Print on the movement is wrong, the letters are so thick. ZF better...

KW prints are a bit thicker as Zfac are, but ZFac have also completely WRONG fonts. No needed a comparison pic you can see it by yourself
KW prints are not perfect but much better than ZFac

Yes, back side is more sharp and closer to gen....Anyway i do agree that front side KW looks nicer

I repeat, ZFac movement cannot be closer to gen since engravings of bridges have clearly WRONG fonts, and balance cock decoration of KW (although no like the gen) is a bit more similar to gen.
The rest is very similar because in last watches ZFac has already introduced "real" jewels in P.9000 decoration.

First, it's a beautiful watch. :)

It all looks very green on my phone, both pearl and indices/hands. It could be my screen or the pics though.

Gen for reference:

And why is the crown so close to the case? Shouldn't there be a "spacer"?

Lume color could be lighting and won't really know till see in person. I've seen it slightly green on the net pics too. But is the lume glow color correct?

How's this pearl..since it's what's taken so long to get right. Also, yea looks like its missing a little spacer between the case and crown, but it maybe all the kw's that are like that.

The spacer on the crown is I believe what they are referring to ...

@C88,

It's horrible!!!! Accept it and send it to me. :)

I think it looks fantastic, lines up just right and the green shouldn't be a concern. The patina overpowers everything else, looks like it the wait was worth it.

There's a few different dealers that offer them. Available stock may differ for each dealer, some said very limited first batch.

As for those waiting for QC, just be patient.. if your confirmed pre-order, should be soon now.

I think it really looks great, the Dial markers are fantastic, The pearl thing I don't understand all the fuss but whatever it looks like a green glow in the dark thing. The watch is a beauty. I will have one in a couple months.

cant wait to dip it in the Pacific ocean
