The AP questions thread (All the questions you want to ask about AP but were afraid to)

Yes you can get one from SW. It is not fully accurate, but is the closest I’ve seen to a Tuscan dial. I wish I could upload full HD but I keep getting told the files are too big!

That looks awesome, how much do those run?

Had no idea you could just get the dials from TD's, my mistake

I recently just purchased a 15500ST, I was looking to purchase a gen dial for it. Not too sure if this is the right place to be posting but can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Ready to pull the trigger on a RO. Choosing between an APSF 15500 or an APSF 26240, either in black or blue. Planning on getting it fully modded. Which watch and color would you go with (I am really surprised that the TD / modder says blue in APSF 26240 is closest to Gen — I would have thought black is closest to Gen, even though I really like the blue). This is my first Rep - I have several quality Gens (including an AP Bamboo and an AP manual wind from the 1960s), and want something “close enough” to Gen.

What to choose?

Choose the blue 26240.

Legend,
Any insight on why you prefer the 26420 over the 15500?

Thanks

As of now, which factory/color is closest to gen out of the box on the 15720 diver? I understand the grey has an incorrect gasket color(it's grey but should be blue), how hard is it to correct that?
