Interesting, thanks for sharing. Weird that the rotors looks RG on AP's website. Guess the clone 4302 should be very gen-like, will probably look into getting the ZF v3 (I'm glad they fixed the JEWEES typo LOL). I'll share some side-by-side comparison pics of the ZF v2 blue dial and ZF v3 blue dial.
The AP factory 15500 is truely 1:1 lolI attach a photo of one of my gen 15500s. The rotor is YG. I understand how lighting and rendering can affect color tones and that is why I always say that colors should only be compared when the actual product is in hand and not off the internet. Too many members do that and come to the wrong conclusion and worse, spread the wrong info to others.
Would you say ZF v3 15500st is NWBIG if a gen dial is installed? It already has a clone movement and case shape is almost 1:1...No. NWB.
To each his own, Mr C. But if you are asking my opinion, I will reply yes to your question.
The biggest tell for any rep AP for me is the wearer. Typically guys tend to worry too much about tells without putting themselves into the equation.
Physical feature tells are pretty subjective. Some find the same color difference more acceptable and some can deal better with finish or thickness differences. You’re free to state your opinion like anyone else and it’s up to the guy you’re addressing whether he agrees. That’s how members in this community learn and decide for themselves what is the “greatest tell” for themselves and whether it’s worth for them to procure or wear any specific rep, and why learned opinion matters. Thank you.
