I have to say, words cannot even come close to describing how amazing a job legend did on my ZF 15500 v2.
It started as the basic white/silver dial, which I regretted getting, but the blue was just not very good looking at the time.
Well, legend told me that ZF just recently upgraded their blue dial, so he ordered a new v3 blue dial/datewheel for me, and performed his dial mod on it.
He also beveled, polished, and rebrushed the case, mid case, and bracelet to gen spec, polished and aligned the bezel screws, and serviced/silenced the rotor bearing assembly.
That man truly is a legend.
I tried a few different angles to show the color of the dial, cloudy day for pictures unfortunately.

Basically its a bit of that Je Ne Sais Quoi thing mixed with unicorn powder and fairy dust. In your specific watch I should have gone easy on the unicorn powder to avoid you turning into an wrist model C :legend:
Been a pleasure to work with you sir. Thank you as always.
I think ZF has updated the 15500. V3?
The dial is much better now. This is from a QC I rejected for other reasons btw.

Stock zf v3 blue dial looks amazing
I Think this is the best blue dial have seen from a ap rep
Could you answer the question please Al? I'm curious at what you do too please. I might be interested in your services at some point with my 15202 obsessions! Although.. I keep telling myself to wait for the 16202 rep because date-change = omg why?
You should see the dial mod that I tried to do with clear lacquer (matte) lol. I completely fucked it up. The liquid just filled up the machine lines and blurred out the tapp squares. Lol. This one looks great actually. Would be good to see before Vs after close ups tho...obviously I don’t expect A to share details of his special unicorn mix. Ha
here is a link to the thread.

Anyone have a recommendation on a screwdriver that doesn't damage the caseback screws? Even using plastic film between the driver head and the screw damages mine. I want something that fits perfectly. Bergeon but what size?
Woooaa
the Version 3 with the new dial is sick.
does anybody know how the 15500 zf compares to the 15400 apsf? I am thinking of getting one but don’t know which.
the apsf in white looks great but this new blue dial…shait
