OK so maybe I'm a little pessimistic today because the weather is shit in Shanghai, I have a cold and I just burnt my hand with boiling coffee...
BUT I don't think it will get much better than this. To me, it is unrealistic to think that the factories will come up with anything close to 1:1 movement and size, with functioning datewheels and gears per gen. Yes, there is the proto pic, but honestly it shows close to nothing except that the fac can print datewheels, probably with the shiny new 3D printer it bought.
So ZF might come up with something (if that's not the watch released a few days ago, which still is to be verified), but I'm afraid it will be disappointing both in looks and reliability, if they create a new movement by themselves. Remember Puretime's section here is mainly marketing.
