ZF 15400 - First pictures

[legend]

Both Datewheels looks the same to me .

Is it worth buying a Genuine datewheel when you compare it to the Rep datewheel?

The gen dw will work only with the gen 3120 caliber. You cannot even use it as an overlay because the date change directions are different.

Obviously they are missing. Fortunately this is not a great problem and your td should have screws for replacement.
This is not the same problem of missing pins on bracelet someone has got with ZF

Word.
I have a 15500 on the way and searched the DIY area for smoothing the bracelet. No luck. Can one of you AP fixing brothers give a quick idea of what tool, (dremel, fine sandpaper, elbow grease) one can use to make the bracelet less "Sharp"?

I used this...gentle swipes in one direction.

If only 3 of the dates are problematic, you cannot realign the dw without affecting the rest, so you will likely need a new DW. Makes sense?

I just tried to buy a ZF 15400 blue dial from Trusty and was informed the 15400 is no longer made. Only the 15500 now.

Hont has all colors except white. I prefer the white dial on the 15400 much more than the 15500. Oh well

The ZF 15400 is available with the clone 3120 movement. The Miyota 9015 movement is most probably no longer available with the ZF 15400.

Damn that miyota movement was lovely. What's your opinion on the clone movement? I hear the case is thicker because of it

The ZF 15400 is not bad at all, now waiting for the APSF!

The clone 3120 movement is new so there is no long term reviews on it as far as durability goes. The case for the ZF 15400 with the clone 3120 movement is actually thinner than the one with the Miyota movement. There are ongoing threads on the new ZF 15400 and the APS (another brand) 15400 with pictures of the movement and initial comments.

Hi, very beautiful piece. Do you have the problem the helicopter noise with rotor or is it a problem definitely solved by ZF? thanks in advance.

Some are loud and some not so much. Depends how much lube they used on the rotor for that particular watch. It’s a characteristic of Miyota movements (not ZF issue). Easy to fix by applying lube on the rotor. There are tutorials here.
