Hello and welcome to
The club - my black one arrived! After over one month of shipping.

Stunning piece- nice color and mine has perfect aligned screws I think!

Nice photo! But isn’t it a blue dial ?

Guys, pardon me if it’s asked here before but did anyone actually figure out or found a source to get a Gen dial for the 15500. Movement aside I think it’ll really add to the feel of the watch for a fraction of a price as the GT dial has a lot of history in itself

15500 is pretty new, spare parts are super rare and also super expensive! They'll come, but now it'd be a very very rare item.

I was worried ZF would struggle to capture the silver tones but have a look at this unfiltered pic, it’s a beauty!

Also got my first bezel dings by the 11 screw.....ooops

Interestingly when I woke up it was sitting a bit low yet when I pulled the crown and tried to advance date slowly but not all the way to bring it up - it’s sitting perfectly in the centre. Something to keep in mind as it could be the quick date change that’s the issue and can be adjusted slightly manually

I personally tend to always mod my reps that I intend to keep, to have a better “experience”. For this ZF I didn’t mod it cuz an opportunity came and I got the gen. However, the only thing I would mod is the rotor silence. It’s that good of a rep.

I feel like an oil bath to the zf bracelet will even be good enough to not warrant a full softening bracelet work.

I was initially skeptical about the Silver color but looks like ZF got the shade right.

I love the black-grey Shadow of the black one! It is just so nice build quality, it’s a pleasure to wear it!

But you are not allowed to shake your arms - otherwise the rotor will kill the ambiente:-D

Looking at these photos I'm starting to regret I've ordered black one. White is one of the most impressive colors of AP dials and this looks stunning. The sunburst is impressive.

Any chance of you making a quick video with the white one you just got? Looks incredible, but I think I, as well as many others, would greatly appreciate checking out how that sunburst shimmers in the sunlight. The ZF 15400 is spot on. This new white 15500 looks to be on the same track from what I've seen so far.

I also think the silver dial is really amazing.

Maybe I will get the silver dial too.

But the only thing I dislike is the color difference from dial to DW - maybe this is a major thing from ap - not from ZF.

At black dial it doesn‘t look so much like color difference from dial to DW.
