XF New AP Royal Oak 15202 Releasing Soon!

[Roguetheory]

quick question - should this model have a screw in crown? Mine does not and wanted to double check that is normal.

Mine doesn’t it seems. I’m used to a screw in crown on my gen Rolex, so initially I was turning for ages after setting the time thinking WTF? Haha

What kind of power reserve are you guys getting? Wore watch all day yesterday, took it off around 9pm, woke up and it seems it stopped at 11:30pm. Should I be manually winding it?

The proper way to "charge up" an automatic movement:

Wind it about 20-30 times to give it enough reserve, and momentum to continue charging itself (it is easier for a partially wound watch to gain reserve vs a completely inert one), and since there is no second hand, take the look to ensure that the balance wheel is running. Thereafter, wear the watch normally. Remember that it is charged by physical movements, so if your day is sedentary, you can wear the watch the entire day and not have it charge up at all.

Great, thanks A. Will do that.

Great, thanks A. Will do that.

If you wind up your watch partially, and has a fairly active day with fair wrist movements, and the power reserve is only 2-3hrs (or anything below 24hrs for that matter) after removing it, the movement will benefit from a service.

Hi guys

Not an expert on AP, just received those QC pics for a 15202 XF.

This space between the case and the bracelet looks weird. Happy to have your thoughts on this !

Also the color of lume between the hands and the markers seems different ?

Thanks a lot

Both are normal on the XF V2. Getting a white lume or a mismatched green lume is luck of the draw. I had to relume mine.

 

[Kalmine64]

Thanks. And the space between the bracelet and the case ?

I thought the biggest improvement of v2 was the color-matching of hands/indexes lume. In the QC pictures above the mismatch is so strong that it looks like a v1

 

[Roguetheory]

Yes, it’s fine. Many raise the same issue like it’s a flaw, but it’s there on gens too apparently. So not an issue.

Nope, mine was mismatched to that degree too. The biggest improvement that I’m aware of on the V2 were the bezel screws being better plotted, compared to the V1 where they were too close to the edge of the bezel.

I must say that the gap looks verry large.. if it was my watch i have rejected it. But thats just me

Mine as a reference, you can see the gap.

Is your modded? Or they have change the hands? Your handbase is smaller then on my v1. Beautiful watch buddy
