what happened to zf, so many promising pieces but nothing delivery, like the AP diver 15703 15710, rm 052 mask, rm011, man i would buy all of those pieces from zf, but they have been really quiet for a couple months now

They've delivered a v1 AP 15400 and 15500 that are currently better than any other maker, and early pics of their 116610 seem promising. I know we always want more but I'd say it's not too bad ;)

You know how the rep business works - nothing is granted and you have to be patient.

If you look closely you can see that ZF is working on various different types of watches at once - at least the recent releases tell so.
The long wait and few sneek peaks could mean many different things besides just ghosting those projects.

The best releases are the ones least expected that come with outstanding development and progress for the game in general.

ZF has the capability and due to their large variety and diversification of manufacturing the (financial) strength to complete some of those „fairly simple“ projects like AP‘s for example.

When it comes to the RM game i think we have to give them their dough that they stepped up the game with decent build quality - even though the novelties remain flawed.
And it is understandable that an RM011 isn‘t produced in a heartbeat if you aim for the highest possible quality for the price they are asking for.

Long story short - some day we will see things. Maybe in 5 years or more lol

This + I don't think that demand for RM's is as high as for Rolexes and AP's, so the necessary investment may not be worth it

I have been asking myself this question over the last few days, but I don’t know the answer. Perhaps you guys can help me understand.

KVF recently released a RM11 V3 in stainless steel. Based on photos alone, it looks pretty good to me. I understand there are still several flaws such as case being too thick, non-working month display, and non-flyback chrono, etc, - all of these the factories would not be able to fix without cloning the actual movement - which is what we had been waiting here for the last few years.

The watch looks decent, although I must quantify that $620 is still a lot to pay for a rep, are there other things that I am missing that help explains why no one seems to be excited about this release? as I didn’t even see anyone talking about it.

I am thinking of pulling the trigger, but just want some inputs from you guys, thanks!

The big month display is working on this one but the annual calender in the down right isnt the watch is fine maybe a bit expensive. But if you buy one don't youse the Chrono and the date only if necessary because if something brakes wich it properly will you'd need to send the watch back to China

What are you talking about?! There's a date and month display. The latter being faux on the rep. Period.

OH nvm I am sorry I've thought you meant the date display isn't working your right of course that the month isn't working I don't know why I've called it big month display no idea what I was thinking there ^^"

I’ve been waiting on this for a while. Hopefully it’s still in the works.

All I wish for in 2021 is a decent RM rep

Is there any chance we can reach out to ZF to see if they still work on this ?
