IWC 3878 Spitfire From V6 factory

[Variatio Delectat]

There's a new player in the game, and since it is the V6 factory expectations are high of course: http://puretime01.com/pilot-chrono-...est-edition-on-brown-leather-strap-a7750.html

However, can anyone already confirm if the subdials do have the concentric circles? They are supposed to be very subtle, but nevertheless should be there (like e.g. ZF did it).

subdial spacing is wrong just like the zf version (too close to center)

Well, I have to admit, I didn't know that... I've heard something before... but yes, you are right.
Gen on the bottom.

Well yes, this is a known flaw and caused by the movement, of course. No difference regarding that between any of the makers though.

I compared zf and v6 on puretime, take a close look at the markers (numerals). V6 are rectangular on the inside, zf ones are round on the inside, as per gen

Ok, I ordered a V6F in addition to my ZF, so I will be able to provide a comparison when the watch arrives. One obvious difference is the movement decoration, but since it has a closed caseback that's nothing I care about anyway.

Well, nothing to worry about IMO.

Look at the tail of the 5 and the bottom of 4. Its rectangular on the inside. Should be round. All numbers are like that on the v6f. Also the silver outline is not as sharp. Its fat and inconsistent...

Here's one my QC photos from V6, I tried to replicate what you put up since they're better quality than what PT has on their website.

Doesn't look square to me ...

 

[Variatio Delectat]

The pics on the TD's websites usually are of low quality anyway, so I am looking forward to seeing real pics of your watch when it arrives.

 

[markiemark]

Hmmm indeed! Maybe a QC issue...
