382 Bronzo- only 9 hours reserve

[plankton]

I have read that some people are only seeing a 9 hour or so reserve on the new ZF 382. Anyone experience that? I am.

my zf has 4hours
lol
its farked
had a loose screw floating around inside it a few weeks after i got it
=(

Too bad to hear that. Is there any chance we will see Bronzo with any other movement than 7750? Too scared to get either of ZF or KW by what I've read by now.

Have no fear. Bad movements happen but it's not the rule. My z factory v2 works beautifully and what a watch it is!

My KW runs fine, but I agree with Shelby's concern, too many bad movements in these decorated 7750s lately imho.

When discussing the beauty of it. the reliability issue is seldom focussed. I´ve read about a forum modder who repaired 22, than they were fine. That´s quite a lot.

Exactly K. I'm avoiding these decorated movements as much as I can because of these problems that I keep reading about. Only PAM with this movement that is a must for me is the Bronzo but putting ST2555 in it would minimize problems and lower the price for $60-70.

Fingers crossed for something better.

Vac can do a fix on it for me, which isnt a big deal $$, but sending a brand new watch out is.

Make sure your rotor is engaged, and functioning correctly, the extension fitted to the rotor shaft due to the dress plate is flakey at best.

I jinxed my Bronzo. Crown became disengaged from the movement. Will send to Vac for a full movement service. Ugg.

is it worth doing a swiss 7750 swap? who's a reliable modder who can install them even with rep hands?

Lol... Bronzo can't make it from night to the next morning...

 

[Thrasher]

I just noticed in the last couple Days my KW from July is not lasting overnight and it loses like 6 minutes in 4 hours in the watch box. This kinda sucks because it seemed to be doing so well.

 

[Sultan Brunei]

Anybody else with this same problem ?

 

[mmarturo]

I just bought the ZF v2, I will let you know how well it does as soon as i get it!

 

[Thrasher]

I opened the case last night. Nothing fell out and the few screws I checked were tight. Maybe tonight I will try and speed it up and see what happens
