Hi all,

I’m thinking of going for one of these and have read all the posts I can find about this. Can anyone help make my decision regarding what factory to go for with this?

Thanks in advance.

From what I can tell, ZF has the better dial as usual with AP reps, but everything else looks comparable.

I don't really remember which one was which but you need to pay attention to the crown - one of the crowns on ZF or APSF is very weird, it's transparent white/off white compared to the rest of the case.

I'm after 15707CB for a long long time. In gen and in rep.
As far as I can tell, from the current production, I would go hybrid. ZF base, custom dial, custom DW, custom xtal.

as far as i'm aware, APSF has discontinued their white 15707, so you really have no choice in the matter. lol

but if you can get your hands on an APSF from back stock, i would go that route. apsf certainly has a better dial. the translucent crowns were from the first iteration and were updated. there have been silent upgrades to the APSF white 15707 and different dial variations. there's only one dial i personally like of the variants which i haven't seen in the wild for quite some time....the latest APSF dial me thinks is still better than the ZF, as the ZF looks a bit too plastic-y to me...

this is the last dial iteration from APSF (pics from the other 15707 thread), so you see a different from the above pic?
