Hi all. This will just be a mini review from a noob. Mainly because despite several efforts I haven’t managed to take a good set of photos yet. I just received this Black Bay from sead at supermirrors, and I am so pleased with it. I thought if anyone would like to know how good the latest BB is from ZF, this might help. Firstly, I’m no expert, but with exception of the SEL gap (which I am 100% fine with by the way as I’ve seen lots of gen watches with similar gaps), it looks pretty much perfect to me. The dial printing might look a bit flat compared to gen, but I looked very hard at a gen one before I got mine, and I honestly can’t tell the difference. Everything on this is 100% perfectly aligned. Movement is keeping excellent time. Strap adjustment was easy and screws came out nicely. There’s a little uneven distribution in the hand stack, but you would need to look closely with a loupe to see it. Lume was still visible at 5am when I woke to catch a plane today. Bracelet is fantastic quality. Smooth out of the box, clasp clicks into place securely. Crown engraving might look off centre on these photos, but it isn’t. Quality of engraving everywhere is excellent.
