Got my silver dial 15500 today and the rotor was stuck. Removed the case back and rotated it a couple of times and now it is working but very loud. To remove the rotor do I need to remove the 3 screws in the centre as I am going to add some grease?

Yes. A proper rotor assembly grease/service should involve disassembly of the assembly, and cleaning the bearings with alcohol, before oiling them.

Hey there!!

legend this is my first post!!

I’ve just received my ZF AP 15500 and was wondering if you offer this Rotor Silencing service?

Also if you recommend anything else apart from cleaning & oiling the bracelet?

Generally softening/polishing/bevelling the mid case and bracelet is a nice touch, to negate the sharpness and make it more pleasant to wear.

All I can see is the mention of “V2”, which if I remember correctly was just a slightly updated movement decoration.

Uploaded decoration on Miyota movement. Nothing major.
Zf V2 on AP 15400 involved dial. Here there isn't mention about it.

Personally speaking (and nothing against anyone who thinks otherwise), it is meaningless to upgrade the movement decoration if it isn't a clone movement in the first place. Balance wheel location is the first dead giveaway, followed by the faux jewels and subpar decoration finish. Rep watches are meant to be enjoyed on the wrist IMHO and not off the wrist.

100% agree.
Following your recommendation I'm never gonna take mine off - simplest solution :hehehe:
