hi guys, can anyone reccomend where i can find a replacement 3714 chrono reset button/pusher?

Are they an easy DIY or will i need to return to a watchsmith to install?



thank you

What does the "multiple account" mean in your Avatar?

FYI guys, the ZF version doesn't have an actual screw on bezel. the screws in the back are merely decoration! It IS still a press on bezel.

The SWF version is definitely held on by the screws?

As a sidenote, I noticed there's a ZF v2 out now. Listed on intime, I think is where I saw it.


Yes, the gold color seems improved (less yellow) but hands look less 3D.

Wow! Great info! It seems a bit crazy that ZF would throw money and time into something that is hidden by the caseback. [MENTION=120799]Kornsoup[/MENTION], were you able to completely remove the bezel? Any pics of the dissected watch?

That's really weird for ZF. Anyway SWF has real screws. I can confirm cause i removed the movement and swapped the dial.

I spent at least 15 mins trying to unscrew of what i thought were stripped screws. Then i took a risk and jam a knife in between the bezel and the case, the bezel popped out instantly. It was almost too easy and it didn't damage anything. I'll try to post some pics soon.

That SWF looks great, [MENTION=52616]iceman767[/MENTION]. Your picture alone may have convinced me to go SWF instead of ZF. I can't tell if that is a nice strong AR coating on the crystal or just the reflection of a blue sky. Would you mind posting another picture of a different angle that shows off this AR coating?

The truth of it all these factory Portuguese now have great AR same as genuine.
However, the Portuguese in the pic here is actually a full gen unfortunately

Thanks for the extra pictures [MENTION=52616]iceman767[/MENTION]! You've got to be kidding me. That totally looks like a gen. Are those really pictures of a stock SWF factory? The strap for sure isn't the same.

It is a GEN.
Bought it this week from an IWC Boutique for £4600.
