I have the ZF 5009 and love it. The only issue is the lume on the hands. The Minute Hand has a different green but not a deal breaker. The Hour hand is blue lume. They must have have a mixup. Someone wont like it because its not Gen but to me I like it (its a custom work lol). Again thats only lume. Everything else is great. I went with the older 5009 which doesnt have the 9 on the dial. But most ZF for BigPilot are considered great.

On the ZF the second hands is not accurate anymore. They messen that up in their v2. V1 is not sold anymore.

I would recommend the classic 5009 black dial. Timeless piece. From ZF.
Also have the blue one petite prince edit. which is for younger guys i guess :)

It's not accurate anymore: short side of seconds hand is way too short. ZF V1 was perfect, ZF V2 they messed it up.

From May 2021. I love it. Its big and sometimes the crown can dig in the wrist but I still love it. Also my version is the older because the new one has the number 9. But I liked the older better. Just personal preference. But ZF is the way to go. Got mine from Trusty Time.
