Any comments concerning the new z factory 359?

[ALE7575]

Kind of you to say mate... but as I say its just my HO mate nothing more..

I am fortunate to have some gen lume... and varnish which I intended to use on the 372 but now I have the dial I was thinking of using it on the 359...though i am still undecided which to get...and if Zf do improve anything then maybe the lume I have can go on something else...

In a perfect world (as in where I have the money!! ) I would like to get both and do a hybrid..

LOL

I forgot to say that KW PAM 359 is very nice but LUME is really weak

thanks pete&ale for your opinions..

main reason i'm asking is i held out too long on the KW359&they seem to be hard to source currently thus i was wondering how e ZF held against e KW.. as e 359 is one which i have always loved.. got e v1 when it first came out&sold it, regretably.. &am hoping to get it back..

&i have been so into APs recently i completely didnt knw there was a new factory until about a couple wks back..

I have the KW312/KW359 and ZF359. Its almost identical. The movement you wont be able to tell with your eyes regarding the painted or real jewels. They look the same. Also the Lume and CG on ZF version is much better. CG on ZF is real tight and has a very very very nice click. KW CG sucks balls in terms of gen like feel and operation.

This is first hand experience having all watches in my hand. Dont get me wrong both KW and ZF make very nice watches as shown with the new PAM389/312/351/359. Just choose one and you wont regret I can guarantee that.
