Looks like someone on Reddit posted their first IRL photo of the XF 15202 - https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/com...f_has_arrived/

Zoomed in - looks like the AP logo is a bit wonky (not straightened) but everything else looks on-point and great.

Zoom in the full size picture of this reddit link, you can see that almost all of the hexagonal screws on the bezel have a problem...
Some have the slot completely misaligned, some are not straight properly into the hexagon hole and some have both of these problems!
It´s a really complicated job to replicate all of the details from a gen...

Technically it should wear more like a 41 or 42 round watch on smaller wrists.. The reason for this is that the end links connecting the lugs to the bracelet can not fold down completely and "hug" smaller wrists. So the lugs flare outwards. on a smaller wristed person this will wear bigger

I haven't received mine yet but I have a 7.5in wrist.

The only version of this watch that actually wears like a true 39mm will be the original 5402 AP Jumbo and that's because of the end links being able to fold downwards completely against the wrist. Something the later models cannot do.

Here's a video of a 1972 vintage 5402:

Heres a video of the 15202

I also have an 8 inch wrist and I had the same question as you. All the owners of the 15202 that I corresponded with said this watch wears bigger, more like a 41-41mm so I went ahead and ordered it...

Does the dual looks blue or more black?
Thx

 

[legend]

the crooked logo AP is killing everything

Crooked logo and markers can be re-aligned. A lot of the rep royal oaks come with some form of logo/markers misalignment and the good news is that this is a relative easy fix.

In this hobby there can be v1-Vn but none of them will be perfect, and the next iteration may be better in some ways and worse in some others. This is because of the batches of individual parts used in the same watch like bezel, dial, hands etc.
So it is theoretically possible that you get a better dial in the v2 and a worse datewheel or hands.

I have one of these coming soon--just to perform experiments on, not to wear. A special message for the nitpicker perfectionists: Look for the member with the 5-axis CNC and the proper programming for it to recut the recesses for the screws on these bezels. It is obvious from the photos that XF did not have one during manufacture.

What do you mean? These photos are taken with different Reflex lense cameras?
