APSF just released their AP 15500 with SA4302 Super Clone Movement!!!

[dashindark]

I see, thanks a lot for the insight.
I am not very familiar, I just checked AP website, seems 15510 use 4302 movement also?
Currently gen 15510 is using white green blue dial, is it possible to swap a 15500 white or blue dial?
About the bracelet is there different to 15500? Please let me know.

Thanks a lot for educating!

where are you located?

How much are you willing to pay if it can be upgraded to 15510 (with a custom dial and rotor)?

Feel free to share whatever is new but leave the potential buy/sell intentions out of the thread thanks

Ordered APS 15500, rotor is quite loud, is it normal?

As is the case with most if not all reps mate…a good cleaning and oiling should make it better, or at least more bearable. Although some of my gens can be heard also but it’s more of a smooth whirring

It is a fallacy that luxury watches are silent. This is false because:

1. Mechanical self winding watches will ALWAYS have some degree of rotor sound and
2. For uni-directional winding movements the sound is generally louder.

"Quite loud" is a very subjective term. But if your watch is completely silent when held next to your ear, something is wrong.

100% true. The Patek 5711 genuine article is louder than most of the Miyota based reps people send for "silencing". . Hope you are doing well A.

And I hope you’re good too!
True, the gen 5711 sounds like a cheap toy. Arguably worse than a miyota I agree.

hi @legend would you happen to know if the zf dial be a direct fit to the apsf dial?

Im planning to get the apsf 15500 and swap zf black dial to it.

Thank you!

*I’ve ordered* already the apsf clone movement before the release of clone.

If its the ZF dial on a clone movement, it should theoretically fit the APSF movement.
If its the ZF dial with the miyota movement, the feet will need to be clipped to fit.

Somehow the tappiseries of the APSF 15500 look distinctively inaccurate vs gen. The grey and silver dials also look egregiously awful in terms of color. Don't get me wrong, they are very nice watches on their own. ZF seems to have made the 15500 dials much better IMHO.

Get the ZF if you want a nice dial. Their dials are better looking.

I had an APSF on order but changed it to the ZF because of this very reason

did you get the 15500 or 15400?

will your ZF come with clone movement or 9015?
