What about this version, it seems a bit closer to gen specs regarding the thickness.
Also I do not know the factory.

The price is much lower than the ZF factory.

Best way to check is to order it. So I placed the order

Good man! Write a few words about the watch, if you can find the time.

Sure, I count on the owners of the other models to compare.
Probably here in 2 weeks

And today it landed

I will come back later with more pics and comments, but can already tell that qualitywise I'm satisfied, except (as often) for the strap.

Also the moonphase cannot be quickset, so I need to check after a while if it's date based (31 days) or a real moonphase (29,5 days)

The date can be quickset with the recessed pusher, no other settings on the crown (except the time of course). It has a ghost position which would have been welcome for the date or moon.

Looks great. When you replace the strap will you keep the clasp and transfer over or buy a gem?

 

[Pix]

Not sure yet if I'll keep it, I prefer those with push buttons and this clasp feels a bit light. I'll first see if I can buy a JLC tang buckle of quality.

I never buy gen clasps or buckles, usually the rep ones are more than good enough, and some are just excellent.

Thanks for this it will be good to see comparison with the other factories

what is the price of the non Zf factory model?
thank you

Have a look at the link in the op : 338 USD + shipping (- possible discounts)

[Edit] Sorry, misunderstood the question. The ZF is more expensve, it sells for 428 USD (+ shipping)

On the ZF you can quickset the Moonphase AND the date.

Thanks pix, I have one on the way too. Can I confirm if the lug to lug is 22, so I can have a new strap ready?

 

[Pix]

Sorry for my late reply these days, I still owe you all pictures.
The lug size is 20.
I believed there is only one type of movement , i.e. the moonphase cannot be quickset, so I'm a bit surprised of the confirmation regarding the moon quickset confirmation.

BF


ZF

Having a closer look, it seems they are different, so the TD's description is wrong.
That would explain a lot about the price.

 

[CeterisParibus]

No, the lug to lug is 21, same as gen

 

[CeterisParibus]

And the moon can be quickset with this tool included by pressing this "button"

 

[Pix]

Are you talking about the BF version or ZF ?
My BF has no moon quickset.
The recessed pusher sets the date and has no other effect, whatever the position of the crown is.

The moon is a real moonphase, it works indeed on 29,5 days.

Measurements :
- height without crystal : 9.9 mm
- height measured at the center of the crystal : 10.6
- diameter (measured from 10 to 4) : 38,8 mm
- lugsize : 20,5 mm

Top crystal sapphire, the bottom is mineral

Pictures to follow

 

[CeterisParibus]

You can quickset the moon on the ZF.

To avoid any misunderstanding : this topic is about the BF.

So one big difference so far is the movement : looks different (see above pictures) unlike the dealer's description.

ZF : moon quickset with recessed pusher (so I suppose the date quickset is at the crown)
BF : no moon quickset, the recessed pusher quicksets the date. The crown has no other function than setting the time. It has a ghost position.
