Dark Night arrived yesterday and I’m positively surprised with this KVF release.
(Bright light)
FC pattern is refined now. It runs horizontally with some areas that are uneven as it should be. It’s a big step in a right direction by KVF.
I wish there were more uneven areas but it’s WAY-WAY better than anything else available on the market right now. It looks great.
Complexity of the pattern can be achieved - it’s more complex on the back case. It also depends how it was cut. But the big thing for me is the direction pattern runs. Ok lets see some pics of the case and FC pattern in different lighting conditions.
Dial looks great. Kvf payed more attention to subdials so markings are accurate. Many KVF rm011s have incorrect markings on the 9oclock subdial that also include white ghost.
Crystal is about the same as I’m white ghost that I used to own. It does reflect light. But it’s not a deal killer as it can be fixed by prof Steve. However gen rm watches don’t have 2AR.
Lume shits:
Strap and clasp are same kvf rm011 white ghost quality.
Thickness and shape of the case is still the same. But I think overall feel of the rep is more premium than white ghost I used to own. At one point I will compare them together side by side.
Some pics of the gen Dark Night:
More pics of KVF:
In conclusion it’s a very good rep. I really like it. I think pics speaks for itself. I took all pics with iPhone.
I’m waiting to see what ZF comes out with. I think I will skip ZF rm052 skull as it’s too cheesy for me but I will definitely get ZF RM011 when it comes out - who knows how long we will wait.
In the meantime I’m thinking about newly released kvf rm035 America.
Cheers!!!
