IWC 3878 Spitfire From ZF factory

[peterpl]

Yes the ZF looks stunning. Now all we need is how they have improved the Sec@6. If i'm satisfied with the mods I'll try it out.

I am not an IWC Spitfire expert, but the on on Ryan`s website looks spot on Stunning
These are pics when I tried it on in an AD at the airport

very nice matey, I wondered what yuo get up to, in your free time.-:greedy:

I will pull the trigger if the movement is stable but geez that such a handsome watch. Afraid I couldn't wait lol

Domenico has found a new way to fix seconds at "6" movements, incase it dies!
I will buy for sure.
Datewheel looks not sunken and well centered, at least at the macro pictures on Intime's site.
All other things look good too.

Ardoise dial is always amazing. I probably will get one.:laugh:

• "SPITFIRE" is correctly spelled.
• The deployant clasp is the new style with thicker and bigger clasp.

ZF isn't making it very easy to decide my next purchase...

 

[merowinger]

Actually, they make it very easy. I just sent the order!

Here are some very good pictures form watchbus:

This release is a winner! Hopefully they improved the seconds at "6" movement.

If the movement is more reliable then I will be a buyer, otherwise not worth the risk.

eff the movement. im buying

the dial color doesnt seem to be accurate :/

 

[rhc22]

They are still using the 7750 as a base, you can see this from the sub dial spacing compared to the gen. Who knows if they have done anything to make it more reliable?

Dial colour and sunburst are spot on ! Check also other pics from the net !
It always depends on the lighting.

Will there be a rg version too?

What make you think mouvement has been improved? for me it is the same as it uses to be i.e a time bomb

 

[trombone]

Someone posted a picture of a new solution for movements with seconds at "6", which uses only two gears and this should drain less gain on the movement.
It's definately a different solution, because now the datewheel isn't sunken anymore.
But it doesn't matter, because if it dies, you can send it to Domenico.
He found a new method to fix this problem.

The new BP version has also the same movement. It's definitely a new modified A7750, hopefully with an "acceptable" failure rate.

 

[Azel]

Agree about the datewheel that looks good and not sunken.
But i'm suprised that no TD communicate on this "new" mouvement.
About Domi i asked him one month ago if he can do his mod on this watch and he answered that he doesn't know and need to see the mouvement first.
I'm seriously interested in this watch but i need some more guarantee about the reliability before pulling the trigger.

I read Domi no longer offers his jewel mod fix for the seconds at 6 time bomb for these 7750s reps because it also failed!
