IWC 3878 Spitfire From ZF factory

^ The dimensions for the strap above are incorrect arent they? For deployments shouldn't one side be like 45 or 55mm only?

Nice looking ofloff strap but looks like it was made for a tang buckle but still works for the deployant too at a push.

Yes of course all dates are slightly high

the date wheel already off alignment, tell your dealer and have it shipped back for exchange.

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'.

yes i heard ppl said that before but no...

Strap was made according to my order. I want the buckle to be in the middle.

Correct, they are incorrect.

Indeed, the Orloff straps I've seen so far looked too rough imo, but this one looks very decent.

The correct lengths for deployant are 135/55mm, those are the original IWC strap measurements:

Guys mind if I ask any of you to share ideally vertical shot of your watch, because I've refused second one and I'd like to know whether i'm not beyond anal.
This one refused because of 12'o clock slanted mark, 29 on data wheel where 9 has significant flaw. not a big fan of 6'oclock mark as well.

Next QC after CNY
:cry2::cry2::cry2::cry2:

Here my front pictures . I did have an issue on datewheel. Please check QC and actual received. I will ship back the watch to TD

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Weird! Didn't another member have this issue too already?

 

[fabbe79]

It was me I think

 

[shewie]

I would accept your QC pics as well looks good to me, damn something is wrong with this data wheel alignment, on QC looks good and then we have stories such as this.

 

[Variatio Delectat]

And, if I am not mistaken, this only happens with the ZF models. :sad:

 

[merowinger]

[MENTION=89989]shewie[/MENTION] maybe your 12 o'clock marker is slanted, however the rest looks fine. I can't see a problem with your 29. Here is mine for comparison :

I think it's how the dwo is printed. The tens are left centered, the rest is centered for me.

Should be an easy fix for the factory. Hope they fix it soon as it would drive me crazy.

Waay beyond anal. Just relax and enjoy the watch man. I remind you that these are reps, afterall....

Guys, I think we are overreacting here. The datewheel is fine. Yes maybe 11-19 is slightly to the left but in real life and especially on the wrist they look absolutely fine. These are beautiful reps and for the price well worth it. I was going to drop $11k on a gen 3878. I'm so glad I didnt now when I think back - $11k is serious coin no matter who you are.

Could not agree more. Even the gens are not that perfect as some seem to expect.

When the hell will ZF release the gold version?

Edit: Here it is finally :thumbup:
