Does anyone have any photos of a 15500 next to lets say a Daytona, Submariner, AP Diver?

I am very tempted to get one, my wrist should be large enough (7.5inch) but I'm still worried about the size...

My wrist is 7.3 inches. This is how it looks on me.

Just taken delivery of the white dial from Li over at Jtime and it so cool. So stunning OOTB and even got lucky enough to have a relatively quite movement which was one of my main concerns. Only thing that I have to say bugs me is the AP square on the clasp doesn’t quite meet perfectly flush ( yes I’m being pedantic). Anyways what a fine to be in the game !

Congrats! Personally the silver/white dial does grow on one after a while. It’s a very elegant color and the dial color just complements the design of the watch nicely. I don’t own a ZF myself but a watch is about how it looks and feels in real life, not what factory it’s from.

Mine says hi!

Would buy one if it wasn't the miyota mechanism... to noisy for me.

I really don’t understand the problem with noisy miyota, I have 2 and they are not noisy at all at least as noisy as my gen breitling and Rolex, and even if there is some noise, 20$ at the watchmaker will fix it.

Do any of you ZF 15500 owners also own the older 15202 Quartz, which is very thin? I wonder how the two compare in terms of bracelet's comfort.

I am interested to buy ZF, but bracelet's comfort is a big deal for me. I had the thin 15202 Quartz for a bit in the past, and sold it because I could not stand the bracelet. I am just trying to get some idea about the comfort of ZF bracelet, which apparently is not as good as JF's.

I also have JF 15450 and found no problems with its bracelet.

ZF 15500 bracelet concerns are a bit over reacted to on this forum. Yes, the edges are sharp but I have not felt any discomfort during daily wear (sometimes upto 6 hrs). Many members have smoothed out the edges which you could try.
