ZF Officially Announces 15450

[Mark1937]

In low light it does. Looks almost black at night. Of course it's not the same as gen, it's 1% of the price so I enjoy it for what it is

Please more pics on natural light;-)))

Outside of the Friday screw QC, I must say the QC's looking good for these. While I love the 15500 rep I have, the 15450 does appeal to me (smaller size and similar dial to that of the 15400 with the automatic).

Got some low light photos for you. This is fair representative of how the watch will look in indoor settings that are low light.

Can you confirm if there are "swirls" in the tapisseries themselves? On the gen, these exist between the tapisseries but not on the raised surfaces. On the rep the swirls seem to be present on the raised tapisseries themselves. I know this is hardly visible in real life, but I just want to know if what I am seeing is true. Thank you.

I looked at some pictures of the gen and saw that there are two different patterns on the dial. swirls on the raised parts and a diamond pattern on the lower parts. I have attached a picture below. I had to use a loupe to look at my dial, but it does appear they have replicated the two different patterns on the dial! Obviously it's different from gen, the swirls in the gen are subtle on the Tapisserie and you can't see them on some photos. They stand out more on the rep, but still impressive attention to detail by ZF.

Thank you for the elucidation.

Please can you show us under natural light? Under the sun/sky?
Thank you very much

Just got a message from Steve. He stated he can get extra links for 15 bucks each, but he said it might take a while for the factory to produce. I'll go ahead and order one extra link as the watch is just slightly tight.

I’m curious, how much is the shipping charge on just one link haha

$30 yikes! Still cheaper than any of the ones I could find online.

 

[Victorparis92]

What’s better repped : 15500 or 15450 ?

Order another watch to mutualize costs

Gen (15400 blue in ZF, 15450 Black in IPF), ZF, APSF:

APSF:

ZF:

Gen in IPF:

Conclusion:
ZF is the better dial by far. The squares in the APSF dial are too small and spaced too far apart. ZF isn't perfect but has better pattern on the dial.

 

[Mark1937]

a GEN/ZF 15450 comparison would be great

I want to note that the ZF bracelet is smaller than the others from IPF and APSF, so if larger than ~6.7" you'll need an extra 1-2 links. The links from other vendors like IPF and APSF are not compatible either, the middle links are spaced differently.

Interesting. I'm curious which is gen spec (if any).

What is your wrist in cm? I have about 17,5cm wrist and ordered the ZF. So i Need a extra link? That would be very annoying

 

[PPVLG]

OK, I measured myself again, wrist is 17cm

 

[PlastikMan]

I’ve ordered the blue. Seems to good of a rep to pass.
