Iwc 3714 zf

[Bolduc Zogmar]

I dare to disagree. 12 vs 14mm makes it a difference of more than 10%, which is visible at first sight and ruins the proportions, and even more important, you can feel it when wearing the watch (same thing btw with the AP ROO watches). My choice would therefore definitely be the SWF.

The gen is 12.3mm.

The SWF is 14.22mm according to QBalance156.
The ZF is 14.8mm according to the RepGeek thread.

So it looks like there is a difference between the 2 factories, but they are both much thicker. Is 2mm acceptable or not is a personal matter, but I agree with Variato, you definitely feel it when you wear it.

I would be interested by keenycoder opinion, since he said that the SWF was only less than 1 mm thicker.

2mm? This is a huge difference which makes the rep a no-go. :sad:

My choice would therefore definitely be the SWF.

You're confusing me.

^ LOL

You're confusing me.

I love it when a plan comes together.

 

[montblancrep]

youve got me questioning too, i will measure my swf version this evening.

 

[Bolduc Zogmar]

Let us know the result!

BTW I measured my 3714 quartz (I know, I know...) and it's about 14,2mm thick, like the SWF measured by QBalance156.
I don't understand why they couldn't make is thinner since a quartz movement does not take so much room...

How did the measuring go? Still waiting for the result

 

[Bolduc Zogmar]

Still waiting... :whistling:

Which TD's sell the swf version? I have looked at several TD sites and I have only seen the ZF 371446 (white dial, blue markers)
Thanks

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Each of the TDs sells it, just ask for it.

 

[WatchestoPlay]

Thanks for the tip. I wasn't sure if it wasn't shown on the TD's site then I wasn't available.

 

[Variatio Delectat]

You're welcome. Good luck!

Hi

I'm seriously considering getting one of these watches and if I were buying gen I would definitely go for the white face with gold markers. From many of the photos (and even video on Puretime) the gold colour doesn't seem quite right though so I'm considering the other colours too. Can anyone that has seen both gen and rep confirm how close the gold colours are in "real life"? Would either ZF/SWF help in this regard?

Also, given the thickness difference is anyone aware of any newer versions of this watch in the pipeline?

Thanks!

 

[Variatio Delectat]

No issues with the gold markers, I had the V2 and now own the V3, they are both just perfect, no worries.

Looking at most watches with the 7750 movement, I don't think they will ever reach the correct thickness unless they distill a model with a faux chronograph movement.

Thanks guys. I've re-read the entire thread tonight and I think I'm going to go for white with gold on black strap - SWF version.

Off to email Sead :thumbup:

Ei guys, the zf 3714 have alawys the problem of moviment ad @6?

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Get it with a dark brown strap, works way better with the gold markers.

Hi guys,

Had my QC pics from Sead and have a concern with the digits that I would appreciate other opinions on. Do you think the "11" (first digit in particular) is level?

Thanks

Craig

Looks ok. No rep is perfect.
