Bazil1198 have you ever seen the little guilloche dial of the Breguet tradition in real life? It's a masterpiece, shiny and accurate, impossible to replicate it at low cost, due to noble material and difficult machining.
Also the diameter of the cannon pinion is bigger.
But for 500$ I think it's a great watch, if the movement is reliable.

No I've not had the privilege, I just found out about this watch after reviewing some brands that I had overlooked before and really liked the general aesthetic of their watches. This one in particular, it will be my first "high price" rep once I'm able to purchase it. Thanks for the explanation, I guess I should be grateful that I've not seen the gen :D because I think this one looks great.

looking forward for v2 for:
1. Resize of the 2 wheel bridge so it looks more like original
2. Resize of jumping second mechanism to ensure smoother second hand movement at caseback

We all waited for the V2 of the previous tradition, and it’s not common that ZF releases a V2. I think I will buy this one.

SF factory did produce v2 of 7057.
Since ZF has committed to produce v1 of 7097, it is expected ZF will improve further in next version, so that 7097 will continue to sell.

Ciao, have you seen the seconds jumping back and forth at about 5:15?
I don’t understand chinese, does anyone know what he said at that timeframe?
Price is 528$ on PT, OK, movement cannot be smooth like in gen, but I expected the second hand not being… micro-retrograde;)
Has anybody bought it? And check this is a real issue (and not a temporary issue of the prototypes)?

Thanks in advance!

Do you have video of the seconds hand moving? Smooth movement?

Just received. No stuttering, smooth second hand.
great wrist presence. Will try to take a video when it is daytime tomorrow.

on the other hand, managed to spoil 1 springbar by screwing it too hard (think there might be a threading issue).

Gonna ask my td if he can source additional springbars.

Please do, what color did you get buddy ? I really like the SS with silver dial, but the dial color look more white than silver.
