ZF 15400 - First pictures

[C.gjinika]

Hi Ap fans, I am looking forward to purchase the zf 15400 grey , but when looking ate the pics ate puretime and some other TD what caught my attention was that when the case back of watch was removed a gap in the mother case of the watch was displayed, exactly a gap near the crown ,a small thin rectangular shaped gap, and the caseback seems to not have any water resistance isolator for that, so it looks very easy for water to get throw this gap. So my question is if there is anyone who actually measured the water resistance on this watch or if there is anyone who had any experience in water situations. Its not that i am going to dive with this watch but it would be nice to know that it has some water resistance just in case.

Thanks to you all mates since after reading the most of your informations i decided to choose this watch.
Very helpful THANKS THANKS THANKS...

Any news regarding a v2 from ZF

Any news regarding a v2 from ZF

Why does anyone need a V2?

I don’t know about a V2, but I’d love for them to make the 15400 in Rose Gold.

Hey all ,

Hoping someone can help me a bit.

I’m a bit colorblind and I’m having trouble finding which dials are closest to gen.

I’m deciding between white, blue, and black.

Thank you.

I don't understand why it is important for anyone to have a dial color "close to gen" as this is a rep, and even if the dial color is spot on, it will never be gen.
Just buy a color you like and enjoy the watch.

First of all, Hi Al!

I get your point, but some people like to have a rep that is closest to gen as they can. As they won't be able to get the gen... it's not necessarily a colour they prefer, just the fact that it's the closest. That is their priority, goes above a colour preference, that is their preference.

So although I certainly agree with your point that you should pick what colour you personally enjoy. Sometimes, this question is valid. For example, I love the hulk. But the rep dials are crap, the gen dial is too expensive. Therefore, I avoid the hulk rep. The LN dials are far superior and thus I go with them. That doesn't detract from the green rep dial quality, but to me I wouldn't want an easy instant tell.

The reality is with AP though unless you're in a very affluent area, it's unlikely you're going to come into contact with someone with the gen AP and to be in such close proximity (particularly now lol) that you can directly compare shade colours!

Anyway that said... these AP dials look fantastic... just ordered myself a 15500 (blue) and can't wait to see your comparison, (grey gen - zf). Cheers!

Man, after a bit scrolling through this Thread... This watch is just stunning. But really nothing for me and my 6.1 Inch whrist. The smaller 15202 has no second hand, what bothers me too much.

I don’t know about anyone but I do feel that a watch w/o second hand is kinda dead ... I just wana see something moving on a dial lol

Try dislodging a dial marker and you will see something moving on the dial each time you move your wrist. :hehehe:

I think you made the right decision Johnny,,,,
,My gens are between 36mm and 40mm except my Tudor BBG (Harrods ),,,
so I took a gamble with the 15400 and I have a flat 7in wrist but I feel the dial is too big ,,,,
it looks fine with no over hanging lugs but I may Purchase the 39mm in the future and probably let the JF V5 15400 go,,,,,
,it’s bracelet and clasp are superb imho,,,,a real audible snap when you close the clasp but just feels a tad large for my personal taste,,,,,,
best of luck with your future incoming

AP 15450 at 36mm can be an option worth considering.

The 15450 is 37mm, although like the 41mm, it wears larger. JF version is too thick, if only ZF made a decent version of the 15450. I like the 15202, but I also need a seconds hand in my life.

Hi Gent, would you consider the the 15400 from ZF as a super clone ?
If you had to choose in between a 15500 and 15400, which one is the the closest to super clone ?

I would consider, reading the thread. And not expecting to be spoon-fed. Crazy idea I know.

But considering the world is in lockdown, you have endless time to make your own decision on this matter. Go read. This thread is short, 79 is short, and the 15500 one is like 30 pages. Go read.

Sorry I'm new.
Thanks for your answer.
So you recommend to read all the page? Or do you use a tool to know which pages are relevant?
