registratie.internet 0 Posted February 10, 2014 Hi everyone, Got my 15400 a couple of weeks ago and overall it's a good watch. At the very first moment I wasn't completely satisfied with the placement of the bezel , but it's hard to notice when you're wearing the watch. The most important thing, the watch works well, the automatic movement is very nice and date/time are pretty accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You missed it, it was a whole big thing with QC pics getting posted in a thread and a load of arguments over it, the bezel is slightly wokky, or it's just the lighting that makes it look wokky, depends whose side you take lol!

_DC_ 218 Posted February 14, 2014 That bezel would drive me insane... Me too, no two ways about it, that bezel is crazy wonky, personally that would be a returned watch for me!!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

George. 34 Posted February 14, 2014 I'd only ever see that bezel unfortunately :( What happened with that? I seem to remember the QC pics did not clearly show this problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to remember the QC pics did not clearly show this problem The QC pics did clearly show it, but a bunch of people said it was "just the lighting" which was utter bollocks, it was so blatant! Poor bloke he'd already approved them though (otherwise he wouldn't have been allowed to post them)! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's certainly made me look at them far more closely now though however Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daywatch 4 Posted February 15, 2014 Congrats on the AP 15400 and thanks for the pics. We need them much bigger so - huge macroshots to better analyse that bezel-thingy. Just kidding, very happy with my bezel - that is - until now. Have to stop reading reviews And this watch gives it all- wonderfully unique SS bracelet and one of the nicest views of the back too. Wear it well, my pair says hello Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jingo.smile 0 Posted February 15, 2014 Oh now I see, the bezel is slightly off. Man that would drive me insane :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odyseus 1 Posted February 15, 2014 I assume that the bezel is screwed on? In which case they have drilled the case wrong (batch issue maybe). I agree that small flaws like this can drive you up the wall. Did the TD get informed?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sardonix 1 Posted February 15, 2014 It is a great watch i like it better in fit and comfort as the more bulky ROO's bracelet is also absolute stunning. Do not know what price/version the one is from OP. But mine screems quality, was picked up in Bangkok, powered by swiss eta nicely serviced and AR crystal.

Daywatch 4 Posted February 16, 2014 Thx DC - It´s the Ap Leo Messi Chrono (in black its nicer), same size at the AP 15400 but smaller dial, 11,8 mm thin with screwable chronostoppers (like the Daytona). Main seconds hand is locked at 12 or sweeps when in use, its a Myota Microstepper Quartz movement. Seconds at 6 in the sub-dial tick and unfortunately sub-dials are somewhat wrong compared to gen. Goes for just 148 (or 158) from TD Kuvarsit. Quality is very good ++, the strap could be better but I will not change it. (Thin but comfortable, nice clasp) It would take the bracelet of the AP 15400if You file it off a little (less than 1/2 mm on the top right side) but I did not want to damage it and put it back on the APRO. Anyway it´s a great office watch if You don´t mind quartz. As said main seconds hand sweeps which is a very nice feature when using the chrono. Hands and sticks are lumed but its weak rep lume - still can read time in a totally dark room. For the price it´s a keeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneone 0 Posted February 16, 2014 what´s the best Royal Oak 41mm 15400? miyota9015 or A2824 from PT? A2824 has a better dial or? miyota9015 has a better decorated movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're calling it the Lionel Messi on Kuvarsits website but it's not a Lionel Messi at all, the LM doesn't have a Tappiserie dial, this is the Royal Oak chronograph an it's superb, great rep, I may have to invest!! Didn't know anyone did a decent rep of this, so thanks!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted February 16, 2014 It has Leo Messi engraved on the caseback... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted February 16, 2014 It has Leo Messi engraved on the caseback... That's as maybe but still isn't a Leo Messi, the other two dial and metal colours are Leo Messi's with non-textured dial, but the white dial one is a ref 26320 but on leather strap rather than steel bracelet, trust!!!
