Amazing Piece

Amazing piece by ZF. Does anyone know what straps will fit this model from aliexpress? And what tool to use to take the screws out? I purchased one from aliexpress but it is too thick to fit in the hole.

i just got a strap from Alix, didn't fit the holes. i filed them and they are on now.

What tool did you use to take the screws out? I have 2 and they are both too big to fit in the holes with screws

I ran into the problem of the 4 prong tool I bought being too large. There are 2 sizes they come in. I got one off amzn that is the smaller size (4prong-2.35mm) that works for the strap screws.

Black is also made

Do you have experience having an RM built with this super clone movement?

Who is the best to go with this built? AMF? TWM?

i bought both 2.35 for mine, neither would fit, i had to sand the shit out of them. i may just look into the tooling to make my own.

Any news yet on when ZF is dropping white ceramic?

 

[krkqm2008]

I am waiting on the white ceramic , and hopefully the grey ceramic

 

[Reaps]

Still not September yet. Promise you when there is news it will be here.

 

[drstrangeph]

Is their a possibility that it will be in super clone movement like the one posted above?

 

[drstrangeph]

Hit reply too soon. Wonder what the price on this version of the movement is going to be. It looks great.

Were you able to know the price?

 

[Treacherous_A_Tickle]

I did not find out the price, but I didn’t PM anyone to ask.

Good to know! Is it true this is closer to gen look than the gen vaucher?

I asked around and one with clone is around 12k and one with gen vaucher is around 15-16k. But if the clone is reliable and looks closer then its just practical to go that way. I dont think ZF will mass produce a super clone free sprung due to cost like the ACE movement on PP.

I am 100% sure you will get scam with thes price quote. There is no way 12k for 1:1 clone build and totally no way 16k for gen voucher. You must likely will not get the movement you asked for, OR you have the movement , but the rest of parts are garbage, like case set will not be true CNC ntpt or titanium wrap rubber gen spec. Probably bbr case reworked only.

Depends who he asked. I actually got mine for around that price.

Then your moder should have a very big stock with factory inorder to make it around that price bro. Lucky man!

I got the quote from TWM and AMF, both trusted dealer here. 12k-13k for an RM built with super clone free sprung. And 16k for an RM built with gen vaucher.

Where did you get yours?

But the quotes came from trusted dealers here.

I guess they buy very big stocks of parts inorder to do so.
