These are 21/18 straps like the 3777? Whats the length for deployment? 125/55?

^ I don't know on what mission you are, but the white of the numbers is certainly not "way too thick". And I can't see any concentric circles on the sub-dials of the gen-video. Maybe if you take a microscope. The only real tell would be the sub-dial spacing...but even this is only noticeable with the gen next to it. No doubt the ZF is the most accurate rep of the three versions , right now. However, maybe someone likes the other versions more.

Yes you're right (and JFTR, I already admittet that), the white color apparently is absolutely correct with the ZF.

Very nice. The date wheels appears to sit a little high. Is it the same on all the dates?

^ Farkk looks quite nice. Damn might pull the trigger soon.

So ZF subdial at 12 is wrong in terms of it counts wrong?

Any video of the chrono working and how the Sec@12 moves? The vid on puretime doesnt show it.

So the subdial @12 moves two increments per minute then?

Not that it is a big deal but the gen does not 'click' forward minutes like a 7750 it is a smooth progression

Angus wrote that zf movement is historic breakthrough. What does he mean by that? Is this really a sec@6movement you can trust ? I'm sure it's been mentioned before but can't find where so please point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Subdial concentric circles

I have just visited a couple minutes ago The IWC boutique.
I can clearly say that There are very very tiny but almost unnoticable concentric circles on subdials like a Just brushed effects...
and the second hand is clearly White

Thanks for input. We simpy can not justify that ZF's spitfire dial is equipped with plain subdials or it's actually gen a like because the pictures are mostly low res.
But as have seen on the vid, it's barely noticeable feature
