Hi guys,

Can anyone please help me identify this big boy.

Found this guy brand new in a box from a business trip to China a couple of years ago. Use to have a contact would hook me us with solid pieces before I was a member here.

Not really my style, hence why it was forgotten. Lol

I’m trying to work out what model it is to find it a new home.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks!

First question would be if that is a true functional power reserve indicator ?

This is another one that I have, all dials seem to be working on this one at least. It looks exactly like the top gun model besides the colour of the date wheel?

What do you think?

Both watch look pretty bad imho.
The white date wheel on the Bp is horrible.
For the Top gun chrono, I don't even know where to start, pretty much everything is wrong : case material ( should be ceramic ) sub dials placement, date, fonts...
Neither of those watches are Zf, that's for sure.

Must be low rep or fantasy style watches. Picked up overseas so was expecting as such ???? I guess determining factory is pointless. If they are that far off I would just leave them as they are or give away. Cheers.

Doesn't look "that" bad but still quite off, hands too thin, 6 and 12 markers cuted, dial texture wrong...
Still, more wearable than the two others that scream fake from a mile away.

Sorry friend, but those are all $50 cheapie reps.

The $350+ versions from ZF and V6F are gen-like in function and appearance.
