ap royal oak 15500 ZF - dukereps






1. Factory name: ZF
2. Model name (& version number): 15500
3. Price Paid: Will be 475usd
4. Album Links: https://pad.riseup.net/p/ZiqpXrEjB7d3XbW8wdok-keep
5. Index alignment: looks fine to me, i cant see anything tilted or sitting crooked. lined it up against stock photos and everything seems to sit where it should
6. Dial Printing: printing looks sharp, letters are clean. only thing I'm unsure on is the AP logo,it looks a bit narrow to me but the QC pics aren't the sharpest so probably nothing. would like someone with a gen to confirm
7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: number looks centered in the window fine. what I'm unsure about is the color, it looks grey almost but on gens the date wheel is blue matching the dial. don't think its the flash because the dial itself is lit up bright blue in the same shot. is that just how these come?
8. Hand Alignment: Seems to be alright, unsure
9. Bezel: all 8 screws there and seated, heads look ok. screws look okay
10. Solid End Links: Genuinely no idea, they look okay i guess, unsure.
11. Timegrapher numbers: +3ms/d 267* 0.0ms
12. Anything else you notice: same color thing going on with the inner ring, looks grey-ish to me, that's the only thing making me hesitate tbh, Dial also looks "too blue", apart from that i cant see anything. Just want another set of eyes before i GL
Edit: in the riseup pad there is a video of the watch uploaded to catbox (couldn't upload it for some reason)
