Chixisigma 461 Posted April 6, 2018 @GingerBubba Still waiting on the ZicZac strap but how does this compare with your ZF? More pics needed? Chi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,315 Posted April 6, 2018 Looks the same to me mate, looks good. That was my third Rep purchase ever. I never wear it now to be honest.... got the Rolex/Diver bug instead. Hopefully you wear your more than I did. I might need to dig mine out again; it is a nice watch, congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chixisigma 461 Posted April 6, 2018 As promised, a 'full-ish' review This has the same movement as the revised ZFs and has been running v. accurately so far (<1 day). Functioning chronograph. Quite the novelty and the mechanical feedback, particularly on the reset, is very pleasing. The long, thin second counter is a beautiful thing in flight as it circumnavigates the edge of the dial. I've never really been obsessed with a dial before but this is breathtaking 'in the flesh'. A real beauty. Been looking at it for most of the day (sorry boss). It's very difficult to catch the blue accents of the watch looking blue. Rather they're navy blue at best and most often appear almost black, but when the light catches them just right...oh boy! The small hacking secs dial at 6 is very cool too. The build quality and attention to detail from YL gets two thumbs up. I was tossing up the ZF model, of course, but an extensive discussion across the road led me to here and I'm dead 'appy. The rep strap actually looks great. However, I'm still glad I have a ZicZac custom en route. Overall, extremely pleased. Highly recommended. Onto the pics... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanArgon 1 Posted April 6, 2018 I asked mary about which factory for this as well ZF or YL... She was eagle-eye sharp. Do you guys know why she suggested YL as better... Look at the marking of the '3' and the marking of the '15'... the one on ZF doesn't line-up while the one on YL aligns perfectly as seen in this the watch posted here... I am getting from Mary soon - the one with Gold numerals... 36 minutes ago, Chixisigma said: As promised, a 'full-ish' review This has the same movement as the revised ZFs and has been running v. accurately so far (<1 day).
