ZF because it's thinner and better dial. These improvements alone make it a better rep.

One stupid question. How come there is only one number on my ZF caseback? It should be two? As for gen..

Gen model that zf used didn't had both serials, so they repped it as per gen.

Are you referring to the blue dial? Personally, I will say it replicates a late i/early j series. Harder to tell for the rest of the colors without comparing them in hand to the gen.
Definitely not the K, as it has a very different tone and finish, and not the H and early I, which came with a different logo.
The "sunburst" effect some members spoke about, does not appear on every dial. There are matte and gloss variants as well across the different series.

Really tempted to get the blue. However, I think the Blue 15500 is releasing soon so I have to choose between the two...
I've never seen the ZF in person but based on the pictures I think the minute markers are not that clear? (same issue as the JF) Gen has very visible minute markers in almost any angle and lighting. I think the ZF dial and printing is so much better than the JF tho.

Anyway, here is my gen black 15400 for reference.

If you already own the gen 15400 then get the rep 15500 instead. I own the gen blue 15400 and grey 15500 and I intend to sell the 15400 to fund a another Patek. I am contemplating getting a rep blue 15400 and put in the gen blue dial I have on order.

Minute Markers are fine it depends on the light, sometimes they almost can dissapear atleast on my blue dial which is very vibrant.

Really nice watch man. The minute markers will never be good, no factory will ever release that. They have no problem to make it, but they still want people to buy the next version and the next and the next... ;-)

So ZF replicates late i / early j series and JF replicates h series?
