Dial improvements always welcome but thickness is key, hopefully with their track record ZF will work this out.
In light of recent events ChazingTime will probably not be rolling this ZF offering out... a stark reminder that this business is not conducted in luxurious Swiss Chalets and meticulous clean rooms, but using extemporaneously sourced parts from random mills doing side business to supplement legitimate industries, and then hastily assembled in makeshift areas trying their best to make the most of what they have, then sourced to dealers who have to occupy the same clandestine commercial space to strike the right balance of engaging in volume business while keeping a low profile and paying sufficient guanxi to stay out of trouble. Sometimes it doesn’t work out.
This hobby sits at a fascinating juncture, between appreciating haute horologie and it’s sublime aesthetics and masterful engineering, bold trademark and intellectual property theft, and probably some serious money laundering and human exploitation.
But I digress!
