Yes I am happy, my first AP. I have to adjust the bracelet. looks different than Rolex.
Any how to do some where ? I try to search and even google, but not much on AP.
I just don't want to do something stupid. I just need to remove a link.

Both sides of each bracelet link should have a screw, one of these screws comes out whereas the other side is a screw/pin that needs to be pushed out.

I'm just wondering if anyone has both the JF V5J and the ZF in hand to do a side by side comparison with photos? That would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if its worth getting a ZF for JF owners.

I have both the JF blue dial and ZF blue dial and had also owned a gen 15500 blue before. The ZF blue dial is a lot closer to the gen blue dial. The ZF’s bracelet feels a lot more smooth like a gen bracelet than the JF too.

Could you share side by side photos of the JF and ZF? Thanks in advance!

If it can help...
I complete disassembled the case for greasing all seals and give it a good waterproof.
Without crystal it's possible to appriciate the color of this zf blue dial.
Fyi it's under a white led light.

Just for info:
It has been a pain in the ass to waterproof it because it has 2 seal on the top(one of them must stay in perfect position) and one on the caseback.
The caseback screws match directly with the bezel screws without the well known other middle screws that i found in the roo diver, chrono, 44....
I don't know if it's the same on the gen one.

I don't have this pic mate.
I reassembled all, tryed under water and fitted on my wirst so i can't do that.
I have only the pics of all seals off

In my opinion the rotor could be better but my complain about all jf models were the thikness instead the color of the rotor(not important for me).
This zf has the gen thikness much more visible at first glance than a hidden gold half moon.
My two cents

What thickness is your zf case? I just got my qc pics showing the case was 10.47. I thought zf was closer to 10 even.

legend I plan to pick up a gray ZF 15500 if you want to do the comparison since I've seen you post wrist shots of your gen gray 15500. That way members can get a good idea of the differences. Is your offer for rotor silencing still on the table?

I do live in the US so do you think there will be a customs issue?
