New YLF Portuguese Same thickness 3714

[Tschacko]

Wow, not bad. So the gen dial goes into the YL, Z case same thickness without problems?

Is it a gen strap, too ? Where did you get it ?

Magnificent, Higg! So remind me, is that the YLF case? I eventually want to do the same project someday. What's genuine there-- dial and handset?

Oops, never mind... I neglected to look just above and see where you wrote ZF v3 :blush:

 

[higginsd]

Gen is dial and handset. I decided to give the rep movement a chance. If it fails I'll swap to gen movement.

The strap is Jacob Ramirez Portuguese Vintage Italiano. Fantastic work!

Cool, so the YLF case should basically also fit as it should be the same not ?

The thing that bugs me on my YLF black dial is the rehaut. Rest is ok ????

 

[higginsd]

I cannot say anything about the YLF. The rehaut of the ZF is perfect. But I think the case is the same, coming from the same source.

 

[Patsanchik]

What part of the 3714 is the rehaut? Are you guys referring to the tachy ring? Or is it the part that holds the crystal and comes off when the screws passing thru from the back of the case are removed? I thought that was the bezel. Thanks

 

[Tschacko]

Yeah, let’s agree on the bezel. Where you find the hash marks for the minutes. So the YLF have a quite incorrect printing.

The rotor on it is not crisp and the colour is off imho. Anyone done any comparison of it with gen?

The rotor is not crsip and the color is off? You mean the automatic movement rotor? It's inside the case and nobody can see it?!? So what...

 

[JumpiterT]

I think I got confused with another iwc model my bad. You're right it's closed back. There is no problem.

Does the function at 12 work? I’m seriously considering it now.

Yes, the chrono is working correct.

guys, does anyone know anything about a possible update? so in summary if you wanted to take ylf what changes should be made? change the scale of the speedometer, is the blue of the hands correct or not? there is some way to further lower the clock, it still seems a bit high to me from the photos but it could only be an effect.

 

[jayeshrc]

I think the blue is super hard to get spot on, and every rep cant be 100%. You also have ZF as an option if you want the 3714, I have one and the blue isnt exact but its good enough and everything else is the same in my eyes.

Btw, this thread is two years old haha

Reviving the thread since I couldn't figure out the answer myself...

I am looking at the one with a white dial with blue markers. Looks like the YL has more accurate subdials, but has some downfalls?

For this specific version, who makes a more accurate watch? This has got to be the hardest watch to choose from...
