4 (Four!) Spitfire 3878 as of yet - so what now?

[Variatio Delectat]

Actually we can skip BP as clearly being not very good, but the SWF version seems to be the best, have a look at the pictures, they got the concentric circles right as well as the two-tone lume (hands vs. markers) and the sunburst, even the engravings on the backside are very good (not that I would care very much for that). Of course the rotor of the ZF is better decorated, but IMO that does not matter the slightest bit on a closed caseback anyway.

So actually my vote goes for the SWF, but I would like to make use of the wisdom of the forum, what do you guys think?

V2: http://puretime.watch/product/pilot-chrono-ss-3878-silver-dial-on-brown-leather-strap-a7750-v2/

I'd pick the SWF out of those three too. Just looks better to my eye.

I'd still go with ZF. it has the concentric circles and better date window shape, size and position

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Yes, after watching some close-up videos I consider ZF as the best in terms of accuracy.

I prefer ZF.

[Variatio Delectat]

So did I, just arrived. Unfortunately the rotor does not work properly so it already went to the watch smith.

The rotor repair should be an easy fix.

[Variatio Delectat]

Well, I sure hope so.

What was the outcome?
I've had one delivered and it worked for 1 day before giving up the ghost, rotor is moving, datewheel and time setting is all fine but it's just not ticking away - my colleague order the exact same ZF one which seems to be fine.

The watch smith fixed it, everything ok now.
