Guys I just checked my watch again and the AP is NOT CROOKED and moreover what some of you don't know is that one of the main reasons for the Z-modded GP to be expensive is that the Case and other Forged Carbon Parts were created and developed way before either of the Chinese Factories were successful in making them which is why there were only 10 slots .... So please guys read the entire thread of the Z-modded FC GP and give the guy two thumps up for the effort and patience and time and money and dedication and perseverance put into this project single handedly without the tools and equipment of these factories to achieve the most ultimate Non-Franken Time Piece created across all forums... I once again thank Z for all the efforts put into this project by him and Salute him for his success!! Cheers guys )

No one is berating zorro's work. It's an awesome piece of art. The reason it became sort of a benchmark.
I think it must have been a camera angle ... the stamp looked a little bit off centre when I looked too.
Anyways, congrats to acquiring z-gp. It's just mind boggingly good looking mate! :-D

 

[dj_doshi]

Absolutely bud.. I love it.. It's just as good as Gen... Thanks again mate !!

Yes and no.
It comes with XS rubber strap, not leather

 

[quelfala]

Yes and no.
It comes with XS rubber strap, not leather

Then is it possible to get the GP leather strap in XS? From AD any strap makers here? Thanks!

You can contact Vic (SMP_lover) for the custom XS leather strap, the most common one is his alcantara with red linings. But don't expect the same design as the rep/oem strap. If not, you can always go oem in XS size.

How reliable are the 7750's these days?

The new A7750s are cleaner and have one extra jewel in the transfer, but the alignment of the gears in the transfer gear system is still not precise, both in distance and in height.
This leads to the gears sometimes no long meshing or wedging on top of one another and stopping the movement.
A SCL service will not correct those problems, only modification of the system.

Honestly folks, I have seen the Gen many many times and in my very honest opinion, Zorro's tachy gives more ompf and class even than the Gen tachy.
U just cant replicate Zorro's tachy, I honestly dont think the factory will come close even with a V2. Zorro does spend a tremendous amount of time, not to say funds on research and
development to get to here. His passion for perfection is commendable, I know because I speak to the guy...

Thanks for the info, very helpful!

I think I might steer clear from the chrono movements for now and go for an FC Diver for the time being

We could even make a song about 'dial' and 'tachy' .... It's been used so much in this 144 pages and counting long thread that it'll make a good chorus

LOL. A lot of gloating from pics taken from distance. First macro pics of the zGP reveals the dial looks like grannies fret work cherry pie.
I sure Zorro will stand by his product and free upgrade the 10 owners with a better dial

Don't forget about the movement. That should be an easy one.
