gen is not made of steel. Hopefully they can make the movement better and better.

Tiny tiny bit thicker than gen. I dont think that will matter one bit. The date wheel looks centered. The lume looks slightly yellowish, but the photos at the top of the thread look good.

Man, it's looking tasty!

ZF is killing it!

Update

Upon closer review it looks like gen is 8.25mm and Intime is saying 8.8mm. So where is the extra .5? Looks like the actual case is slightly thicker and there is a small lip on the caseback that looks to be .2 or .3mm.

But you are going to have to be a complete ZF expert to tell.

ZF is taking all of my money this is crazy. I was perfectly happy with my KMF blue aquanaut until this showed up. The dial looks very good, but it's not quite as good as gen.

I find that having just shelled out money for the Calatrava, I am now doing it again for this one. i was less than pleased with the original ZF misaligned date. I am pleased that they got the size right on this as its *not* the same size as the black dial. 42 vs 40mm

Gen 5168g has a long line cross the 5. The only thing I wonder is the dealers in wechat are still saying 40mm*8.6mm blue 5167 which is incorrect. Can anyone confirm which information is correct?

Don't worry, the information that your dealers provide is incorrect, the 5168g (blue aquanaut) that i got is definitely larger than 5167 (grey/black aquanaut)

This is really nice. Now cant decide between this and the blue ap tourbillon. I have the 5167 jf, the 5177 pf white and the v4 black ap 15400.
