Both colors are very well made, better than clean. I think they hit a home run!

New releases from ZF -daytonas with SH4130
- Thread starter puretime
- Start date
I hear you but I would buy this watch just for all the parts and swap in a DD
No, its not.
Sorry but you are wrong. I have an APSF daytona for almost 3 months now, which has the same SH4130 like ZF. Johnny Depp took a look at it and said it's not bad, the finishing is not as clean as the DD one but who cares about that since its a closed caseback watch. It still runs great, i used the chrono a few times and had no problems at all. I daily the watch and bump it here and there, no problems. Same can be said about my BTF, but had a Clean and a Noob before that just stopped working out of nowhere. Its a decent movement, shame about the deco lever on the balance bridge that makes it harder to regulate than the DD version (which i still love, dont get me wrong).
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the rotor noise is also not bad, same as my BTF.

I would love to share more photos of the stock APSF watch and close ups of the SH movement but unfortunately its all in my old phone which currently i can't access since its broken. If i ever get arround to changing the battery and turning it on again i will share all i have about this version. Really its not that bad, my chinese Non TD said its the Shanghai factory that makes the VR, as in the beginning i also thought this SH is the same SH that ARF used on the 36 DJ. Not sure if this info is true, maybe a TD like Ctime can tell us more about this. Anyway in my case its working fine for now, will report if any problems come up in the future!
Good looking on the info.
VR is called that because of first popping up in VRF watches, Like VS because of VSF.
SH is not the same movement as a VR. You can read up on all of that in the tech section, I think @dogwood made the post
The pusher base is to long. (Same issue CF had on the v1) Pushers needs to screw all the way down to the case, and almost touch. That gap is not correct. Crown Guards are also off, they are better out the box on the CF. Dial looks pretty good, but need to see IRL. I don't see this being a better base than what we already have available
I recently added a section to my Comprehensive Guide post all about naming conventions of clone movements.

Change Log: August 25th 2022 - Initial version published on r/RepTime March 9th 2023 - Updated version published on RWI. Updated to include information about the new SH3285 found in C+ Factory GMTs and DD3285 found in Clean Factory GMTs. March 14th 2023 - Update to include a link to Steve's...

The TLDR version is that naming conventions are a mess. The prefix letters sometimes come from the watch factory that first used (or exclusively uses) the eg VSF and the VS3235 or VRF and the VR3235. But sometimes the letters come from the movement factory name eg DD4130 which is made by the Dandong movement factory. Confusingly, there are two movement factories in Shanghai (the “new” Shanghai movement factory, and the “old” or “original” Shanghai movement factory), so the SH-prefix isn’t very useful despite it being widely employed. AFAIK the SH4130 and the SH3285 are both from the “new” Shanghai movement factory which is the same factory that makes the VR3135 and VR3235.
Bruh you’ve been here for 10 years and you’re asking this about a watch that hasn’t been released yet, for which we only have low def photos? Come on.
On another note, I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about a release!
