Well look at the movement ffs. The box can say “huge dildo“…

but yes. What we call V3 ZF calls V2. But still check the movement

What exactly is updated?

Engraved movement? Dial?

Those would be interessting. Especially the engraved movement.
Honestly, the “rumour” is kinda baseless. I got it from a youtube comment (by a seller) lol attached is the screenshot of it

If it does come to be true, that's great, but "an update of undisclosed significance" isn't much to go on.

Just wanted to chime in that I'm having a great time with the V3 to the point where a lot of the potential cosmetic mods seem much less attractive to me now. Not pointless as I'm sure they improve the watch on a technical level, but I have to give it to legend, it is a hell of a lot of watch at this price point, period.

Photos don't really do it complete justice as the dial can be marginally more dynamic than shown, but will attach anyway. I definitely understand the criticism of ootb factory dials in general being flatter shine-wise relative to the genuine article, though I am a fan of the bit more muted/subdued look it can bring, and the construction. I do wonder how they will end up tackling things like the ice blue dials that explode with brilliance.

For what this watch is though, it is excellent (to me). I'm sure other can find a million different things wrong, but I do love it for what it is.

Have just ordered a ZF 15500 V3 clone....should I have waited for a potential new model?

I'm debating doing a dial swap. DP dials feel too shiny, ZF feel a little lacklustre, but heard the MPF dial is a good compromise.

What's everyone's opinion?

It’ll probably be a while until you see another update, and even when it comes out, you wont be able to tell much of a difference. Be happy you got one of the best AP reps ootb, oh and congrats on the order!
