This is hands down one of the most informative threads on RWI. Thanks to everyone here I’m moving from PAM to AP & the 15500 will be my first. Thanks again!

I believe [mention]legend [/mention] is referring to this :)
Excuse my highjacking with the JF 15400 Franken with the gen white dial mod from [mention]legend [/mention]

Hello W!
I generally do not include pics in my quotes but your watch has a very beautiful matte white dial and it is one of the most beautiful 15400s I’ve seen, gen, rep or franken.
It embodies the spirit of the Royal Oak perfectly IMHO.

Biggest replica market in the world. But of course you also have black sheep’s over there so you will have to find your TD at the market (fake ZF factory, fake noob factory, etc..)
I guess it speaks for the progress made over time by major rep manufacturers, if they have their own "replicateurs", if I may use this term.

Well that's not how it works. It's more of "passing off" as noob/arf/whatever buzz word factory is hot.

They don't replicate, the replicas... they pass off their goods as "x".

Trivia post:
For those of you with the ZF silver dial, I just want to share a minor detail about the series with you. The AP sales rep I spoke with told me that the silver dial 15500s started with the UR series and not K or L. I am not sure if this is replicated correctly by ZF. The grey, black and blue colors started with the K series engraving.

Good to know A!! Per TD pics, it shows ZF starts with K.

I have been trying really really hard to resist the temptation of ordering the silver dial, I finally have a legitimate reason :D

Anyone who can translate from German?
(I’m just guessing he’s speaking German though...maybe Dutch?)

As far as I know there's always a clone of that content in English, done by his girlfriend/wife/whatever. Not that you've missed out on anything...

Ahhh! I’ve seen his wife’s stuff. I didn’t realize this was her husband. I guess her video should drop in a few days.

allllright
back to page 1

this thread is about the ZF15500, and I believe its the only factory (outside of gen of course) to produce it so far, and also, the factory has also released only 1 version of this.
So a question like the one you asked was totally redundant, don't you think?
