IWC 3878 Spitfire From ZF factory

[trombone]

Domenico has found a new solution, just one ore two months ago. Just ask him.

 

[retrospex]

have you used domenico for this service?

 

[pretender]

yeah i have - top notch work.

 

[higginsd]

The new BP version has also the same movement.

No. The new BP will have a movement based on the new PR-movement of the 5001 rep.

Are you talking about an upcoming version? There was a new release 2 weeks ago: http://www.intime.co/iwc/2337-pilot-spitfire-3878-chrono-bp-gray-dial-ss-on-black-leather-a7750.html

BP=Big pilot

 

[higginsd]

That's not a BP, a BigPilot, sorry. Ah, my friend rhc22 was a tick quicker.

BP is also the name of the factory who made this 3878, 2 weeks ago. Classic misunderstanding.

Haha..yeah, now it makes sense.

Its not about the movement service by Domi TBH. Its excellent that he can provide this service BUT.....

If we pay $300-$400 for a watch we would expect it to function like a watch would we not? And it should function reliably and for a extended period of time.

Would you buy a car that drove only for 500kms and then break?

Let's hope we don't get an AP factory making IWC reps then or that will really get confusing.

does the datewheel look centered to you guys ?

 

[merowinger]

If you check all pictures. ..it's not that bad!

 

[rhc22]

Looks a touch high or low in the images I have seen. As long as the wheel is printed evenly I expect it can be adjusted slightly if required

Thanks!
Looking at intime and puretime I think it looks pretty good. The problem with capturing the colour of the Ardoise dial is it reflects the light so if you have a filament light it will reflect slightly yellowish. When you watch the puretime video you can see it looks grey. I must admit when I get anal in studying the images the dial colour is not something that I saw anything wrong with.

I think the one on puretime (V2) is not from ZF. At the moment, I think only Ryan is offering the ZF. There is a difference of the movement too, if you compare the pics. But I dont know any details. Anyway, I think both dials look great. I have ordered one from Ryan and I will post the pics here, but it will take some weeks.

Yep..that's the V2 from V6F with the uncentered datewheel. ZF version is only shown on ryan's site at the moment.

Anyone asked him about the mouvement?
It is still a 7750, on my point of view it remains a timebomb as i don't think factories have the knowledge to make improvements on movement like Domi.
