yeah that's really the only thing I can attribute it to and you used the right term "Presence".. plus it's an AP not a Rolex or something which people would assume is fake to begin with

I guess not so many of us AP wearers out there :) what's funny about this is the most recent compliment it got was from a restaurant my wife and i frequent, one day the owner who is this young woman who inherited the place and now runs it/works there said "I love your watch" after seating us.. in front of my wife too :) so had to rub it in her face that the girl was hitting on me :ROFLMAO:
This is one of the greatest stories I've ever heard about a man and his replica watch. 👍

yeah :) it's also part of the reason this AP form a long long time ago holds a very special meaning/memory for me, lol

the fact it happened in front of my wife is the best :) to this day i still tease her and rub her face in it.. because the restaurant is a place we frequent :ROFLMAO: never gonna let her forget

Yes at 42mm, vs the 40mm hulk, it is indeed closer to your heart A as it extends further up your wrist by 2mm at least. :ROFLMAO:
If only up the wrist.
Also down the wrist, not to mention it drags my puny arms down to my ankles.
Have you ever seen a chimp with an AP?
Well... 😂

Got the 15500 and 15400 a few days ago. The 15500 wears better on my wrist as the case is slightly shorter than the 15400. I also like that it is a bit thicker to give more wrist presence.

I notice that the dial color is quite different even though both are made by ZF. The 15500 dial has a matte white color whereas the 15400 has more of a shiny silvery color. I actually like the matte white color more. I have no idea if they even come close to gen dial color. But as rep these are great value as they are really well made.

The dials are as per gen. Tapestry has been changed, manufacturing process has been changed, result, therefore, has been changed.
As for the “gen-like” accuracy, they are among the best.
Also its interesting you can see a roughly 1mm difference in L2L measurement, thats admireable, I cannot tell.

I also got the 15400 in RG. I had no idea that the bracelet on the RG model is tapered. I actually like the SS model bracelet with uniform thickness throughout. Is this what the gen 15510 bracelet is like?
