Hi everyone! Received my ZF AP 15450 today (the steel version with the grey dial) and its an absolute beauty! Can’t keep my eyes off of it.

I was wondering for those that are more familiar with AP’s and perhaps the ZF 15450 in specific - what improvements/mods can/should be made to this watch if you want to perfect it? I’m not so much talking about putting in a gen dial or gen parts but just mostly small things like white gold plating (for screws etc), instant date change mod, perhaps a better dial from another factory, etc etc.

Would love to hear your thoughts - I'm quite new to the replica watch game but can see how this can get very addictive, very quickly..

P.S. The instant date change is something I'd like to do 100%, I did some research and found @slaughterer62 to be the best modder for AP's in the European time zone but I can't send him a PM. Does anyone know if he is still actively doing this or does anyone know of another EU based AP modder?

When I say perfect it - I mean to say further improve the watch.. I'm aware it cant be perfect.

If you've been researching, you would have found many threads on what others have been modded. You can also reach out to @legend as one of the legendary modders and subject matter experts when it comes to APs. I've send him many APs to mod and he's built a couple for me as well.

Visit the RWI Trusted Dealer, AMF (Alpha Modding) website, and check out their modified ZF 15450. They can modify a ZF 15450 to your needs/wants. I suggest you order an extra link or two as many members find the bracelet a bit tight. All the best.

Thank you both for your replies. Legend is CONUS area and AMF is Asia and doesn’t accept incoming watches (they source the watch and then mod it) so out of luck on those two.. need someone who’s in the EU. Any recommendations?

Je ne sais pas en tout cas après avoir fait un service sur une montre il s'est avéré que la date change à 4h du matin au lieu de minuit et que je n'ai plus de nouvelles depuis que j'ai demandé à ce qu 'il corrige son erreur. Je ne recommande pas du tout ce garçon

Modification programme:
1. dial, hands, calendar
2. case and strap polishing
If conditions permit, it is recommended to do both jobs at the same time, otherwise choose 1.


I'll show you the effect
