If you go on PureTime or wherever you can get a zoomed image you can see how the font sema ti be similar but it isn’t...now I can’t upload the photo but if you compare the Gen with ZF you can clearly see...

I also can’t believe that the words on the clasp aren’t clean like a PF or similar...

I hope that are only flaws of the prototype or that somebody can tell those flaws to the factory to resolve

If you find such differences unacceptable, it will be difficult to enjoy this hobby. I’ve learned to enjoy reps as nice watches in their own right rather than identical reproductions.

No off course they are not.

Do you know how this business works?

Then why are they doing a lot of detailed work on the movement but miss the more obvious things?
rep manufacturers have gotten some acceptable gold colors on certain IWC models.

You cant say anything about the color of the rotor now. The TD pictures are taken in a completly different light.

This is a good perspective. I've bought some microbrands in the past at a similar price level and every single rep I've had blows them out of the water.

Additional high quality pics

https://puretime.io/news/PP-ZF-Aquanaut-5167A/

to me it looks pretty good except for
1) DW position (pretty sure this will not be fixed by 25 Sep)
2) hour markets are still too green imho...

otherwise great looking watch...

I actually remember going to a local grey dealer to buy a gen several months ago... it was the day I discovered that PP trades at premium to retail lol

The high quality pics really show the dial well. IMO ZF did a really good job. Maybe a relume will make dial markers less green and I can live with the DW, at least the font is right

I don’t think this is a worthwhile upgrade from the v6f. Even though the thinness of the zf would be nice, I’m still holding out for the 324 clone.

If, however, you don’t already have an aquanaut, this zf seems like the best option. That yellow lume is so annoying though

It’s a great looking rep but personally I couldn’t live with the DWO, just personal preference but it would just spoil the watch for me.

Let’s wait for the final product, but if it comes like this you can always mod it like any other watch.
It is a huge improvement in everything else!
can’t wait to receive mine...
