Mhh..maybe it's just the closeup shots, but the datefont in BigG's QC pics looks thinner.


It appears to be YLF based on date font and properly aligned 1. Only way to tell (I think) is to look at markings on the clasp. Per TD pics these are quite different. This is a bit of a chaotic roll out. Too many versions of the same "new" model are confusing things.

I see what you guys mean, but could it just be the fact that BigG's QC pics don't have a 2 in the date?. I found this a few pages back

ZF before thinning of the date

To me it appears that my date font is basically identical to the thinned date on the updated ZF, do you guys agree?.

I think I'll be waiting for the grey dial at this point before I pull the trigger. Besides the CAD is horrible .. I'd get sewered on the exchange.

As much as ZF is hyped to be the better watch, I like the YLF one better. The numerals are slightly bigger which gives a better balance to the dial. I think ZF made the hour markers too short and stubby and it just looks weird IMO.

ZF seems to have misaligned date on all pics I saw since they changed for that thinner font

Should I wait for ZF to update to V2 with blue/white dial, or should I just order the YLF v2?
