Hi all!

I haven't seen any posts on this watch since 2021. Does anyone know if there has been any new versions since then? Maybe someone has pictures of ones ordered at least in 2023? White dial or black dial, doesn't matter.

Thanks!

There was an update last year. I’ve posted my pics and they’re similar to the QC photos posted above. They corrected the bezel and sub dials but it still has many flaws.

ZF is missing out. If they had a decent rep of this it would sell better than that awful red and black BB41.

That’s the same one. I have one and it’s not bad as V2 (the first was worse) but I wish they used the correct crown (Should be raised) and a domed crystal. Otherwise, besides the sunken date it’s a good watch.

they look different. the dial text and logo on the one Andiot is advertising is absolutely miles off. Trusty option looks more in keeping with the original. both have the date at the bottom of a well / a7750 issue. if anyone gets the Trusty version please let me know - its looking like its got an error on pricing as my screen showed it available at $8,880.00 :)

Is it possible to solve the sinking of the date numbers by swap a Swiss 7750?

From what I’m gathering, the TWF and TWS versions seem to have slight variations, with Trusty’s offering looking closer to the gen, at least in terms of dial text and logo. But that sunken date issue with the A7750 movement remains a thorn in the side for most reps of this model.

As for solving the sunken date, swapping in a Swiss 7750 could be an option, though it’s not always straightforward and might require a skilled watchmaker. If anyone manages to tackle this mod successfully, please share your experience, it’d be a game-changer for those of us chasing perfection!
