IWC 3878 Spitfire From ZF factory

[Outtime]

Having it for about 3 weeks now the movement runs well. Smooth seconds, no stuttering at all, great pr and running on time pretty well actually.
Maybe not representative but so far definitely so good.

Made using telekinetic powers

thanks so fahr

Yes and yes. Just a loose cover ontop of the movement. Real easy to remove, and indeed discard it.

I just did this and it worked like a charm! will test PR tonight

Welcome to the club!

A bit date misaligned but tolerable.. while I cannot complaint on the bracelet, resized in few minutes and well finished!

 

[Variatio Delectat]

+1, the bracelet is one of the best you can get!

Has anyone received their watch with perfect date alignment? Seems like the majority are an issue.

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Mine indeed is what I'd call perfectly aligned.

Where did you purchase yours from? Thanks. Really after one of these.

Rule nr 1
Before u accept QC pictures, ask TD for 3 different vertical pictures of the date window to determine the date wheel alingment from range 1-9 10-19 20-30.
amen.

To add to this, the best one I used was 31-1-2.
Mine is more than acceptable, not perfect.

Mine was aligned in QC but arrived misaligned

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Did you try to switch the date and look if that might solve it?

 

[fabbe79]

Yes of course all dates are slightly high

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Strange. Very strange!

 

[fabbe79]

I don't want to accuse anyone but could be possible that QC was taken with date engaged in changing?
I am 100% sure the watch is the same

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Rather unlikely, but I have not the slightest idea how that could have happened.

ZF can sure make a good rep but can't seem to be able to get the date wheels correct, the 5001 is dodgy also. Should be such a simple thing to get right especially considering how good the rest of their watches are.

Conspiracy Theorists might say it's a way of keeping something back to release another version and make more money.

Or to take the conspiracy theory a step (or several steps) further, suppose that the genuine brands are secretly behind the replica industry because they recognized an enormous opportunity to generate additional revenues flowing from the popularity of their brand names & trademarks. Always leaving flaws ensures that the reps can be distinguished from the gens. Think about it. Just sayin'.
