ZF Audemars Piguet 15202

[Nono92]

yes i do think so .....
but overall this is somehow nitpicking, like we mentioned before there are beautiful rep dials and no one will never grab your wrist in the street because he saw your watch has too much sunburst and the dial doesn't look legit ....

I don't worry about that
Actually, I study the cost/benefit ratio !

I am now waiting for a quote concerning the hands mod... I don't know if they modify the minute hand too. I think the replacement of the hour handstack is sufficient.

No modification of the minute hand is required. When I do this mod it's only the hour hand.

Is it possible to buy these thinner hands and make the replacement by a local watchsmith ?

You would need to purchase the hands separate, then send to a modder. Usually it's easier just to send the watch to a modder and get it back all finished up.

OK ! Thank you.

You can also get the minute hand beveled to improve the shape and form of the handstack. It is not easy to do it of course, but it is satisfying when successfully executed.

My most favorite thread since I owned a ZF 15202 2 months back. And looking forward for a better version with reduced hand stack and a more gen like dial.

I was lucky to have a chance trying on a genuine Display Only 15202 in our AP Boutique while picking up a gen 33mm quartz for the Mrs. here’s the Imgur link for video I took admiring the gen dial color and sunburst the ZF is unfortunately lacking: https://imgur.com/a/PQOM5Qw

Fun fact is unfortunately the Display only pieces all have regular rotors and not the 50th Anniversary rotor.. I wonder why

Hope this helps some members that are wondering about the gen dial color.

Cheers guys

The 15202 looks absolutely incredible. I think AP has created the best looking bracelet ever, the way it catches the light is amazing. I'd like to see one in the metal one day, but for now videos like yours will do! Thanks for sharing and congrats to the wifey!

May be because what you tried is a 15202 and the 50th anniversary rotors are exclusively made for 16202 and only for MY2022....

Yes it might have been a 15202 most likely. But recently in our Dubai boutique more and more pieces are being displayed and the sales rep was referring to all pieces not having the rotor on them, I really wanted to check it out haha.

FYI

A great comparison YT video for gen, XF and ZF:

 

[aHero]

I thought XF wasn’t available anymore?

 

[Nono92]

ZF looks better than XF with a microscope. Today, I have seen the tapisserie of a Tissot PRX. At first sight, it's not so bad. It would be interesting to see it in the sun and compare to ZF...

This is a really great thread, thank you to all those who posted their opinions and pictures for us newbies to observe.

Still up in the air, if either one came up for sale I would have no problem owning!

I find on Instagram. Am I allowed to post?
DP custom hands for 15202.

 

[Amaiel]

I'm not an expert, but they look good to me. Both hands and dial if compared to ZF. No idea if compared with the gens.

I agree that the hands and dial needs to be compared to the ones from ZF's, side by side.

 

[Mark1937]

Sono d'accordo sul fatto che le lancette e il quadrante debbano essere confrontati con quelli di ZF, fianco a fianco.

ZF dial is 1000x better!
