Is GF and ZF ultra thin moon the same factory?

Seriously? I pinged Puretime and they said ZF is the better choice.

I have not seen any threads on GF

The comparison is buried in one of the ZF threads.

The GF moonphase is closer to the gen, but the pinion on the date hand was wrong. They appear to have updated it in the v2

Movement is the same,
GF has better date font and moon, and also better rose gold colour of the rotor. And don't forget that ZFs had issues with misaligned markers and waterproofing.

If they updated the pinion GF is absolutely the one to buy atm.

edit: don't forget that on the black dial one, the AR coating is a different shade of blue, the GF seems to be closer to gen even though is not 100% accurate.

Ok, I was holding out for the ZF because of that 1:1 comparison, but I told Lucy that GF works too. Seems ZF has some QC issues :(

Every time I have a choice between GF and ZF I choose GF. In general, I think GF sets a high standard when they make a watch. I am not an expert on JLC watches. During my three years being an RWI member I have purchased many Reps from both GF and ZF. When I order a ZF watch I have to be much more careful when reviewing the QC pics. ZF does make nice Reps but their QC is very sloppy on the dials and markers. My personal opinion is that the level of quality is a ZF business choice.

Does anyone know the lug and clasp measurements for a replacement strap? looking to replace it asap. I'm going on the assumption that gen, zf and gf are thr same measurements

Sorry if this is in other threads already, I am looking and will up date my post if found first.
