Oh I understood you perfectly lol.
But my apology was a courtesy to you and all other guys from UK for the comment on the weather, in case it was seen as a disparaging remark. So how’s your 15500 doing?

If you take the time to read the thread, you will find a few wrist shots. My grey ZF 15500 has been posted here
If you are deciding between black and grey, choose grey. I don’t have pics for you but I don’t want to justify my advice but go for grey.

Haha ok, we don’t get offended by comments about our weather, it’s a bit of a national joke here!
15500 is great, gains around 8 secs per day which I’m very happy with.
She is a deep sea diver professional, she should be fine with humidity ahaha

Thank you guys! I also noticed that you are planning to do comparison between zf grey vs gen. Thats super! Those both colours look stunning and I´ve been watching so many pics of those watches. Is it just me or is the zf grey bit darker than the gen grey colour? Those both colours black and grey are probably bit more matte than the gen but I think that the black color might be harder to fail.
Firstly, If you have not held the gen and rep watch side by side, try not to make such statements. They can be misleading for the rest.
Second, if you are inclined toward the black, then get the black. You do not need to involve the community to make this decision for you when you already made your own choice.
Lastly, it simply does not matter if the rep dial is more matte, or glossier, or looks the same as the gen one. Its still a $500 replica watch and for those who know, you won't fool them and for those who don't, they won't care. Get what you like.
Grey or black, both are preferred by different members. You are not making a decision about a $20,000 watch, but a $500 one. I decided on the color for my gen alone and within 3 seconds. So is choosing the rep color such a tough choice? Even if you buy both and sell away the one you like less, its still a $1000 (-$400 sales return) decision and simply a matter of instinctive preference, and not which dial is closer to gen.
The reality is that both are reps and even if they look spot on, you will always know they are replicas. So get the one you prefer based on visual observation and not if this or that is "more gen-like".

My recommendation for qc is to scan every pixel as best as you can in zoom. If you see something that looks beyond reasonable then you can ask for clarification. If the td sends more pictures and it is still bothersome, just request a new one.

Yes and while you are scrutinizing each pixel of a $500 rep remember to also micro examine each detail on screen under a 100x loupe to ensure that every cent of the $500 is well spent and accounted for. Don’t forget also drawing scores of grid lines to make sure that everything is perfectly aligned.
Come on, it’s a cheap rep. Manage your expectations accordingly. Blatant flaws should be rejected of course but scan every pixel? I don’t do that for my $20k gen. Lol.

I'd say that anyone who ever owned a few gens wouldn't do this type of 1000%-QC. My gens all had/have some kind of minor flaws when photographed and analyzed on atomic level. Fun fact: I never even knew, I just did this to compare the gen to QC photos of an Omega AT I ordered recently...
All high end gens are hand assembled and will show microscopic flaws and defects when zoomed x times. How can the rep be expected to be better? Lol

Oh and don’t forget to make sure you’re getting the new 1:1 clone movement for it. It’s exclusive to new members of RWI that are worthy. The TDs decide if you’re worthy depending on how much of a pain in the ass you are during QC. The more you bother them, the higher your odds.

I’m relatively new here, so apologize if this question sounds silly. I’ve come across the Sticked NWBIG list thats heavily viewed in this forum.
My question is where the ZF 15500 falls in this classification? Would it be considered a NWBIG? superclone? A watch with minor tells if closely examined?
I know this watch is relatively new, so I can understand if there isn’t a consensus yet.
