I know this isn’t the best comparison but I disagree that the dials are different. See here for swapping between CF V3 and ZF.

CF image number on the top right is 3350
ZF is 1685

Basically the shit crystal is clean lmao



You can see mate from this quality pics that crown and indexs are different. Also hands, and case. Another thing that can be noticed from this pics its about different CG’s, pushers, and the funnel reahut on clean (you can see the words on it from a font pictures) compared with straight one of ZF or BTF for example (like gen). This imho ruine the font of the watch.

I knew ZF getting sucks, they just get other factory parts and put they name to sale now.
Some people buy from ZF because they still thought ZF doing good reps, but since after IWC clone 7 days movement they never try to make any improvements..

Fully agree with you as the non pushers side of the case is TOO square, nothing like gen. Just like Cf or noob

Guys but how you compare a pictures with low quality or not real quality pics and call the white one “blue” where also the black dial looks different on those pictures and where on Trusty pic QC with HQ quality there is anything wrong on dials of both models?

The black one is one of the best on the market out of the factory right now, and not have at all “fatty” subdials.. Maybe people need one pair of glasses LOL
Do u remember guys the old first Noob or the first batch of clean? Maybe not, because those had real fatty subdials and for sure not these from ZF.

This is the first factory that make subdials with right dimension in their first realese.

About pusher and CG’s? Pusher are definitively better and have correct curved profile at the end compared to crappy/shiny/chrome/small tube of Clean. CG’s looks also ok, like on BFT or old Noob. Can’t say the same about CG’s of Clean…

The only bad, but need to have in hands, seems that still have the lateral profile a too straight like old Noob and Clean. The only make this profile like gen is BTF right now.
In RWI, even if you put some photos of a gen 116500 here and say it's a rep, they still think your watch is a PoS with the crown, dial, hands, pushers, crystal, lug, case shape, bracelet and the center pinion are all wrong. ;)

Got my QC pics for the ZF.
What do you guys think?
I'm on the fence now about the ZF vs CF...

Any constructive criticism accepted.

I think you are not allowed to post all your QC photos here...
Did not know that, my apologies if that's the case. Wanted an opinion if everything looks good and as a comparison to the topic above of CF vs ZF.

Compare is fine, I think most of us are interested in this topic, just do not post all your QC photos.

looks good tbh. but are you able to ask for a front pic with the top and bottom pushers screwed all the way in so we can see if the pushers are really too far off from the crown guard?
