ZF 15707 - New release

[JayBee0815]

ZF has just released the two ceramic models of the AP-Diver-Line. According to the Telegram-Chanel of a NonTD they come with the 3120 movement.
First impression is imo good. The white model seems to have a much better ceramic coating on the crowns than APS.

I need both with instant date change. Hesitant on the white as per usual reservations. Ceramic diver inbound shortly. Thanks for sharing supreme leader.

the hour hand geometry for the black 15707 is off. the lines in the center are a bit too thick. also, that silver pinion in the center is no bueno.

i think this dial in an APS 15707 would do well. the numbers on the tach don't have ghost lines on the ZF but do on the APS.

also, i've noticed on TD links when the date is on "28", both APS and ZF have different date wheels. the ZF appears to be a little shrunken horizontally.

Would chose the APSF over the ZF personally.

Nope. The ZF has quite good ceramic on the crowns ...



... while the white on the crowns on the APS is completely off ...

Do you own both? I have the APSF and thinking about ordering the ZF.

love a good taste in watches and art ;-)

I like the ZF more than APSF because of the dial print and ceramic. Even though we have to mention the too dark navy blue accents which appear to be almost black in dealer pics. There was once a Singapur limited edition with ceramic case but black crown and black print/numerals on a black strap. 30 pieces. Looks stunning - this new white ZF comes closer to it than the regular gen.

...of course your CDF is also rep - I hope it's a 1:1 Swiss made clone haha

Look nice, do anybody have black one can share?

that´s the point. If I had the APS the color on the crowns was a real dealbreaker for me. It looks like these Scandinavian liquorice sweets ;-) The White on the case of the ZF is perfect and the white on the crowns is good.

Only mid tier quality from China ;-) ... but at least hand painted

 

[JayBee0815]

I have noticed a strange problem with both, the black and the white. The screw, that fixes the straps is very tight. On both watches I wasn´t able to change the straps. I will try again on the weekend with a litte WD40 and an ultrasonic cleaner.

 

[bombina]

I have the APSF one, built extremely well, rock solid. Zero issues with strap changes, smooth functions.

Then this rep gem deserves an adequate frame mate just like the original one haha - a man of culture nonetheless

… and don’t forget his 250th birthday this year - so it is even more special.

However - the 15707 is beautiful in both versions and i could live with the darker print whilst the APSF got an almost light blue print… ZF wins this race for me. Would love a black strap on it.

Keep us updated how the strap change turns out! Good luck!

Does the APSF Version have instant date change?

APSF is the factory that creates the clone movements that ZF uses.

What is the weight of this watch vs the steel version?

 

[mgberns]

...definitely wears better than all the other ap divers I've had...

 

[MiamiPH]

On the new ZF ceramic diver superclones, I noticed the case back has an issue with spacing "ROY AL". I noticed this on PTime and Ctime pics. Does anyone have these watches with these issues?

[mgberns]

yea, i can tell you it's present. didn't even notice it. haha

 

[mgberns]

silver lining, at least it's titanium, the other versions have SS

 

[MiamiPH]

Thanks for confirming @mgberns ,
Hows the blue color markers and the weight of watch?

I saw in another thread that one of the AP ceramics was heavier than it should be. (Not sure if it was the ZF model though)
