Hopefully the parts will be compatible so I can mod myself a "better" version
Any pictures out from ZF yet?
For reply to your question you can find a zf dial prototype into the zf 15500 thread.

simply wait for ZF and JF
Too thick at 11mm. OM's 15400 has a 10.5mm thickness, they could've done it here as well.
Actually, the gen 15500 is thicker than the 15400 so 10.7 for the 15500 is correct
This thread is about the OP 15500 which they stated was 11mm on their website, which is thicker than gen. The gen AP 15500 is 10.4mm thick which is what is stated on their website. A 10.7mm thickness for the AP 15500 is incorrect, I don't know where you got that information from.
I didn't mean it is EXACTLY correct...just that compared to the 15400, the 15500 is thicker (10.4mm) and therefore the rep of a 15500 should be a lot closer to the gen. The OM 15400 has been reviewed by a TD on the RWG forum (see attachment) with a thickness of 10.2mm vs 9.8mm. Why would the OM 15500 increase from 10.2 to 11 when using the same base Miyota movement. Hence, my assumption that the OM 15500 should be correct when released.
As I stated earlier, I'm going by what is given by the OM website, not a non-TD's review. A more accurate assessment would be a side to side comparison with the gen. The upcoming entrants from ZF and JF should also be considered.

You do realise the images you quoted in your reply are a side to side comparison with a gen, right ? Link to full article below:

Draw whatever conclusion you wish to, I have no skin in the game.
I was referring to the gen 15500 not gen 15400, there is no picture of the gen 15500 in your referenced link.
Any update if the OMF is worth a damn? Maybe the blue dial version was better than the black that was criticized here?

ZF is coming with the 15500 so stay away
