ZF Black Bay Pro
- Thread starter JayBee0815
- Start date
Now, if only ZF would rep the black bay chrono then everything would be perfect 
Incorrect hands stack.Thanks for the answer! What is ICHS?
Discussed a while back - GMT hand is supposed to be above the hour hand. It is bellow, so not as per gen.
15mm case size? Too bulky for me gents hehe
Hont has them at $338 with free shipping. Almost ordered one today, as he had some in stock ready for 24 QC. Then watched tons of videos again and got to say the thickness is holding me back a bit. Got a rep Seiko SPB185 build that I'm just finishing off (stainless steel bezel, so same sort of vibe), so might do that first and then will consider placing the BB Pro order once I've see some of the reviews on here.
I'm assuming the rep BB Pro dial is flat and not textured like the gen (same as with the ZF other BB reps).

Yeah it’s flat which is unfortunate. I really like the roughness of the gen dial and hands painting.

That was quick. Looks great, congrats!
I love these photos, quickly taken in the car right after pick up because you can't wait

Shit, did you receive it already? How long did it take? How’s the feeling?
I tempted faith with a Fedex option....
Initial thoughts:
Initial thoughts:
- Dates are perfectly centered, all of them.
- No dial alignment issues, as some posted about my QC
- The bezel numbers are not as close to the edge (or bevel) as they seem on camera.
- No, the thickness or height is not as bad as some make it. If you can wear a 16660 Sea Dweller, you can wear this.
- Feel is up to ZF standards. I have owned a PP Aquanaut and the BB Pepsi GMT from them, feels great.
- The clasp microadjustment.... a dream... Feels as good as my Monta's... Bracelet needs an oil bath.
- Hand stack? I can't tell ICHS or CHS unless I pay actual attention to it. The black painted hand bases hide it well.
- NWBIG? Hell. Yeah.

Gosh I’m so happy it’s out. My kinda “next in the list” watch. I was inches close to pulling the trigger on the gen in December. Ended getting limited edition GS, it was a good deal. Now wait a good QC from Hont and let’s go!
How does in wear compared to the Spectre that I sold you? That one was thick for me but this looks thickerHere it is!
The way the case is made on this, compared to the Spectre absorbs the thickness. It really hugs your wrist as opposed to the Spectre, who has lugs that overhang. It honestly wears like a 41 Datejust.
Very good.
No I just have to overcome my deep-rooted hate for snowflake hands and I can actually buy it.
