ZF AP 15500

[Sonofalich]

Bracelet is fantastic, it's just a shame there is no form of adjustment on this watch at all. Getting a perfect fit is mainly luck, the VC Overseas latest version has a quick adjustment and I think AP and then our Chinese friends need to catchup.

I think its the only flaw of the RO tbh.

The bracelet is the highlight of the watch, gen or rep. I never got the hype of this watch until I saw one in person and saw how the bracelet caught the light. The dial is very nice but the bracelet is unlike any other watch. If you put this on a rubber strap, it wouldn't impress me that much.

Same here, I can’t understand why anyone would want to put a different strap on it!

Absolutely agree, I don’t wear it during the day when I’ll be walking and doing stuff getting warm as then the RO starts to strangle my wrist. If I add one link it’s too loose even when I’m warm, and far too loose when I’m cool.

For me it’s just a dress watch for evenings out, when we can start going on evenings out again!

+1.
IMHO the royal oak should always be worn on bracelet as it just completes the look of the watch and brings out the best in its appeal.

Rubber on RO = crime

Hello guys,

Is there any way of knowing if ZF will release a rose gold version of their 15500? (Black dial for the win!)

I'm mesmerize with the gold shining and the modern look of the 15500 but really don't want to go with OMF after all the comments made about their built...

Ask a magic 8 ball, no-one knows. This isn't Amazon unfortunately... nobody knows until we all do really. Its quite a hush hush operation in general.

Anyone with a blue dial, may I request you to please post an indoor and outdoor pic? Trying to get an idea if it is the same or different from ZF15400. Much appreciated!!

I thought gold reps were a bad idea, as the finish degrades quickly?

I have a IWC Annual Calendar in rose gold and it's holding up really nice! But I didn't made any scratches (yet...)

Wow, that’s a beauty!! Looks like another one got added to my list

Oh and I also read somewhere here that that there is the possibility of re-plating the case and/or bracelet.

Yeah that’s what I heard too, I’d rather stick with steel.

I have a 6.5in wrist
Considering the 15500 as it’s one of the my favorite watches period, but I know APs wear large.
Anyone here with a small wrist like mine think it fits well and doesn’t look too big on the wrist?

7inch here, 15400 wear perfectly

Have a 6.8inch wrist, the 15400 wore ok for my taste (i think up to 42mm watches are fine on me). Waiting for my 15500 to arrive.

I've got a 15-16cm wrist and I think it looks fine, it's obviously got some wrist presence but i like that look.

Can anyone advice how many links should i remove from the bracelet if my wrist is 6.5’’ inch in diameter?
