IW371446 - Which Factory?

[Mancster]

Hello all. I'm going to purchase a 371446 model but can't make my mind up which factory to go for, YLF or ZF.  From what I've read, the YLF looks more gen like as it doesn't have the shiny sub dials like the ZF version does. The YLF version I'm looking at comes with A7750 movement. Does this have any problems? Any issues with the seconds at 6 o'clock etc?

The ZF V3 comes with A79350 movement. Does this bring any improvements to the seconds at 6 o'clock? Also, do we know if the V3 version of the 371446 improved the shiny sub dials on the ZF? 

Thanks all!

Hi Mancaster,
I bought last Autumn the ZF version because the 2 YLF watches that my TD sent for QC had big issues (the dots weren't well made).
I don't know if YLF work is now better than before but I recommend you to be careful with QC.
My ZF suits me well and the shiny subdials doesn't bother me, but I didn't had both models (ZF and YLF) side by side in hands so I can't say which is better.
In any case they are both good looking and pretty accurate (you have the major flaws in the other posts).

I owned both and somewhere on the forum you can see side by side pics. The dots aren't so good on the YLF but for me the ZF shiny subdials were worse.

Ordered the YLF and after 3 qc reject i switched to ZF, happy with it.
Movement is the same, theoretically YLF is better for the subdials but had issues for QC dots so was hard to find a good one while ZF seems more qc stable

I'm tempted to go for the YLF. Another question, what's wrong with the straps that come with these? I read lots of posts about people changing them and that they are rubbish, what are the problems?

Its just that all 'alligator' rep straps are rubbish.

What makes them rubbish though? Looks? Feel?
