What is screw driver size for this screws

sounds like resizing is a nightmare on these guys

I have removed one link in ~ 30 seconds without issues

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

Not sure whether you've solved this yet, but in case you haven't: You push the pin out from the outside of the bracelet link, not the inside. It comes out easily with a thumbtack or paper clip. Again, you're pushing the pin from the outside of the link so the pin falls through the tunnel left by the long screw that goes through the link.

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?

In the video he is measuring from the bezel, and not from the crystal. From crystal to crystal gen is 8,1.

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.

The main flaw is the pinion on this watch.
Being so thin on Gen, this is a real call for someone knowing the gen 15202...the rest looks pretty well done imo...

biggest tell

 

[mumk]

Is it possible to mod the pinion somehow?

 

[Erinoush]

no clue about it :-(
but that is an obvious tell "watch on the wrist" from any angle for someone who knows it ...

Technically you’re referring to the width of the hand base. Yes the pinions (stem where the hands attach to) for the gen and rep are different in width but the width of the hand base is a more obvious tell. Yes this can be modded much like the ROO hand base. It can be trimmed, beveled and polished but it will take skills and a lot of patience.

For guys who have got the XF 15202 how does the bracelet feel to JF's RO bracelets??

 

[donpepe]

Erinoush on your picture, is this the rep?

Obviously the gen.

if you are not abled to tell them apart i suggest buy the XF rep and enjoy it for what it is as nothing will really bother you.

Enjoy this until you get as picky as the rep veterans...

This one is gen Sir.

Thanks for your response. Is any modder doing this? The width of the hand base can't be unseen now when you know it's quite a difference. Instead of nitpicking about the alignment of the screws or such people should be focusing on the issue above. But then again, it's probably not as noticeable on the wrist.

How does this wear compared to a Nautilus or a SubC?

the AP wears bigger than both these watches....

How big is your wrist?? I'm looking at selling the 15400 to try a 15202 as hopefully the smaller sizing works better on thinner wrist

 

[plaifender]

just got mine. Love it.. but how do you remove the damn screws to adjust the bracelet!

 

[Phantomtech]

I love this watch but I cannot wear it because the bracelet is too damn small!!

If anyone removed around 4 links and is willing to sell them to me I would be forever grateful!!
