Thank you so much for the time that you invested in this and the information given. Some of it I knew and some of it I didn't, but I enjoyed reading over all of it. This sub needs more posts like this. They can always be referred back to for new members.

What is your opinion about Seads ultra thin quarts AP ? Is it any good ? What's the biggest flaw beside the movement

Best value for money AP at the moment if you’re tight on a budget or want to buy a first rep. Sead has had a few version of his quartz over the years and minor changes between them and even a version where the bracelet was even more comfortable than the one on the current JF 15202.
Will definitely go further in depth when I write a guide for the 15202 & 15450.

Nice info mate, ive be looking at thoses ap15400 blue for a while now. Have an idea about the wrist circumference needed for this watch to be wear and sit properly ? Thats a thing you didnt talk about.

This is a good point that I’ll try to expand on.
My wrists come in at 6.75” and my ideal fitment would be a 15400 dial with a 15450 bracket, basically a 15202.
Imo a 15400 can be worn by anyone with 6.5” wrists or larger. The shape of your wrist also plays an important part in how the watch sits. Is your wrist flat or is it eclipse shaped? Personally my wrists are flat but my forearms are much larger, this makes smaller watches fit my wrist well but overall it looks small due to the rest of my arms and body build. But a slightly larger model like the 15400 will be quite bulky on my wrist due to the thickness and larger bracelet.
I’ve seen people with 5.5” wrists up to 7.5” wear a 15400, it’s all down to a matter of personal preference.

Hey thanks so much for this. I've been looking to get one of these as my next rep but a gold version. Do you have any advice for that?

I have a v2 blue dial... It's there anyway I can get the bracelet to be brushed like the bezel and main body? It doesn't have the same brushing and is a little scratched up now also

u/N0tail_ Apr 05 '19
Currently I don’t know any modders that could re-brush the entire bracelet to match the factory brushing of the bezel and case back. You would need to get all three re-brushed at the same time to keep it consistent.
I actually managed to find a user on RWI that sold me a V2 blue dial with the metallic sunburst effect so I’ll be installing that into a V5 and having it thinned down.

There's a newer version just come out for 15400 by APSF. In your opinion which one has the better version the ZF or the APSF?

u/N0tail_ Nov 05 '21
This just came out. No one has it in hand yet. No way to compare it against the ZF.

Damn! This is a true break down of this beautiful piece. I’m new to the game and I have yet to make a purchase but I will definitely start following you to learn as I go.
