ZF 15400 - First pictures

[Tigerdragon]

Looks not that bad to be honest.

Bullflo3 there is no way the bezel screws can be turned/rotated, they are hexagon. Think about it.
They probably took it apart and fixed it.

I agree with the 12 o'clock markers

Does anyone if the plots are interchangeable between this ZF 15400 and JF (or between XF 15202 and JF)?

 

[Jurgenk]

Even gen 12 o’clock markers are sometimes off a little.

This version looks pretty good. I am tempted to give it a try.

Ah...duh...you’re right - thanks for the that. Can’t wait to give this thing some wrist time!

ZF should consider making the white dial

Does anyone have an idea, if it’s possible to get this beauty on rubber straps?

I’ve read something about a conversion kit / other plots but since this ZF version is so new, I’m not sure they exits? Or are other rep plots also working? Or any other idea how to get it in a rubber strap?

I think it would great on white

appreciate your help

Completely correct. They definitely took it apart to fix it, if it is the same watch.
The community needs to be aware, that the name "bezel screws" is a misnomer. These are decorative screw heads mounted on bolts which connect all the way to the caseback.
There are variations in the construction, but all of them are decorative/faux screw heads designed to enhance the masculinity of the watch visually.

Saw them already, looking good and I would be so crazy to buy it But since they are targeting gen APs - do I need a conversion kit? Or are RubberB compatible with reps, especially this rep?

// EDIT: Oh and I see, RubberB doesnt have white strap for the 41mm models... not sure, if I like the black rubber on blue dial. argh, white rubber on blue dial would be such a perfect match for summer!

Yes Rubber Bs are great but unfortunately the straps have a Velcro fastener,,no clasp or tang available for the 5400,

Have you tried eBay? I saw a white one complete with conversion links and clasp for $38.99 to fit an AP 15400.

Check out this vid --> https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDQ1MDIzMjg2MA==.html?spm=a2h0k.11417342.soresults.dposter

The caliper measured 9.95 mm thickness. This is a strong NWBIG candidate.

Any ideas if/when the white and grey dials are coming out?

Thanks for sharing the video. This looks really really good, much better than JF IMO

Oh nice! Thanks for the tip! Might have just ordered myself one

It’s a shame such a nice rep is marred by such crappy bezel screws. Even in the new video, most of the notches on the screws are way off-center, and some are crooked. On the wrist, it’s a pretty small tell. But if people complained about date fonts and .1mm thickness in the past, I would think the screws would be more irritating.

Good job overall, ZF, but buy your screw manufacturer some glasses. This would be the first thing I would try to mitigate in QC pics.

Blue dial looks not that bad maybe i buy one and compare it to my JF V2.

Question for the gen owners, how loud is the 22K gold rotor in the gen watch?

I understand the Miyota is noisy, would like to know how noisy is the "benchmark".
