APSF and ZF Royal Oak 15500 w 4302 clone caliber

[speedywombat]

Ok I got the flashlight pics, now I'm not so sure if this is the old version or new version. Can anyone chime in?

Again, I’m no expert but looks like same old story to me. With some crooked markers at 12. Must me the same person doing a steady job lmao.

The sunburst effect looks decent enough, but so it does on my ZF's v3.

I must say, the zf v3 can look sometimes very like plastic🥹

I think it might be the exact same watch too if that happened to be rejected in QC.

Minus crooked indices, that is

Funny you should say that as this is the common comment on ASPF dial. Personally, haven't noticed anything plastic about my ZF but I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder And if I dint know what to look for, I don't want to change that

How it is it, it looks very nice. Miss but in some perspectives the sunburst.

Proper sunburst for comparison

Not so bad tbh. It‘s a rep, and a good rep.
But if I get a chance to buy a gen dial for a good offer, I would

Very "light and angle dependant" indeed. But, I saw some subdued gen's pics, so it's to be expected. For 500 bucks, I'm golden

The newer rep 15500 dials are mostly good and black isn’t the best color to illustrate a sunburst finish effect as you know. Your dial looks nice but so do most of the 15500 dials I see here.
The only proper and correct sunburst is the gen dial. The rest will look good but because the gen and rep dials are constructed differently the finishes will always look different.

For any amount of money, you sir are golden.

Personally not a fan of frosted AP, but looking at the photo it looks like they’ve updated the grey dial on the 15500?
Looks closer to DP dial

Seems like it. Also in the pic is 2 versions of the black dial, both old and new. Hope they update the non-frosted version soon.

Gentlemen, I’ve just received QC pics for my APSF 15500. I spesifically asked for an up-dated dial. Does this look like one of the newer improved versions?

It is improved over the previous one yes.

The markers @ 12 need braces....

So apparently they released the white dial first. Other colors are being released as we speak but right now APSF is backlogged on orders and they don't have stock. So it seems to be a while until we can get them.

How do these new dials look?
