You can unscrew the caseback, then undo the bolt from the back for that specific position, pop it out and realign it. Only thing then is because it's done by you without testing any waterproofing is out the window.

Lol I realized my watchsmith put the top right bezel screw in unaligned. Doh. Is there a way I can fix that? I have basic tools. Otherwise I’ll send it back out but it’ll take a week or two.



You will need an AP-5230AL tool to unscrew the lugs that hold the screws in place. Have a look at my posts. I have a guide there which shows you how. I've made the same mistake myself

not completely sure, but it looks like the good fellas from ZF improved the dial finish

I really like it, but is a little bit rough and the screws must be polished. But with the instant date it feels very nice :)

Do we even know that ZF will release a rose gold V3 and we’re waiting for the release date, or don’t we know that they’re even going to make one?

I’ve been waiting for like 9 months and nothing about the RG V3. Only ASPF which what I’ve read is a bit less quality compred to ZF V3s.

I don‘t know sir.
But after thinking, if they will do one, it will much lighter as a gen one.

I’m thinking of buying the blue leather band version. That way the weight will be closer to gen compared to full RG link. Even if it still will differ ofcourse.

I have read the comments and recommendations and ordered a ZF V3 15500 Blue dial from a TD.
The TD has now had two in hand without clearing QC. One had a keyless works issue and the other had a date wheel issue.
I am so grateful that the TD was being diligent.
Now, the recommendation is for an APSF version of the watch. Same specs with blue dial/super clone A4302
I zeroed in on the ZF V3 build based on reading, but having a watch that works will be benefical as well.

Anyone knows where I can get new screws?
Or did you know, if I let it polished it will be like the white gold gen ones?

The QC photos looked very good. It is just that the watch did nto function well.
