Indeed this ZF looks nicer than the previous one you posted.
Now we have something for those concerned by KW's darker color of inscriptions :)

Waiting to hear your comments on this latest ZF, and maybe another gen vs rep! :thumbsup:

Mate, how's the crown winding and changing positions in the ZF?
I have the KW and is a beautiful piece but the crown is way too damn hard to move.

I have the A7750 version which is very smooth and definitely not hard to move.

Which movement do you have in yours? A23J or A7750?

met up with my pals; here's a comparison of KW vs ZF (version ?, listed in my another post) vs Gen (P series)



Gen vs this ZF



1) Inscriptions colors are close, Gen seems to change color under different light

2) Gen dial has a very subtle tint of green

3) ZF numbers 12, 6 and 9 have some small differences. more evident at 6. If not comparing side by side, unnoticeable.

4) Lever Pin bigger than Gen

5) CP bigger than Gen

6) Deco plate: while not refined as KW's, more accurate details.

conclusion, hybrid mod: Swop the the dial, date wheel and deco plate unto KW's case set = very nice!

I agree on everything (well, deco plates are not shown), I would just add that dial cutouts (numbers, indices, seconds subdial) are fatter than gen, and CP is not only bigger but looks also raised instead of flat, REG. T.M. font looks too tall. Also, look at the finishing of those gen hands... :drool:
Apart from these details we still have a very good rep from ZF, inscriptions look very crisp and color very close to gen.

Thanks for the pics and impressions mate :thumbsup:

Thanks CybNoX for this interesting comparison
Rep points added

That said I agree completely with kilo the ZFac cutouts are clearly fatter than gen, and this is not a lighting matter
