Can someone tell me the difference between this model and the previous APSF?

First week of March, both YB (with yellow/green internals) will be available. I have ordered white 🙌🏼 but might switch as I like the black too 😂
Do you have any idea when or if the grey rehaut version will be released soon? It is really disappointing to hear that the strap is oddly sized.

Just received my ZF Carbon 61.

First impression:

Pro's:
-Very well build, buttersmooth operation.
-Alot better than APSF. Case shape, printing, movt finish all look better.
-Black ribs shimmer in certain lights.
-Carbon has a slight polish, but not much tbh

Cons:
-@6 strap length is way too long, not sure how they measured this. I have a 17/17,5cm wrist, on the last hole and still need to punch a extra one.
-Carbon pattern is nowhere near gen, but hey. Who has seen a gen anyway in the wild lol
-Should have more shine in the carbon, even though it has a little.

Looks amazing man ! How is the feeling of the watch on the wrist? Does it wear like a rm55? Do you plan to release some straps for it? ;)

Yes! wears very similar although it is a little bigger. I have a 17/17,5cm wrist, but caseshape wise it fits amazing. We already have the velcro straps made for the 61-01 yes :). I am still debating what color to put it on tbh lol.

Amazing! Didn't know you had straps for it already. Black / White or a Miami blue should probably look the best on the ultimate. Just my opinion.

This sounds interesting. Are they asymmetrical? White with green velcro should be a good combo 🙌🏼

ZF cannot be trusted:

Happened after winding and wanting to set time. Simply popped off.

I'm pretty much off of any ZF replica. They are so sloppy and their QC actually blows. They cut alot of corners. After owning about 7-8 of them every single one has some issue or corners cut. Only their Black Bay 58 line is moderately ok.

Can't agree more. Had a 3716 IWC from them recently with rotor issue... seems not to rotorwind properly i.e. dry rotor wheels

WTF? But on the positive side, it is easy to fix… still extremely disappointing. ZF used to be such a reliable factory….
Already curing with Uhu Epoxy glue. imo, there is no better two-way epoxy than that brand. It can even keep marriages together i bet lol.

Did anyone get the black ceramic version of ZF? Very curious to see.
