PAM 682 ZF

[klockjohan]

Just saw this one at INTIME
Looks like it has a more correct flat case back than XF.

Not enough resolution on your photo. Here's a bigger one with the same photo for the XF.

XF

From these pictures it does look like that ZF has a thinner caseback than the ZF. Also the ads state XF is 16.5mm thick while ZF is 15.5mm thick. It may only be 1mm thinner, but that's a 6% reduction in thickness.

How accurate ZF compare to Gen , I wish Get Side By Side Near

Also the bezel on ZF looks more genlike. A bit wider than the XF.

Without an actual measurement, it just might be our eyes. Unlike the caseback which is clearly thinner on the ZF.

Don't do it.
XF looks much closer to GEN than ZF in compare dial width / bezel width ratio. (measured and calculated from available pictures)

Waiting side by side ZF with Gen , ZF bought Gen Sample

can you explain a bit more about that?

 

[pf78]

below is gen

and XF

OK, I looked at the proportion of bezel width on all three models and XF looks to GEN for me than ZF.
I measured than Outside Diameter of bezel and O.D. of xtal.
I got bezel / xtal O.D. ratio. When we assume that O.D. of all models will be 100 mm than:

• GEN bezel is aprox 10.7 mm
• XF is close 10.5 mm
• ZF is 11.6 mm

ZF is definitely fatter, but I don't think it is closer to GEN than XF.

It is my thoughts. PM me, if you will let XF go.

I haven't seen nor handled the gen obviously (seems like only the internal team and some pr did) but I've handled my friend's xf rep and it looked somehow really odd and I couldn't pinpoint exactly where but I guess it was the bezel/dial proportion. If gen is like xf then it's an odd watch imho.

some pics of gen (found on google) looks a bit odd too, maybe its the not-too-ordinary size

This would be personal preferences and impressions, I believe those are not such horrible :bigwink:.
There are two more points:

• CP on ZF looks to me too big, XF is closer to GEN
• However overall thickness of ZF case plays big role as well

Would it be because of 42 mm diameter? Most of us get used to 47 mm submersibles.

ZF is a clear winner on the caseback, not too sure about the bezel though

i think we will know more when theres a full review on the ZF
