Any news on the XF BB 58 version yet?

I would be interested too!

 

[oh_lol]

Been patiently waiting for someone to make a better version of the BB58. Hopefully something pops up soon.

Hasn’t heard of this, as someone that owns the zf v2 I’ll probably pick this up to compare

 

[northernsoul27]

It would be very interesting to see what the differences are between the ZF V2 and this one....

 

[northernsoul27]

That is, if it actually is the case that ZF have made their own version... It seems to be that, after the one original post from March, that there have been no further details on the matter. Maybe this is how the process usually works though, I don't know.

*I meant XF in my previous post, not ZF!! Doh!

Is the whole basis of this thread, the blurry, no explanation pic in the OP?

 

[northernsoul27]

Yes, exactly!

 

[dayvidou]

northernsoul27 , do you think it is worth waiting ? It's been a few moths now :/

 

[michi_werner]

Haha i really hope that photoshopped fake picture is not the only basis here!

I don't think I can continue waiting for much longer! The pictures of the BB58 that we both missed out on on the sales page looked absolutely beautiful!

It's true... I am still hoping they will improve the dial !

Yes - I've heard people saying that the dial is 'smooth' compared to the gen...I was wondering if it's maybe possible to just buy a different dial by itself, and put it into the rep? Personally I don't think it would matter enough for me to do that, but I know that it is possible (for example, I can see dials for sale at https://www.helenarou.com/eta-2828242836.html)

It's true, it could be possible ! Do you think that the dials would fit both the bb heritage and bb 58 ? Because the total size is not the same (41mm vs. 39mm) but I don't know if the dial is the same.
But anyway, it looks to be a lot of work and in addition, the price for printing is 110$ :/

Hmmm...good point - I forgot about the different sizes. I actually have no idea, to be honest. I also saw too that the printing actually costs double the price of a plain dial!!

Any news?

Any news?

Lol - no. The OP was a load of smoke.

Any updates?

I hope xf do release the 58 because their quality and attention to detail is better for example on the black bay bronze I prefer their version over zf
