APSF and ZF Royal Oak 15500 w 4302 clone caliber

LUNA festival = Chinese new year?
custom blue dial = ?

Yes, I meant Chinese new year. Yes, My TD said, there will be a custom blue dial out after CNY. But he didn't provide me with any info, maker or photos. I've read somewhere in the forum that Sir LEGEND accept blue dial is the best one. Or Should I wait for another option?

Afaik custom dials have been available from WeChat sellers like DP Refit for a while:

Oh that ice blue

So what do these offer? Closer to gen or just more interesting custom variations vs. stock?

Out of the box, can anyone confirm how the rotor noise the clone movements compares to the Miyota?

I actually can't, because I never had the Miyota. But I heard that it can be annoyingly loud, so I can at least say that the clone mvmt (in mine) doesn't annoy me.

Thanks for confirming. I may pull the trigger on one

Based on my DP 15202 dial I'd vote for the latter one but I've never seen those dials in person.

How much did you pay for yours, if I may ask?

These are not 15500 dials. They are 15510 dials. There's more discussion on the 15510 threads. In my opinion they are better than the stock ZF plasticy dials, but the tapisserie squares are a tad small, and their asking price of $400 is quite high. I have not seen these dials in 15500 format.

A wrist shot of stock ZF 15500 under artificial office lighting for sharing:

Nice!

.. their asking price of $400 is quite high.

Hmmmm okay, interesting.

Yeah. That's not exactly cheap ...

Is there a post or thread for comparison photos or video of GEN vs Rep dial for 15500 ZF v3 blue dial?
I heard that the blue custom dial will be out after the LUNA festival.
Should I wait or not?

So what stands this "blue custom dial" for? Is it meant to be the Tiffany Ice-Blue Dial?

I’ve also heard rumors about custom dials coming after CNY. According to my WeChat guy the custom 15500 dial will be from the same workshop that made the custom 15510 dials. I’m keen to see the quality since I’m not too happy with the quality of the markers on my APSF:

If it is, custom dial will come from DP refit.
It's too small to see the flow.
Is the color and quality of ZF v3 dial good enough?

1. I have no idea... but if we wait, everything will be revealed.
2. I have not idea what your question is even asking.
3. There is only one person who can answer that question, and the person is you.

2. The hour marker of your dial, it's too small to see.

I agree... if I were to polish a watch it'd look like chicken scratch.

Actually chicken feet do feature in my brushing tool repertoire. They aren't so bad if you know the right chicken to use.
