Can the screw alignment be fixed easily on a 15500?

About to GL this but noticed the screw heads are a bit misaligned, is this normal? If it is can i unscrew (from the back obviously) and realign myself or should i just RL?

Of course, mate. The main advertise is to pay attention to scratches on superior screws. A protective film or a plastic mini screwdiver is hardly suggested during the process.

Or you can entrust it to a specialist like legend along with other improving jobs like hand base correction or case and bracelet refinish.

Shit I would've completely forgotten about the protective film if you hadn't reminded me! Thanks!!

Quite possibly in the future, but I'm just so new to this and have ordered nearly a dozen reps and haven't received a single one yet (the waiting zone for me right now).For now I just want to get my hands on these lovely creations :)

During the wait you can read through the writings about your reps, can be getting familiar with their possible flaws and their possible fixes. This way when you receive and are wearing your watches you will have been able to identify those flaws that you cannot live with but can be fixed by modding or frankening. But be prepared, this can be an endless game :p.

Oh I have! Legend seems like a really nice fellow but shipping to Singapore will take forever now with all the backlog of parcels in Australia. I also just finished reading 136 pages on the ZF 15500! I think I can live with all of those tiny defects at least for now, my expectations are very low so hopefully I’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Accepting flaws is a straight way to the nirvana of rep world. Those tiny screw head misalignments are normal for APRO reps. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this watch and the others in RL. Wear them in good health.

Yes I have. I dismounted my 15500 several times in order to modify it with dlc plasma treatment. Also, I made the waterproofing on it as well as for my 15703 and my 15400
