There is no APSF 15202 so only ZF.
For the 15450 I’ll go with APSF.

What's the current market price to build a 15202 with K2121, gen dial and custom hands and custom DW? Feel free to PM if uncomfortable to answer in a public forum, putting feelers out for a new build and wanted to get a rough price guide.
2. I own a gen blue 15450 dial and based on pics I found the latest ZF dial convincing color wise.
3. I think 15202/16202 would fit your arm and wrist better.

It seems that they stopped 15202 production? I wonder if 16202 reps are better..

I think you can pull it off although it will be on the larger side. Here's 41mm AP on my 7 inch wrist
Is there a factory big or small that makes the AP15703 with 2824 movement?
I want one for the ease of maintenance and maybe at some point get a gen ETA2824 in it.
The ZF has switched to SA3120 and JF is closed from what i have been told

Yes jf used to make them and I have one used specimen. You can have it cheap if you want.

do you know your wrist span? like if you put a straight ruler over your wrist and only look at the horizontal length (not tapering)I think you can pull it off although it will be on the larger side. Here's 41mm AP on my 7 inch wrist
also i think white dial wears bigger

I did some more research, do you think a 6.8 inch wrist with 53mm span could pull off 15400 (41mm)? I don't mind bigger as long as it's not absurdly oversized. My wrists aren't big but I'm a lifter and I have rather big arms. Also I think blue dial will wear smaller
Yes it will. Don’t worry. If not, you can always lift the wrist with the watch continually to build it up to match the arms

Hi, my wrist span is either 55-56mm. I think you can pull it off, it might just look slightly too big from some angles.
Is there a factory that makes a 1.5 link for the 15202? Struggling to get a good fit otherwise. I've looked at gen, but the prospect of a link that costs more than the rep feels bad.

Can I see some pictures of yours please? What is the circumference btw?
Thank you

Circumference is right at 7 inch / 17.5 cm. Here's my 15400 gray (and 15500 blue for extra comparison).

It's APSF newest version that I just got a month ago, but sadly the movement had an issue and the AP logo is also crooked
I have a blue 15500 apsf its really really really good, only issue I had was FedEx literally throwing the box to my house, minute hand came off the stack, I had it fixed and waterproofed. Highly recommend even the weight is near perfect

Not sure if 41mm or 37mm AP (blue dial) would fit me
Not sure if 41mm or 37mm AP (blue dial) would fit me
My wrist circumference is 6.85 inch (17.4cm). My flat span is about 53mm (placing a straight ruler over my wrist and measure where I can see my skin).
I have small wrists but got bigger arms than average I believe. In general I prefer bigger/sporty watches, I mostly just wear muscle fit t shirts, no suits.
However I am not sure if the 41mm Royal Oak would fit me, I know the lug to lug is like 51mm so it might be quite pushing it? But I also understand wrist shots always look bigger.
The pictures above is a "42mm" seiko for reference, it is "42mm" case diameter but it has a gearwheel design, so the actual circle is probably more like 41.
I read dozens of posts on gen forums (like the rolex forum), 37mm looks good on wrist shots but they kinda look small when looking as a third person from a distance?
Any input is appreciate.
Summary: 6.85 wrist, prefer bigger/sporty watch but worried 41mm would be TOO big?
