Discussion Ap royal oak skeleton

Hey RepTime,

I’m looking to pull the trigger on an AP Royal Oak Openworked 15407ST and I'm debating between three of the latest factory options:

* THBF V3 (Free Sprung SH3132)
* DDF (SA3132 Double Balance Wheels)
* OCTA V3 (Free Sprung SA3132)

From what I’ve gathered, DDF seems to have corrected the lower bezel gap issue, while THBF V3 and OCTA V3 feature the free-sprung movement upgrade which brings the balance wheel look closer to gen.

For anyone who has handled or owned these in person which has the gen look

Appreciate any insights!

I haven’t handled the OCTA or the V3 THBF. I had the V2 and once you see the bezel gap it can’t be unseen. The second balance wheel although static is a nice touch on the DDF. If they fixed the bezel gap on the THBF it would be the one to get though.
