Yes, the stop watch mechanism isn't used and there needs to be no transfer gear plate. Mine is keeping very good time.

How about the lume?

and then press night view - green!
ZF with their wrong blue lume for 616 is just trying to be different....
Yeah I've seen that but you know OP (and other gen brands). They like to mix things up to trip up rep factories.
They can do that with some minor details. Lume color is a major thing and I can imagine that some customers can see it as an important factor when placing an order.
You have a point there. But blue lume does make sense with all of those blue accents, huh?
Yes, and there is a blue lume on other Sihh models like chronos but in case of 616 we have vintage lume.
I'm just waiting for my KW version, I felt relieved that they got the green lume right after reading this thread. Thanks guys! The bezel in the ZF looks awesome , wave pattern seems closer to gen. Hmm.....
Pattern on ZF's bezel looks better while the edge of it - seems much darker than the rest of case... one step forward, two steps back
The watch is amazing quality. Love the material. It's as heavy as SS - about 140 gs... The only thing I noticed is that a crown laver guard falls out 1-2 mm in and out... Is it normal? Seems like from what I read on paneristi that it's within the norm for gens... Here is what I mean - look at the position of lever on the pic below:
No, it is not normal. Correct it:
- open CG
- set crown to time setting mode
- TRY to turn the hex distance nut counterclocwise like half a turn. Just to make crown default position further from the case by a fraction of mm.
- set crown to standard position, close lever, check.
If you cannot find tools to do it, You will need to remove CG, remove crown and have much easier access to this nut.

ok so I need to take the CG off to get full access to the hex distance nut, correct? It's not like this all the time, but wobbles out once in a while... What tools besides screwdrivers would I need?
Thank you, friend!
Thank you, friend!
I used a female hex tip screwdriver to do it. You could also use a conical head to grab the inside of the hex nut.
Don't scratch it though, would be a shame.
