Both exist during different times. Remember that variations exist in gens.

Or both aren’t brother depending on the definition of correct.

Your level of astuteness goes way past mine once again bro. Lol, but of course, absolutely correct. Did I say correct? Affirmative, that's correct.
When it comes to sharpness bro, when you’re second, nobody is first. Lol

Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster.
Let me translate the V3 video for you all here into summarised points:
- V4 8.7mm thickness vs 8.4mm on gen
- Utilises 316L steel, high quality steel brushing
- Need to adjust the date by adjusting the time, same functionally as gen
- 9015 considered a slow date change and starts changing from 10pm
- Compared to V4, the dial has been upgraded
- V3's dial was a little lighter blue, V4 has changed to a darker blue and closer to gen
- The hands and hour markers' lume has been upgraded. V3 was a little greenish and V4 has been made whiter
- I have made 3 videos previously about 15202, one comparing XF vs JF vs gen, another comparing XF vs ZF vs gen and the last one comparing ZF vs gen. I have had hands on with 2 gen 15202 so I'm fairly familiar with this model and this V4 dial is even closer to gen than V3
- The pinion(?) size on the XF so far is closest to gen than JF and ZF who have larger pinions(?) (Sorry, I'm not sure what it's called exactly but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about here)
- The font on the date wheel has been made a little bolder to be closer to gen
- Clarity on the front glass (crystal?) is very high
- V2's bezel screws were a little too sunken in but the gen are only a little below the surface of the bezel and that's what is on the V4 (Not sure why he's comparing to V2)
- The stainless steel brushing is very shiny
- The gen also has beveled edges and when you run your hand on the edge, it can feel sharp, especially on the band
- The movement is 9015, it hasn't had any sanding or brushing to keep it more brighter/shiny/reflective, ZF does a little brushing in this area of the movement and that makes it look a little more realistic. The engraving on the back is also a little deeper (not sure if he's referring to V4 or ZF here)
- I stand by what I said previously about the stainless steel band, The range of movement on the end link connector is a little bigger compared to gen, the gen isn't as large of a range of movement.
- The band isn't as flexible as the ZF, when you press down on it, you can see there's not a lot of give and is a little more rigid and hasn't been fixed
- When you open up the clasp. the engraving is a little darker, the gen is more silvery grey
- Closing and opening the clasp is very crisp and the feel is very good
- Overall, these are the improvements made on the XF V3, the stainless steel band is still a little lacking and hasn't been improved

Yes, it’s not augmented reality. The watch you will get from XF will be a real watch that you can put on your wrist and you want to know the best thing? Others will be able to see it as well.
wow, I really had no idea but now I do. Thank you for the education bro. :hehehe:
