Iwc 3714 zf

Yes, and it's a comparison with the rep dial (which is far off).

Wonky "4" ........ Again! How hard is it to get it straight!?

what exactly do you mean by that?

 

[Snipster22]

what exactly do you mean by that?

It is picky I know but.... look at the horizontal section of the number 4 and line it up with the marker for the 15 seconds in the "seconds at 6" chronograph. You will see it isn't quite straight (slants downwards from right to left).


ZF had the same problem with the 5001, particularly on the blue and white version. This was the main thing which let it down visually in my opinion.

No, it's not picky at all...the only problem is, that it will be case by case anyway, some pieces will be ok, some won't so we will have to wait for qc pics anyway:-(

Agreed - anyone who bites the bullet please let us know!

Could go SWF instead.

So many options. I'm partial the black dial as well. Case construction as per gen is important to me at least, specially if I venture in a franken later on.

Agreed - was considering this. The screw down back seems a plus as well.

Stuttering seconds hand though? Although I am guessing this is going to be the case on the ZF as well?

 

[Snipster22]

Can anyone tell me the difference between these two versions? Which one (if either) is the SWF?

I am assuming that there are indeed 3 versions at the moment, these two and the recently released ZF? Please correct me if I am wrong....

Those two look identical! Usually, I am able to distinguish between the latest 3 factories based on differences in bezel shape, screw on bezel, caseback font style, dial subdial depth, AR coating, and crown size. The two links you provided seem like the same watch. However, Puretime does seem to carry the white dial with gold numerals from all 3 factories - SWF, JJF, ZF.

Its a nightmare in relation to the white and blue. Can anyone shed any light?

Cheers

I'm hazarding a guess here, the one released in 1st December is ZF version. You can tell by the bezel screws are not as deep when comparing with the watch in released in29th Oct. But you should just email Puretime.

Cheers. Agreed on the screws point.

Have done - still waiting for a response

Is the blue portuguese worth getting from ZF or SWF? I'm really torn between the 3714 with blue markers and the XVI

My answer: Yes. But I'm biased because 3714 is my grail watch

The only thing i'm worried about is the dial and the reliability of the movement. The XVI is flawess in terms of a rep. Do you have a 3714 by any chance?
