I will place an order for the green one. But I will tell them to not use anchovies on my pizza.

No really. I will get the green dial and provide QC pictures approved.

Would you please ask your TD to measure the glass to glass thickness of your watch with a caliper?

So I just GL'd a QC and these don't have a screw down crown? Anyone have any issue getting your 15202 wet? At most I wash and rinse them off in the sink so I hope that wouldn't be an issue.

My ZF 15202 doesn't have a screw down crown and pulling the crown out needs my fingernail to be longer. 😂

A genuine 1X202 has not screwed down crown.... why should a rep have this ?

I'm not saying it should. But there's still a proper o-ring in there and stuff so we can get it wet (not immerse) right? I'm just concerned about water intrusion for the the fact that it's a rep AND has a screw-down crown. Never had any issues washing my 15400 or 15500 in the sink.

Why is that, is it because of the added archaic date change mechanism the Miyota 9015 has in the 15202 model? I hope the new ZF 16202 has a screw down crown since the 15202 date change mechanism has been omitted.

It would be a non sense to have a screw down crown as gen doesn't.

The construction of this watch is not really to be a dive or a tool. nevertheless if the watch is well assembled and control you shouldn't have problem to immerge it....

The 15202 genuine has a date set function that works when you pull the crown out, you wind the stem and when you pass 12 o'clock and the date moves forward, you then go backwards and pass 9 o'clock, then go forward past 12 o'clock and the date will change again. This function is also present on ZF and XF 15202.

Am I understanding that the ZF 16202 does not function like the 15202 for the date change I described above? Does the genuine 16202 have a quick set date function like 15400 or 15500? Little confused by some of the previous posts that reference date changing on the 16202 now.
