How is the movement on the latest ZF 15400 - is it quiet or noisy, does it sound silent or a little tinny when shaken and does manual winding feel buttery smooth or rough and noisy?
My first replica watch was a Noob LMPO and the movement is really silent and it winds quietly and smoothly like my gen Omega Seamaster. Yet my Cellini date MKF, although it looks amazing, sounds really tinny and cheap, and winding it sounds horrible, so I’m always considering this aspect with any rep I buy, which may very well be this particular model.
Hey guys i have a quick question. Did anyone see that there is no number- engraving in the back of the watch over the J*****,.the latest JF has one.
Yes indeed, gen sample used by zf didn't had it.
So its a big tell then right?

Just 2 points for you:
The H, I and most J series of 15400 has the number above the series.
Toward the end of the J series, this engraving was removed. So some J series 15400 and all K series do not have the second row of numbers.
Second, caseback engravings are never a "big tell". Why care about this when the movement itself is a much more significant tell? Also there are multiple flaws when the watch is viewed from the front. Saying engravings are a big tell is like saying that a blue apple doesn't look right because the shape is slightly off.
Ok buddy i got ya. But lets imagine blue apples are existing, would you chose the one with the worst shape.?
Based on my observation, I think the winding is pretty smooth. I wouldn't say the ZF is noisy...but it's not super quiet. I have a replica cartier diver caliber which I believe uses the 8205. That thing is LOUD, and the winding is definitely a bit rough.
If you shake the ZF, you can definitely hear the rotor spinning. I wouldn't say it's incredibly loud. There are people here depending on which region you're in to help you. Based on your username you're in the UK. I believe slaughterer62 can assist you if he has the time to help you with your mentioned rotor noise.
I found this vid on Youtube. I dont understand a word but nice to see the watches in motion and close up.
