ZF 4500v

[Tiger4]

Two new photos from the brown and white dial versions ...





I like the white sunburst ... cant wait to see my QC-Pics ;-)

Looks stunning! Perfect amount of sunburst, it’s not too much or too little.

The date window is pretty aligned with this batch in your photo. Most of the photos I’ve seen on a lot of the TD website has a crooked date window which slopes up to the right. Was hoping that not all of the new batch will be like this.

The silver/metal dial looks incredible and with 11.1mm they do also come in gen-like thickness. Can’t wait to see some QC pictures

Differences in thickness isn’t surprising - same happens with their AP15400. It is due to the lack of strict parts tolerances and QC at assembly

That's looking pretty good JayBee0815 All of the white ones that are coming in look pretty good. Below is also a GL. I am still waiting on the Blue as well.

I’m seeing some TD list the movement as Miyota 9015 and some as Asian 23j for the ZF 4500v. So which movement are in all the QC photos provided already by the TD on this thread?

Still unsure if there’s actually two separate movements offered or if it’s all the same movement.

These silver dialed 4500v are looking impressive! Never been into overseas but this is tempting

Exactly my thoughts. Will probably order after I've seen a few QC's...

how reliable is the 23j? is it a cheap movement or something

Depends which factory they come from. Range between workhorse and pure garbage

At least it is a high beat movement, so it cant be 2813-Crap ;-)
And its from ZF. Normally ZF has a quite good hand with movements. My only fear is, that the rotor might be loud. The supplier for bearings for the automatic modules in Reps seem to have huge(!) quality problems in the last months (VSF Pams, JF AP RO Diver and so on).

it's one of the most cheap...

Would there be a particular reason for not using a Miyota 9015 movement? ZF often uses it and 8F does so too for the 4500v...

Yes, the balance bridge is on the wrong side if you want to mimic the gen movement

Yes they do. “Micro adjustments”

Anyone received one yet?

Mine is Germany since Saturday but DHL seems to be in snail mode. It was announced for Monday. I hope, I will get her before the Easter-Weekend ;-)
