ZF Audemars Piguet 15202

[KSwatches]

I like the dial (tapp). Doesn’t look like pimples. Audemars print is not shaky. Apparently the pinion is too large compared to gen but I don’t know.

Only logical reason is the dial has a big center hole that its covering up.

Sure, but why that big hole?

nice dial, shame about huge pinion, and the bezel screws seem bigger than XF

I have been waiting to add this to my collection. Had a JF 15400 white dial which isn't consider super rep but actually get the most compliments over my other reps. Am very keen to see how the ZF frisbee hand base can be modded and will likely pull the trigger on one!

legend would love to here your comments once you get hold of one vs the XF

 

[midnight_pasty]

wonder if the xf hands could be put on the zf?at least then they will match the lume on the indices

Hopefully ZF fixes the oversized hand base issue before introducing their other 15202 models.

looks like shit, i'm sorry.

Color of the steel is way too warm
Sloppy finish
Lines on the pentagon are soft - gen lines are way more aggressive

Canon pinion, LMAO. Way too big.

Date not centered well

Tired of seeing all these "announcements" of a new version whilst it's still junk

Aren't you being a bit too hard you think? It's still like the second best replica of this model in the world, or for some even the best depending on what flaws you don't want.

It should work since they're both based on the Miyota 9015 movement. Problems are, will XF sell their hands, and if the XF hand base is large enough to cover the center hole of the ZF dial.

I think we should reserve strong judgments until we get hands on with the watch. We know that pics don’t always do the watch justice. I have ordered mine and just awaiting qc pics from puretime. With regards to the bezel. See 2 pics below (first one is gen listed on WatchBox and second one is the ZF courtesy of Intime pics) I believe the watch bezel is similar on both.

Imma quote myself from the XF thread...

A lot of you guys just need to chill... I and a few others have already ordered it. Once we receive them... we'll do photo comparisons to the XF. Just chill, it's early days. All is fine.

 

[Mark1937]

Blue color on ZF seems to be too much darker. XF V2 is much near to gen

 

[jm_brc_7057]

I agree with Sonofalich people really need to take a chill pill and wait till we see what this watch is all about. In the meanwhile you lot can enjoy (or hate on) the QC (i've approved them already). The watch is on it's way to legend to get this frisbee hour hand base modded and probably also other mods, such as bracelet and case polishing.

Once it's all done i plan on reviewing the watch.

Sure, but why that big hole?

Thats the only reason I can see why they'd make that minute hand center so giant. Its just a waste of metal. Its not like it helps keep better time or make the hands stronger. LOL

 

[GingerBubba]

But the large hands base has been an issue on so, so many APs for years now. Gentle has made approximately seventeen gazillion dollars just on shaving mods. I don't understand why various makers always have the bases too large (though this one use particularly ridiculous and, sadly, is the only thing I see when I look at an otherwise decent watch).

To the manufactures/watchsmiths/modders out there, is there a reason why they make the hand bases ridiculously big?

 

[tangokilo]

The modders and factories have a secret agreement...the factories agree to make reps at 98% gen-like and the modders give back 2% of the money they make off mods to the factories. It's a viscous circle 恶性循环

Ah... busted. Wish this was done in a PM instead of openly :hehehe:

What game is this..."Build the perfect Rep?". Yeesh...it's an evolutionary paradigm. Better is better and this has a lot of appeal.

If you were expecting a pentagon then I understand you're disappointed
