Very nice! The sub-dials look deep per gen, which is something missing from the new ZF 3714-46, as some members have pointed out.

Is yours genuine, or perhaps an SWF rep?

Its an SWF, which IMO is more accurate to gen than ZF (I own both version). As you pointed out, the sub dials are deeper, the texture and color of the dial is closer to gen as well, the lugs are closer to gen and the clasp is also closer to gen. The major disadvantage is the secs@6, however since they've added jewels and reduced the gears I've no problems with it at all and I definitely prefer wearing it over my ZF

I'm on fire! I am becoming pretty good at distinguishing between these Portugieser reps and gens ;)

I have the SWF 3714 in white dial w/ gold and I love it. Mine's been running great for quite some time too. I have only been considering a ZF for sake of the slightly thinner case. Would like to transplant the dial from the SWF onto the ZF if I do get it.
