Just received my silver dial today.
I'm impressed by the overall feeling, this beauty is nice from case to clasp. Good crystal too with a popping dial, very nice job by ZF/PPF đź‘Ś

Oh wow , so nice , congrats!!! :)

This is growing on me :) how would you compare the rep dial vs the gem please ? I am being lazy I admit I guess I could did it around but since you posted here I give it a try ;)

Do you think any mods should be planned ? Any chance for you to post daylight pics please ?

Thanks so much for your time

I have never held the gen so I can't tell about how close the ZF is to it. All I know is that it does the job compared to the comments around and the reviews over YT.

Here are more outdoor pics with different lights + lumeshot

Sometimes I fear my clean panda Daytona is a watch I can’t pull off. somehow this is what I think of as an alternative even though the retail is more, most people don’t know it

Thank you so much for your time and for the shots ! It’s a beauty ! I would assume that stock crystal so no need for a 2AR swap then.
Wear it in good health ! Cheers :)

Gen crystal is also known to be pretty reflective as well. So I would say no need to upgrade the crystal of the ZF unless it's a personal taste.

When you think about it that’s a pretty sad… you belong to the Rwi community what is the main motto here : Enjoy your reps for what they are enjoy them for you !!!
Do not fear an illusion ! Nobody cares about what you sport on your wrist , just enjoy it or sell it if you get such odd feelings…
I get where you come from but there are more serious matters in life then watches ;)

Hi friends.

I have got this wonderful blue ZF dial. Also my MKS 4500v in coming in. Will I be able to swap dials?( I think they are using same movement.)



On top of that, I see some misalignment on 12 index. But it seems like almost all ZF this issue. The track 60 - 12 hour marker - VC Logo alinment looks kind of off. Can modder fix this?

If anyone has a spare for a PPF / ZF 4500V (preferably one from the 6 o’clock side and one for the 12 o’clock side) will happily buy them from you!

Thanks everyone!

That's the listing I was talking about. The seller has multiple gen blue dials however none of them are in great condition.
Probally a jeweler taking off damaged ones and replacing them

Wanted to check with owners of this watch on the flexibility of the first link
Looks like the MKS has pretty stiff first link so not ideal for smaller wrists. Does ZF have same issue?

Received ZF 4500V blue dial but bracelet doesn’t fit. To small for my wrist.

Anyone in the EU willing to part with 2-3 links?
