Case is still borked

What is mean „borked“??

It Like broke?

Agree - more evident in this vid:

The gap ruins it for me. Looks worse than the one on my old JF 15400. If they fix that I would buy one but not while its like this. The spelling error on the caseback doesn't matter to me as much as the botched case.

The mid cases flat space above + below the bezel right before it tapers off to the bracelet is way too large. The APSF 15510 has this fixed already. Given this watch seems like its based on the 15400 I assume the error worked itself in because they used those old materials but never improved them since a few years...

I agree too. That is almost the exact ratio from 15400. The funny part is, I actually prefer 15400 mid case’s gap. It some how makes dillusion vesel looks small by giving extra space to its cover area. (The reason I find why 15400 looks smaller than 15510)

So I am hesitating if I should bu this wrong case

Probably better to wait for them to fix it, hands down. I buy it if they fix that. This watch seems to be based on the 15400 as also the number suggests, they just took the old plans. I have an old JF 15400 and the case distance is exactly the same. 1:1

I JUST want them to fix the "douuble" and the breaking ceramic.

Breaking ceramic?

Im just waiting double wheel. then go for it

There are some modders that do an upgrade to double balance, freesprung at an additional cost i believe.

very pricy conversion but i gather the factory will figure something out since they know its a cash grab

I think it might be tough for factories to mass produce actual free sprung double balances

Perhaps they may do double regulated balances, as a balance wheel can be fitted on the current rep i believe with some tweaking involved.

Knowing these factories might take many versions of upgrading and downgrading

Has anyone tried swapping the THB movement into another factory RO case that has more correct dimensions (if it would even fit)?

Yeah, I swapped mine. It fits but needed a custom adapter between the movement and case. It would not be hard for the factories to order a similar adapter and reuse existing cases.

Nice! Can you post some pictures of the process or finished product?

What model did you sacrifice for the case?

I didn’t care about the gap when I bought it, or even the first few wears, but now it sticks out and feels like it’s getting bigger. Just doesn’t look right.

I think the gap isn't that big of a deal. the "douuble" is though

The gap is because they used the data from the AP 15400 cases for this. Look it up the AP15400 has this too. It should not have been used on this model though.
