XF New AP Royal Oak 15202 Releasing Soon!
- Thread starter jtimewatch
- Start date
1. I'm curious whether some imo necessary adaptations (eg. screws) to the gen are to be expected in the short term
2. I would also like to know if i can jump safely into the pool with this 15202

Yes, QC pics are needed. But so far, pictures from Li, Kobe and Kuvarsit show the screws too close to the edge. Puretime's pictures looks okay. We'll find out as soon as someone post some QC pictures.
Even if the screws are perfectly placed, it won’t make it gen or even remotely in the same league. It’s a decent rep, no need to obsess over any one single detail. The rest of the watch is flawed in many ways but it’s unnecessary to pick them all out knowing it’s a sub $500 rep. It’s overall a nice replica and a nice watch to enjoy I believe. If the flaws are to be listed there’s a lot more than just the screw positions.

Well you won‘t find out how deep the water actually is unless you jump in and test it by yourself to feel the truth

Get it lubed up and water resistance tested before you swim with it man. Applies to all watches, rep or gen.

Please back up your statements - otherwise it is simply irritating for less experienced members.
Not to say that your post is worthless and not really contributing to anything without proper argumentation.

That's right. To me the most attractive thing about Audemars Piguet watches is the tapisserie and as was shown by majwilliams0308 XF failed at it.

Pope - In the first place it would help to actually use real life pictures vs real life pictures and not a heavily edited website picture from AP.
And again i only can ask you to elaborate how they failed to replicate the tapisserie pattern so you can say it is „way off“.
You still haven’t provided any argumentation - just a comparison of pictures that we are all abled to process - but what makes this dial so way off?
(don‘t get me wrong - i know that it is not gen like and i know the differences very well - just explain to the community your statement )

Edited or not the number and depth of the grooves is here for you to see, there's no argument to formulate here, just look at the pictures.Pope - In the first place it would help to actually use real life pictures vs real life pictures and not a heavily edited website picture from AP.

If you can't see how wrong XF went, very well for you, unfortunately for me I see it and I do not like it.
The importance of details on a rep is obviously a very subjective thing, there are probably some details that you think are obvious tells and that I personally do not care about at all and vice versa.

Pope all i wanted was you to form a sentence where you back up your claims.
and like i said i am very much abled to see the differences but maybe not the inexperienced majority of readers on a public forum that is influenced by your statements.
if you didn‘t see the point in the first place i hope you do now.
oh and good luck waiting another 3-5 years for a factory to come up with a pantograph to engrave a rep dial.
lol.
