I don’t think they will make such a big mistake, when they have such a good attention to detail, look at the buckle (the shape is on par with gen) and the removable strap link.

It’s such a great dress watch, but I feel like this calatrava is pretty low profile haha

Great effort! ZF is doing good work towards a NWBIG status IMO. Beside the look and feel of a gen 324 SC hehe.

excited to see more like this right from ZF.

Since the dw alignment looks perfect on this one can we expect an updated version of the 5167 with good alignment too?

Since the watch is not big, I guess the weight BTW SS and WG would not much different?

I love it and I like others PP but when I read Miyota I look somewhere else as its too noisy everybody should understand its just a toy is it the only mechanism available for such a thin watch ?

Even the gen 324SC is „just“ unidirectional charging the powerreserve. So the consensus is that even the gen is kinda noisy.

A little drop of grease will silence the miyota 9015 rotor and the watch is good to go. You wont fool anyone witht the decoration compared to the gen so this should be the least problem for all open casebacks.

Thank you I've never had a pp in my hands I should try a watch with Miyota and do what you say and this could be a good start.
