Guys these are my qc pictures, to me it seems the screws are misaligned, or is it just a question of prospective?
Should I reject it?
Thanks

Love this watch! It’s been on my wrist for two months straight, I’ve never lasted this long with another watch without wanting to switch it out on weekends...

The watch really looks really beautiful. I am also planning to order it, can you just let me know how is the feel and quality of material specially the bracelet.

Now that I finally managed to put my hands on one of these, I have to say this watch is worth every goddamn penny.
It’s a stunner, the dial has a nice dark blue/greysh hue that seems to change continuously.
Here’s a snap, if all the previous weren’t enough to tell how well made this thing is:

I would buy this in a heartbeat if they would just fix the difference between the hands and indices lume :-S

I feel the same way. Hopefully they will and otherwise might have to have it done by a modder

Received my XF 15202 and want to share some insights. First the points that have been discussed more or less:
Quality of screws on the bracelet is not acceptable at this price. So far, I was not able to remove 3 screws. I have already used heat, about 10 well fitting screw drivers and several oil baths including WD-40 and still no chance. Screws start to be damaged. If anyone had similar issues and solved them, I'd be glad to know.
The clasp element with the AP logo has room on the sides and the bracelet parts on left and right move showing gaps.
The clasp element with the AP logo is moveable as well, not left to right but up and down. It shows a heavy gap sometimes with potential to get stuck somewhere with the edges, e.g. on a jumper.
As a gen collector I probably had high expectations, but from my point of view its a nice watch with a few relatively obvious rooms for improvement. Issues with the bracelet screws are not acceptable for me when paying $500. Would like to hear from other owners if the have the same issue as on my pictures.
- The gaps of the screws set in the bezel, looking as if they were not cut precisely on zoom pictures form the front, are not visible in real. I was more concerned about it than necessary.
- Center of the hands is too fat but you don't notice if you don't know.
- However you can notice screws are not sunken equally into the bezel. Even though I rejected several QC I was not able to secure a piece without that issue. Haven't tried but I think I can fix it by my own.
- Many watches have issues with the screw distance to the bezel. Not in a way that they are not centered (the do not have to be), but having very different distances. Look out for that.
- The difference in lume is very visible, more than I expected.

I've got just a bit over 7inch wrist. From pictures elsewhere, the bezel size is close to an Aquanaut, and so are the lugs.
The Aquanaut wears a bit too small for me. Length wise (12 to 6) the lugs don't cover the width of my wrist. In contrast, the 15400 wears just fine as does the Diver.
I picked the 15500 for this reason. The 15202 would wear to small for me.
