ZF 16202

[tangokilo]

I received QC pictures today but I asked Andrew to check a couple of things that might be an issue. One was a possible scratch near the stem where you unscrew it. The other possible issue is the date number is high up in the window. I asked him for more pictures of these areas and if they are OK I will accept QC and post approved pictures. This is for the green dial by the way.

Hi everybody!

The watch arrived and I’m very satisfied with it, but there’s this kind of a big deal, the crown is very hard and stiff to set, I’ve already tried with some dental floss and some wd40 (mechanical lube) but nothing seems to work

I’ve already asked to the customer service of my TD, waiting for their response

In the meanwhile, does anybody have some ideas of a possibile fix to this? It’s that much stiff that I can’t really enjoy the watch

Thanks to everybody who’ll help me to sort out something!

These movements sometimes arrive very dirty inside. It is hard to say what is causing the stem to be stiff. (Unless we are talking of an attractive woman.)
I had one time received a watch and just put some watch grease gently around the crown and it slides in and out very easily now. Take to watch smith and he can pop open and clean or pop out stem and lubricate.

In looking back at this post there appear to be some double entendres. Lol

Andrew sent new QV pictures and I have approved them. Here is green dial.

The date in window looked low but in other pictures was fine so I approved. The scratch was just dirt. Waiting on another watch still from him so this won't ship until I approve the other one (VC 47040 gray dial).

I mean the date looked high not low. Can't seem to edit posts anymore?

これが私のwatch-vs QCビデオです。彼は後半の日付を通過します。

素晴らしいビデオをありがとう。良い時計ですが、ムーブメントの音が気になりました。解決策はありますか？

I can speak and read Chinese but not Japanese.

I am not capable of making this modification to a watch but how difficult would it be to give this 16202 a quickset date function?

There is many of us who would like to know as well. IMO, it is still a 15202 without the quickset date function.

時計のノイズに関してですが、これは修理可能です。宜しくお願い致します。

And for the English speakers, what I said was “it’s ok the issue (noise) can be fixed easily.

Just ordered 15202 rose from Geektime.. said it might up to 1 month wait from zf factory to source it.. prob still need to mod hands/plating but not sure who does plating in US

@legend
Can we modify this 16202 to have a quickset function as per the genuine?

Potentially yes. I’ve not tried it before though. Some parts may be needed to do so.

そして、英語を話す人には、「問題（ノイズ）は簡単に修正できるので大丈夫です。

伝説ありがとう。自分でやってみます。

Good to know it is possible perhaps to change it to quickset date function.

So got my blue dial in the other day. Thickness measured at 8.95mm. Thicker than I've seen ZF 15202's measured at. Maybe the new deco plate requires a thicker caseback?

FYI My ZF 15202 is 8.6 mm thick from glass to glass. AFAIK XF 15202 is thinner a bit.

Does buff make a set of after market hands for this model to fix the pizza base, or this raises a concern of seeing the centre hole on the dial?
