I see someone has snapped up the blue one already!

It was me as soon as I seen this post and went straight over and emailed him, I was goner purchase the 15400 through kswtaches but seen as they had the 15500 in blue in EU I bought it before it goes.

I have seen a few frankens which look like cheap parodies
...

it’s not always about the amount and time spent on the watch ...

I have never really seen a Franken AP that looked like a "cheap parody." Sorry if I missed it (or them, as it seems there are more than one), maybe link it here in this thread or PM me.

On second point, beg to disagree: the more time is spent on a build, the better it is. This seems like an almost failsafe golden rule to the dismay of those who want a quick turnaround. Polish a genuine platinum mid-case or work on a perpetual calendar movement and you will know what I mean...

No idea actually, I took one M2M because I wasn't sure 100% Sead had it, considering that for the blue I wrote him that I will take him immediately after he posted the updated list

So is the general consensus that this is a better all-round rep than the current crop of 15400 coming out from JF and ZF?

yes so far this is the best one until someone relases something better than this or with clone movement

legend is due to do a comparison in the near future. So hopefully in a few weeks we'll be able to see!

Personally, I have the black here and blue on the way... and the black is beautiful. Hoping the blue is as nice!

I'll do pics once I get my blue, then I can compare the two dials :)

Should be this week, I think Fri/Sat... or if I'm unlucky next Monday :(

I just received a black one! Awesome watch. Weird thing was glass was crystal clear on the QC pics but when I got it, I realized that there were two little specks of dirt on the crystal. They must have got loose during shipment. I opened it up and blew it away with the air tool. This also gave me a change to observe how this watch was put together. Very cool design with case sandwiched between the case back and bezel, which the bezel separated independently from the case, letting me get rid of the dirt without removing the movement. Here are couple pics after the clean up.
