"New" 382 ZFac V2 posted by Angus [[ QC pics ALLOWED]]

One thing I do remember is I bought a Kevlar strap like this one for my 187. Strap was soooooo long it was impossible to wear. I am hoping this one won't be quite as long.

Why aren't they fixing the crown guard? That's a simple one!

I think ZFac has nothing changed leaving aside movement decoration (maybe they are also improved a bit the polishing of the upper external edge of the bezel)

I think makers are reluctant to make chanfered corners of crown guard because it is a manual and relatively expensive job and because the chanfered makes more evident the gap between the CG and the holes for the CG on the case. They should reduce the holes on the case for the CG

ALE

Yeah. Movement and better bezel construction and lume application (apparently). Well, I'm not so buzzed on the changes and tired of waiting for the ultimate bronzo so I picked up a great deal on a lightly used ZF V1, with a movement that's been fine since first release, last night on RWG. I'll wait 12 months and see what's available then for upgrading (if it's worth doing). Glad to finally have one. Once again proving… Buy the best available and flip it if it's worth upgrading later instead of waiting and not having it on your wrist. But, admittedly, following the changes is half the fun too.

so how's the v2 now?

How did you get qc photos a week ago when Angus just received stock yesterday?

Angus told me that this Kevlar strap is shorter than the previous version he sold. Great news.

Got mine and can say the Kevlar makes the watch love it ZF upgrades and movement worth it my only issue the lever is not as tight as the previous one

You always need to check the screws in my experience on all rep Pam's and just tighten them and you will be golden!! Enjoy! I want that strap now!!!

Is there still significant bezel play?

Much better this time around similar to 389

Has anyone checked the cg of the v2 to see if it's solid.. The v1 has a plated cg and I suspect the v2 may be as well...

Luthier, is that you?

The only plated parts I am aware of are the REG. T.M. inscriptions (only the letters), that's for v1 and v2 afaik.
