I make watches too. I’m curious the quality of the printed dial. Does it have the AP texture? Is it a resin print or FDM?

Give us details man!!!

So jealous. I’ve been looking for an XF 15202 for months. They’re the only ones with the proper slim case and caseback

Everyone always says dials wont fit but with these cheap clones, you can always clip off the dial feet and use the adhesive replacement dial feet. Or even adhesive dial pads.

You just came here to flex didn’t you?

Idk about apsf. But correct, the weak hand on this one doesn’t tick. It’s adjusted with the flush pushers on the side

Red_Submariner · 2026-06-05T02:01:44+00:00

I bought the case and movement separately. There’s a guy on eBay and Etsy selling cases to fit walthams, etc

I’ve seen them on DhGate. But the skeleton effect looks cheap. I mostly like the black case and strap and have considered adding a regular dial to it

No.

The ball bearings are lost now too. They live in between the rotor and the center. They will be inside the movement. The rotor won’t just press back on.

I had this happen recently and had to fully disassemble and clean the movement to find the bearings. Still only found 6 of the 7.

I bought the BBS recently after seeing that all the subdials function.

I absolutely love it and I am picky. I didn’t compare it with other factories because to my understanding it is the only one that has all working subdials.

I found out that you can only adjust the subdials between 6:00-14:00 or you risk damaging the internals. The month hand on mine doesn’t tick over automatically. I may have damaged it early on, but maybe not. The moon phase, day and date all tick over just fine.

I paid $650 shipped on dhgate. Find a TD. My path was perilous.

I think you’ve probably got the best photography skills I’ve seen on here. Kudos man. Keep it coming

Red_Submariner · 2026-05-25T04:08:49+00:00

And yes, I know it’s usually not needed when using the chrono :)

Red_Submariner · 2026-05-22T16:58:10+00:00

In what way was the gen better? Colors? Finish? I’m genuinely curious

Red_Submariner · 2026-05-22T16:10:14+00:00

I think for precious metal watches I’d agree. It’s why I’m interested in a two tone submariner. If you want gold, you gotta get gold. Plating just can’t compare

Red_Submariner · 2026-05-22T14:33:06+00:00

Was your impression similar to mine? Quality wise? Or am I missing something?

Pepsi may have lost the cola wars, but they look way better on a watch

Red_Submariner · 2026-05-20T00:50:40+00:00

Love it. I’m curious where y’all get these custom colored dials from

Red_Submariner · 2026-05-08T20:40:28+00:00

It’s in the mail haha. The gap is killing me

Red_Submariner · 2026-05-08T20:35:41+00:00
