LeSentier Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Gents, I will write this as a seperate post, since I'm not sure if it is read in the "15400 trusty" thread. I am keen on a white 15400, read a lot, saw many of your QC pics. But what I saw today shocked me - on several sites of our dealers, I realized that the movement decoration on the JF makers model reads "PIGUBT" instead of "PIGUET".... can anyone confirm this? On Toro's TF Maker pics it reads correct PIGUET : http://www.torobravos.xyz/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=15400&product_id=958 here are the questions: is it just my eyes, or is the Miyota JF really misspelled? Also the TF seems to be thinner (10mm), cheaper, correct decoration on movement and should therefore be the better choice? I know that the overall finish is said to be better on the JF's, but PIGUBT is a dead giveway... can you pls check and support? many thanks, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mule play Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Had a white one and sold it here. I don't think it had a spelling issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSentier Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thx MP, I still hope that someone grabs his JF 15400 and take a look at the movement.... I already asked twonof our TD's, also with no response until yet... it's simple: turn the 15400 and confirm that it has no "PIGUBT" issue...it really looks like it is misspelled from the pics.... You know this feeling when you're ready to pull the trigger and you habe to wait for answers... thanks for reading! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 TF is good but the bezel screws are a bit bigger than the JF ones. JF ones look more gen-like (but TF dial is better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I turned mine over and looked at the engraving. The E in Piguet is exactly like the E in Audemars. Both E's have a downward and upward stroke to the ends of the E's. I could imagine if the stamp is done incorrectly, the E could look more like a B. I looked at the engraving through an 8X loupe to be sure.

508-Fanatic Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 You really have to cobble two or three of these together to get one that's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
