JF 127 seems to be wrongly named... it seems that its ZF.
btw. lets see if KW vs ZF can beat Mr Crème de la Crème (noob) superclone

I still vote that the noob is better.
- lume is still too green
- side profile of lug shape is wrong
- "PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI" engravings on the bridges do not look as crisp/sharp, also the legs on the A are too short.
but still a worthy 127 overall,
plus they have also fixed a few flaws on the standard rep panerai 6497 movements:
- long micrometric screw
- Y incabloc installed
- pallet plate is brushed
The usual flaws which where on the noob 127 and still here on the ZF 127.
- the gold text on the bridges should be gold, they looks yellow here.
- beveled edges on rachet and crown wheels not polished
- gear train has a polished finish instead of brushed finish.

To me it looks like a nice effort. Overall I prefer noob, but it's OOS so...
Micrometric screw is longer indeed, but it looks like it's not touching the regulator so it's easily identifiable.
The Y incabloc is a welcome update.
I agree with all the other things said by nicktan.
The front looks good, except the lugs from a side view, but CG lever pin and tip look better in noob.
All very small details imho, if I did not have a noob already, I'd go for this anyway

[MENTION=30904]Winemaker[/MENTION] : not very cool not to post a link at minima to support your claim...
Well they sent my QC pics of the watch, didn't look too bad. However, they have gone through a couple watches because they won't hold a power reserve over 8 hours...at least they are trying.
KW is a go. Can't say who I received this info from since they are on the forum and highly respected. I can't say more as I'm sure he will chime in when the time is right. I'm sure we will hear much more in the coming week.
