



Doesn't seem to match any batch of the 15407, however, that I can find.

Well it’s no black ceramic, but the bracelet feels really nice and looks premium.
Someone Ira told me the watch looks like a Tesla cyber truck
I assume that’s for APs in general? I’m so insulted.

I’m never a 41mm guy but really starting to consider this. Can anyone share their experience going from 15202 to this?

It’s a bigger watch and sits a bit thicker on the wrist, but I prefer it to the 15202

I have 17.5 wrist the 15400 looked too big for my taste while 15202 looked perfect but such a pain in arse to use (setting the date). But legend said the 15500 looked better on small wrist so i ordered a15407 since it look so nice
I ll see in a few weeks

Panting at this thread because it’s such a cool watch but too big, especially with the off proportion case which makes it even bigger

Waiting for black in case it wears smaller or 37mm

Woah these modified balance wheel is crazy, I wonder if they'll actually put a somewhat aesthetic balance wheel on the v3 or something, I would sell fridge to get one lol

Saw this on WeChat from a non-TD. I don't know (and didn't ask where the case came from or if it's real ceramic of SS with some sort of coating).


Oh man.. case dimensions are still off if this is the ceramic but it also means we're getting closer... 🙏 🙏 🙏
