ZF Officially Announces 15450

[Mark1937]

None of the dials is going to be perfect. I'm not going to go with a color I don't like just because it's "closer to gen."

I understand, but you are buying a clone watch with Audemars Piguet written on it, specifically reference 15450.

No you have to mod for instant date change

How to do this mate?
I know by miyota this is not possible.

Text printing looks so cheap, sending me back 4 years ago

Mmm yup. And it doesn't really look dark blue as gen but still better dial than APSF (even though a blind child could have beaten their attempt...)

 

[Mark1937]

White dial it's better...

 

[bombina]

Pointless, skip.

For your reference for the color tone of the blue gen dial. Mixed lighting condition (neon + natural):

Another world. The blue zf dial is off :-(

That blue is so mesmerising! If I were you, I would upgrade the hands to ZF or APSF!

Looks stunning.

I don't think color can be accurately determined from pictures unless all lighting is the same. I was looking more at the size of the squares and pattern.

The Ap royal oak dials unfortunately(or not, depending how you see it), can not be replicated correctly
In the end the best is just to choose wich one you prefer personally more(apsf-zf , blue-black)

I agree with both of you, you’ve both nailed the fact accurately.
Though I’m resentful that @j21 said it before I did

That is gorgeous but next time please also give the latitude and longtitude coordinates so that I can get there and compare the rep dial under the same conditions.

I have now ordered the ZF 15450 with a white dial from @puretime . If you are interested, I will share the QC pictures with you.

Only 15400 jf v2j was close of this gen dial
If only factory could be able to replicate this blue porn color

Another proof, that the only blue rep dial closer to gen in terms of color, sunburst and overall sophistication is DP.

DP looks wet.....hahahahaha...and has long 12 o'clock markers. It seems faker to me than the ZF
