APSF and ZF Royal Oak 15500 w 4302 clone caliber

Never been a huge fan of the silver dial but this pic singlehandledly changed my mind. Beautiful.

I think the silver dial is definitely underrated mate!
In real life its stunning.

The APSF with the clone movement is suppose to have the quick manual date flip with the crown pulled to position “C” as per the gen correct?

Yes

Yes

Thank you!

God damn it, the modder I sent it to has sent it back with this function not working.

Fist post here. Thanks all for all the information and reviews. have been reading a lot.

What's with the stickers on the back of ZF or APFS, 15500, instead of engraving? will the factories ever get back to engraving?

I like the 15510 50th edition, I can's see the mentioned difference about the seconds hand. I like the engraving but would preffer a clone movement.

That looks amazing! Is it gen?

It's a genuine rep.

New APSF?

After a year of use, the crystal on my Zf v3 has developed a lot of light scratches that are only visible under direct lighting. I’m certain that the cause is the external AR coating on the stock crystal.

As far as I know, this watch (at least gen) shouldn’t have an external AR coating. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or could it be specific to a certain batch?

The sapphire crystal is meant to be scratch resistant but with or without AR coating it can still be scratched, and such scratches can be visible.

I ordered a ZF 15500 from Trusty. V3 with the grey dial. I'll post pics when it arrives for those who are curious.

For those of you who've obtained one of these with the reproduction movement - who did you use to get it serviced - or did you?

Depends where you are located. USA and Asia seem to be better equipped with watchsmiths willing to work on these AP clones than EU, where I've recently seen two modders stop accepting them due to poor reliability and no parts availability.

Serviced mine myself. It’s been rock solid and the power reserve is great, just needed a good clean and lube.

I'm leaning that way. Just have to obtain the proper oils. Did you do a full disassembly or just superficial to get to the lubrication points?

I did a full disassembly, through my cleaning machine then lubricated.

APSF 15500 - Very Impressed (updated with pics of service)

I just thought that I would post my latest pickup. I bought this next door for a great price and as it was UK based, brand new with all the stickers still on, I decided to take the plunge. The last Royal Oak I had was a JF 15400 with an undecorated miyota (pre-deco cover), so I was curious as to ...
