New release from ZF: Portuguese Tourbillon

[KilowattHour]

Oh... and forgot about the Strap. It's a custom handmade one from Jacobstraps:

That's a great looking combo. Expensive strap, but definitely worth it.

I gave 220 euro inclusive of DHL Express delivery within Europe. You can get it with normal delivery for around 200 euro. Expensive but worth it

This is a stunning watch, great replication, the tourbillon is worth every cent of the price!

I bought a gen Santoni/IWC strap for this watch.

The strap from Jacob is perfect, I have the same for my 3714 franken. Round about 200€, but a perfect work.

Can you post a picture of the Santoni strap? Would really like to see it. Totally agree, this is a really well finished piece. It's just feels like a expensive and high quality watch.

Just a black Santoni strap, nothing special. But I like gen straps.

Very nice, is ZF one or YLF?
thanks

To be honest: I don't know

I don't think it could be from YLF because their number 3 was usually not looking proper. The watch on higginsd's wrist has a good looking 3.

So, you think is ZF? I wonder what's different between YLF and ZF one, because from what I see the ZF version is not really made by ZF. Look like is other factory made, and somehow use ZF name to sell it.

 

[jm_brc_7057]

higginsd is it automatic or manual? The manual one is YLF. The ZF is automatic. Gen is manual.

 

[jm_brc_7057]

Patsanchik I can't agree with that mate. Mine is a YLF and the 3 is perfect.

 

[higginsd]

It's manual wind. Like the gen

Oh, well now I'm intrigued. Puretime's pics of the YLF show a weird 3, but you and higginsd got a proper 3 on yours! I'm now assuming, by the manual-wind movement, that higginsd's watch must be from YLF and that they've upgraded the dial numerals since the initial pieces we see in TD photos. Good stuff!

Patsanchik that's the one I bought in the link from puretime. The '3' is fine. You can check the pictures I uploaded earlier in this thread.

 

[Patsanchik]

Oh yeah. Holy shit! I want one. Thanks guys, for pointing this out to me.

 

[higginsd]

Buy. It's worth the price. A real tourbillon watch.

That's a truly lovely piece - a genuine strap and you're away. I'm normally a little wary of IWCs as I have quite slim wrists but that YLF looks very very good indeed... Hmm.

It's 43mm, which normally would be huge for me. But the lugs are short and very sharp pointed downwards. So it sits like a much smaller watch. I don't feel much difference from my 40mm Breguet which has straight longer lugs.
