V4 GF Blackbird

[tkingjr]

Foxxfire The staps used with a deployant clasp are different than used with a buckle. They have holes on the edges for the spring bars. I bought my extra straps from my TD.

 

[Foxxfire]

Thanks!
Any idea where I can source a DLC coated "Blacksteel" deployment clasp fitting in colour and material the blacksteel case?

 

[tkingjr]

I ordered the strap and black steel deployant when I ordered a watch from GF. My TD is Lucy

 

[Foxxfire]

Nice watch!
How do I order from Lucy?
Does Lucy provide triangle shipping to the EU?

 

[Foxxfire]

Folks, I need your wisdom.
The Bezel on my Blackbird does not align precisely (see pic). How complicated is it, do correct this misalignment?

 

[tkingjr]

I think you just have to rotate the Bezel 1 click counter-clockwise and all is well. Here is my Bandit with the Bezel one click off.

 

[Foxxfire]

Unfortunately not. If I rotate the bezel one further click, the pearl's position is between the "59" minute marker and "60".
Either way I have to decide for a pearl's position between "59" and "60" or a postion between "60" and "1". There is no chance to position the pearl precisely above "60".

Hi guys, has anyone tried putting the ZF blackbird crystal in the GF? Would it fit? The GF V4 has a really strong blue reflection at certain angles as someone mentioned here before. The ZF crystal is more gen-like from what i can see. Thanks in advance

You send lucy an email [email protected]. Lucy can source the items you want. The extra straps are difficult to get without an order for a GF watch. If you have never ordered from Lucy you need patience. She is very very slow but her QC is exceptional so you are rewarded with the best Rep she can find. Plus she tests the watch for a week. If you can't wait you should pick another TD.

At now it's very hard to find out a blacksteel deplo clasp that match 100% the color of the case.
Keep in touch with my contact and will let you know news.

2 years late but finally managed to source a ZF double AR crystal and fit it to my GF blackbird. Also tightened the bezel and swapped in a PT5000 mvmt + swiss eta datewheel at the same time. ZF's crystal dimension is the exact same as GF, so yeah, this answers my own question back in 2019. For other owners here who are looking to upgrade their crystal, this is a cheaper alternative to prof 2xAR

I had GF and ZF, i prefer ZF becouse GF case is grey and crown is black, and ZF case is the same colour that crown and same colour that gen, becouse GF is grey.

I ordered a blackbird gf after asking TD the availability. After two weeks waiting, i asked about the situation. Now I have been informed that gf is not working recently.

I am not happy about the situation but wanted to inform anyone if considering to order this model.

The factories are being raided by the police for the last few months. Some may never return. You can find a thread or two about this problem. If I get a watch in under 8 weeks I am delighted. I have 5 watches on order. One is recent, the other 4 go back to August. One will ship next week. The others have no date in sight. I am not the least bit worried. I just have to wait.

I got a question for the blackbird users... Do you have any problems with DLC coating? Is it durable? I am thinking about buying one and adding the Ali clasp:
