Realised I was comparing two different watches!
Would 4302 or Japanese miyota 9015 24J automatic movement at 28800vph be superior. Then I think I can pull the trigger!
Thanks for the advice and guidance.

Legand said question had already been answered meaning 3120 and 9015 must be the same.
Read above and previous page.
So would 4302 or Japanese miyota 9015 24J automatic movement at 28800vph be superior?

Sorry I got confused with you saying 3120 and 9015 are the same movements? you mean 9015 decorated to look like 3120? To be honest I’m a noob when it comes to movements, apologies
To clarify am looking at two AP 15500 watches and trying to figure out which is superior so I know which one to buy.
After the latest and greatest AP 15500.
One has Asian super clone AP cal. 4302 movement, and the other has Japanese miyota 9015 24J automatic movement at 28800vph.
There is only $10 difference between the two watches. Not too sure what the difference is between them if they have same movement?

I’ve replied you earlier. The clone 4302 movement is better.To clarify am looking at two AP 15500 watches and trying to figure out which is superior so I know which one to buy.

Buy the one with the clone movement. In this case the APSF.To clarify am looking at two AP 15500 watches and trying to figure out which is superior so I know which one to buy.

Yes I didn't realise the 3120 and 9015 were the same hence why I asked.
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

The movement of APSF might be better than of ZF, but how do other details compare in your opinion? APSF vs ZF v2
Well I would say the ZF dial is better for the blue and black colors. But overall, there is no reason to buy the ZF v2 anymore IMHO.
to clarify these are the movements available for the 15400 and 15500
15400
1. Miyota movement decorated as the 3120 caliber
2. The 3120 clone caliber
15500
1. Miyota movement decorated as the 4302 caliber
2. Th 4302 clone caliber
Hope this clears things up for you finally.
The bezel "screws" on the 15500 are actually a misnomer, as they are decorated bolt heads. They are also polished stainless steel now as opposed to being white gold.
32 JEWEES typo aside, would you recommend the ZF 15500v3 with the clone over the APSF 15500 clone in black? Thanks
Given the better dial, and apparently nicer looking hands, I will. I have not had one in hand yet, so this is from pictures which I have seen.

Thanks for the info. Didn’t know they change to stainless steel now. That’s a good thing then not having to WG gold plate the bezel screws anymore.
