Right guys, comparison between YL (Left) and ZF (Right). Gen is little bit yellowish.

The photo isn't working, can you re upload it please.

Light was not good so sorry for the bad picture.
Mine arrived today and I fitted the Gen dial. Dial feet are in a different position but otherwise it fits perfectly.
The rep dial is very good and the difference is minimal but the Gen just does look nicer. I would say it doesn't need it but it is an improvement.
The case is superb with nice sharpe edges like a Gen. The movement looks very good and well made. It is certainly nothing like the 3714 movement. Ok it is different to the gen but it looks quality. AR is good and the right hue but perhaps not quite as anti reflective but that is nitpicking. Gen dial or not this is one very nice offering and ZF (prob YL also) have done a great job.

Great review. I guess you cut off the dial feet and used dial dots?

[MENTION=41715]rhc22[/MENTION] - Maybe side by side comparison of ZF and gen dial?

 

[shewie]

Ok so after a while I'd like to hear ur opinion about Power Reserve. any shortcommings? drawbacks? how reliable is the movement so far?
This watch is a pure jewel, I see ZF is pushing forward with new releases, highly anticipated PAM605 with SC movement is out and now this IWC.

Yes, I quick fix!

@rhc22 - Maybe side by side comparison of ZF and gen dial?

Yes will try when I get some good light but the main differences are (and they are very minor)

Gen dial printing is crisper
sub dial rings are slightly more prominant on the rep
Colour is virtually spot on
Gold colour looks spot on
Numerals not quite as good on the rep but really close
That's about it really and the above comments are really minor

^ Great news. I'll be ordering a white dial/gold markers as soon as china holidays are over.

Thank you rhc22 for the first ZF-review of a highly esteemed member! I think we all now can buy the ZF version with a clean conscience!

I hope members who have received the watch can share the following:

How is the movement and the accuracy?
Power reserve?
Does it require service?

Too soon to ask about reliability I guess

 

[ssouthall6]

Does it require service - yes, it's a rep

Yeah its a safe bet with these movements. One is better off getting a service before the movement craps out on you.

 

[kim.lee]

any news on the white and blue numerals?

This is like getting the the seams of your cheap jeans re-sewn after you bought them, before they might unravel ...

I for one will enjoy the watch as long as I can, wear it and love it ... when it breaks, time for a service.

White dial blue marker from ZF will be after China holiday.

 

[rhc22]

Still not great images but at least real world pictures.
I wound it to full before I went to bed and 6 hours later it had dropped about half a division.
