I Think the clasp is a little to lose. maybe a qc problem. here is a gen clasp from a member here:

So if I read correctly, looks like ZF has best case and movement, but JF has better bracelet.
I still have my JF with slimed case, but the ZF case/Bezel looks better. I may have to buy the ZF and take some pieces from my JF and put them on the ZF

Why JF have a better bracelet?
AP tap is slightly moveable on gen, ZF's did JF's not.
Bracelet ink chamfer too much on JF's, ZF's closer to Gen.

I am just going by what I read here. I asked PT if the grey dial was available yet amd they told me, not yet. Once it is, I will buy it and see how it compares to my case slimmed JF.

ZF clasp logo piece flops around
True, I got mine a few days ago and noticed that (not immediately). But nothing to worry, its easy fix, plus I did some chrono 24 investigation and found out it happens to the gen as well.

Awesome. Thanks. Will try on mine when it arrives. Waiting for qc now. Zf seems to good with production as i rarely saw watches being rejected on this thread.

Remove the screw, and the clasp put a little tape between the clasp and bracelet. So the tape will push the clasp. It looks perfect and takes no more than 5-6 min

Good call. I will do this myself. Thanks

Is it just me or does the brushing look different on the ZF? It seems... rougher somehow. Especially compared to a JF. The brushing popped out to me in every pic here in the thread (of a ZF).

here is another Video from the comperison between z+ and jf v5. You can clearly see, there is no real sunburst on z+ dials. I don t know from witch year the z+ dails should be like gen, but I don t like them.
The Color of the blue dial looks good but it doesn t have a real sunburst. And the brushing on that Jf v5 example looks a little bit better.

The dial colour is incorrect, where it tells everything. It’s a disappointment


Either he’s dead or my watch has stopped.

I must say, I have it and it looks really nice, it’s not noisy, very accurate running -5 sec / 24h, the thing which bothers me is the dial doesn’t really have the sunburst effect.

hm? Did they change the dial? Because one of the first videos had a sunburst effect (the blue one).

Edit: That video looks strange, completely different than all of the videos i have of the ZF.

Edit2: Kitaro
black or blue dial?

I saw all Videos.
It has a sunburst, but it moves either all dark or all bright. It doesn t have a real sunburst effect.
Don t know how to explane better.
