Intime's website doesn't mentioned anything about a clone movement as far as I can see.


"Movement Updated Decoration. Base Movement: Japanese MIYOTA 9015 24J automatic movement at 28800vph (Same stability as Swiss ETA movements) the best looking AP Calibre 4302 Movement"

Dial texture is too matte again, lacking any sunburst whatsoever just like ZF's 15400 and 15500. ZF just can't get the damn dial right, ever, with no improvement on new version releases.

The MPF release, case/bracelet flaws aside, has a much better metallic dial finishing with more accurate color as well. The ZF blues are always way too bright and oversaturated. The new green looks awful to me as well. Saturation cranked up way too high.

MPF dial looks better.

Do you know why the factories don't make cnc case ?

doesn't it use the same movement as the 15500 ZF V3 with the new super clone movement?

Here's the same comparisons for the green and grey dials. Color saturation is again too high on the green and the hue is too yellow. Grey lacks sunburst like the other colors. Have not seen actual pics of the MPF black or white to make a comparison, but the ZF white is way matte just like the ZF 15500. Black dials seems least affected by this, so black ZF 15510 is likely most accurate ZF to gen just like the 15400/15500.

So for those unaware, there are subtle case differences from the 15400 to 15500 to 15510 other than the 15400 being thinner. The 15500 loses the gap between the bezel and the case line above and blow, and actually has a 1mm smaller lug-lug than the 15400. The 15510 sees a stronger beveling of the case and bracelet edges over the 15500.

The issue with the MPF is it uses a 15400 case. The bezel screws also look a bit too big, and the center link beveling on the clasp is especially off. It is, however, $200 less than the ZF with considerably better dials. MPF also makes the 15500 with same dial finishes and the same 15400 case.

From the intime pics, the ZF 15510 seems to re-use their 15500 case. I do not see a notable change in beveling on the case that would differentiate it as a 15510. But all in all, still a much better finished and more accurate case than the MPF.

I have an MPF grey coming in which I'll dial/movement swap with my ZF 15500 V2. Should be an easy swap as they both use the decorated Miyota instead of the clone from the ZF 15500 V3. The ZF 15510 seems not to use the clone either, which is fine IMO. Accurate dial and case are more important. The Miyota is tried and true and bulletproof.

Another notable difference between the 15500 and 15510 is the thinner bracelet. Not surprisingly it appears ZF reused their 15400/15500 bracelet, but the updated bracelet would be a nice touch.

I would buy it just for the dial if ZF makes better bracelet and case :)

The hand base seems much better than the ZF 15202. Do you think they will make a good version of the 15202 hands in the next years ?

Wrong watch model. This thread is a 15500 comparison.
