ZF Seamaster has landed

CG?

Crown guard

CG?

Hate to repeat what already has been answered, but I don't fancy being rude either CG stands for Crown Guards. Since you ask, you might don't know that for whatever reason (God knows why...) people at VSF are adamant to make wrong CGs in their reps. It's an equivalent of hands in 15202s and 16202. An easy fix of a huge tell, but the simply couldn't be bothered. Then again, why should they? People are buying those watches regardless

Yeh thanks, I realised after they had wrote it but didn't want to double post. I'm aware the vsf have smaller crown guards. Oh well! Huge tells for people in the know but the average Joe is clueless

Lol yeah to spot the CG And call it a rep

You bought ZF's one, right? Care to share some pics?

I can post some yes but there are already extensive comparison photos for the blue colour I got

Excellente rédaction. Je suis d'accord, la plus grosse déception que j'ai eu avec VSF Seamasters c'est le lume et le bracelet. Il ne reste plus à ZF que de se procurer ses bracelets auprès d'ORF. Cet insert ZF est également parfaitement aligné.

This is a QC picture from my blue ZF which I have already approved. Any comments...?

 

[Teamjlf]

If you’ve approved it and you’re happy with it then that’s all that counts mate.

 

[solomonkane]

That's a good ZF my friend.

 

[Mezzos]

Looks very good . How long have you waited for QC pics?

Black Dial ZF under different lights:

Thanks for showing the different angles, helps a lot to see it in many different lighting situations.

I think I'll grab the ZF too, not liking the crown guard and off white indices on the VSF.

Once you see the weird VSF crown guards, you can't unsee.

Lots of small detail issues with the VSF
-Crown guard shape is wrong
-Crown and crown tube quality - strips easily
-Bracelet end link raised section is not polished to match bracelet link
-No regulator screw on movement

 

[etashazam]

Unfortunately, the red seamaster lettering is too dark (see second picture)...otherweise an almost perfect rep.
I would still prefer this over the ORF and VSF.

maybe a vsf dial with zf lume maker?

Really curious what frankens exist, as that dark red is a bit annoying.

Agreed! I'm biding my time to see if a UK ZF seamaster in black comes up for sale. If my patience runs out, I'll order from a TD..
