The AP questions thread (All the questions you want to ask about AP but were afraid to)

[elusive1]

Bro read the past 5 pages and the thread on the new APSF 26240. Yes this is the no flame zone but that doesn’t allow for laziness!

I did, everyone was talking about 15400-15500.

The apsf26240 looks good, but it’s like $900 and only available in 3 colors currently.

I was specifically asking about BF vs IPF but I guess no one has experience with those models.

Yeah, maybe there’s a reason for that.
You’ve asked for advice and received sound advice. What you choose to do with it is entirely up to you.

15400 Hand Opinion needed.
I have recieved ZF 15400 few weeks ago. I have found the white part (luming part) on hour & minute hands is kind of dull.
Meaning it is not fully white, a little bit greyish.
I have also checked other ZF 15400 hands QC pictures and it looked same.
On the other hand, I've looked at APSF and SW hands - and it looked better.
It looked much more white in the lume and the second hand's handhole finishing was better.

I want a second opinion on this if I am wrong about my judgement before I spent more money on this watch

This is ZF's hands


And this is APSF Hands

I think the lume on your zf looks fine, uncharged. It’s the very thin area which can cause the color of the lume strip to look different from what it already is.
Look at it in sunlight to see if the color issue persists. If it does you can consider reluming it.

Thank you so much legend!

Hey guys! I got a "Royal Oak Offshore Diver 15707 Black Ceramic ZF 1:1 Best Edition SA3120 Super Clone" for Christmas from a friend. I want to ask what is the proper way to setup time and date on it without damaging or ruining the movement? Thank you!

First unscrew the crown and then wind the watch until the second hand starts moving. Then wind 20 times more.
Pull out the crown all the way and set the hands to 6:30. Then you can safely quickset the date.
