Yes, the 15450 looks perfect on your wrist, does it seem too thick to you? The 15202 is big but not too big, IMO. What is you wrist size?

Thank you. It’s 6.6 inch. I got the 15450 thinned to 10.4mm by legend. It’s still a bit thick but the gen is like 9.8mm so I guess that’s as good as it gets.

Realy!? Shit.. Nice! the logo on the dial is in right position. Hands(base) looks okey. Better then JF and noob. And the Dw/tachy gap looks good to. Only bad thing is mirror/silver ish dw hole. How is the gold plating?

The GP is not as good as JF however JF colours look ok but I am not impressed with their longevity. JF for me is as good as it gets but I definitely prefer the old Noob build quality. I have no Noobs left unfortunately.

Where I need to be.

Visually, this is perfectly executed.
I recently acquired the H series gen and the weight, like the other RG ROOs I own, is reassuring on the wrist. This is lacking in any RG franken of course but I am talking about the visual details of your specific build:
The shape, stack and shine of the gen hands cannot be understated. It is basically what you see each time you look at the time, along with the details on the dial. The gap between the tachy and bezel is also very gen-like in your watch. There is basically no visual tell from the pictures and it is a prime example of what each AP franken should strive to be, along with flying tommy's examples.

i'm saying it in the most non captious way, really I'm in awe of that, but that 400 on the tachy IMHO is a visual tell more than a set of well refined rep hands.

Feel free to disagree

Thanks to both for kind remarks— truth is probably somewhere in between. If you look closely there will always be something, no matter how refined.

I think that we tend to notice different things in a watch. For me its always the hands.
I think there is a reason why these are frankens and not gens, and pointing out this or that "flaw" hopefully helps the owner get the watch to the next level.
