Great to see them side by side, although I’d say the reason the Quartz looks bigger is due to the fact it’s sat first on your hand, the bracelet is therefore not hanging down like the XF on the lower part of your fingers. Swap them round and the quartz will look smaller hahah

If you have them in hand the difference is striking no matter the angle

Thank you for providing the comparative photos of the quartz and XF versions of the 15202. I have the quartz version and I'm quite pleased with the size and the way it fits my wrist. The smaller XF has now got me somewhat apprehensive because it may look too small on my wrist. I might go for the upcoming 15500 instead if the overall length is smaller than the 15400. Thanks again.

Hi guys, I received my xf 15202 and it seems like I cannot resize the bracelet. I can remove the tiny screw but the pin on the other side is stuck. Any idea? Experiencing this for the first time... never had a prob with other watches. Any ideas? Thanks

Put some WD40 or penetrating oil through the hole from where the screw came from. Let it soak 1-3 hours then use a pin pusher to remove the pin.

Do you know that the pin should be pushed in, on the opposite side of the screw?

correct, from the pin end towards the screw hole. i have one pin also stuck. ultrasonic cleaning did not help...

Is anyone here from the CONUS and will sell me 4 bracelet links that they removed from their watch? Please PM me and I will create a WTB thread.

Thanks!

Dear Friend finally I've received mine!
The overall quality appears excellent to me, really much much better than what I was expecting from the QC pics.
I think that judging from a photo specially if it is a magnified photo we have an excess of details and not always is the right approach.

From a "naked eye point of view" these are my rating:
-The overall looking of the case and bracelet, in terms of color of the steel and satin finishing aspect; 90 out of 100.
-The flaw I was expecting (screws too near to the bezel edge) is invisible to the naked eye; 95 out of 100. -Actually this was my main worry-
-Date font and date-wheel-background-color is excellent; 100 out of 100.
-Dial color and dial "waves per square" excellent overall looking; 95 out of 100.
-Dial "Ademars Piguet" printing is very beautiful; 100 out of 100.
-The only visible flaw to my eye is the thickness; 80 out of 100.

Please let me know if I did a right analysis of if I did some mistakes.

P.S. Today I'm in a big hurry and I have no time to get pics to post... I hope to have some time tomorrow, please be patient.

Is it just me or are the 6 and 9 markers slightly crooked on my watch? If not, is there any other flaws?

I don’t agree about the thickness flaw.. mine is 8,3 mm and the gen is 8,1 mm...

Gen is 7.8 there was a video gen vs xf and they measured it.

Thanks. I'm worried the amplitude is too low at 246. Is that alright for the movement they're using?

So you're saying we should disregard AP's thickness measurement and go with the thickness from a Chinese man with a set of callipers?

Yes that is what he is saying. LOL

I would not trust any website. Rolex Daytonas are 38 mm and the website says 40 mm. Also they changed the website it was 8.0 mm before they completely redesigned the AP page (with this stupid video bullshit). So in this case i trust the chinese people more yes. Because if they were smart they would fake it to 8.1 mm so they can say its only 0.2 mm difference but no they did not. So yeah.
