Arf, not the best release by zf.
At least it's not so bad for a 1st try.

After receiving my QC pics and checking them I have sa small issue. Would be appreciated if you could give me your input.

Do you guys think that the small white spot under the A in "Swiss MADE" is an ink spill. The spot appears on all my QC in exactly the same spot, so it cant be an reflection or dust on the xtal.

Everything is perfectly aligned, one of the best ones I’ve seen so far

i know i am also amazed by the alignment. Its just this small white spot I am worried about. If its an ink spill it would be hard to unsee.
But maybe its best to GL it and if its really an ink spill I can have it cleaned when I send it to service.
The ink should be possible to be removed/scratched off.

That is IMO simply not a reason to not accept a watch :) Get it, you won’t get a better one

i think ZF will kill JF 15703 , inner bezel shared by kobe noway to distinguish gen vs rep , and kobe announced JF have open and close case back genuine sample so 100% there’s comparison.

Where I need to be.
I also suspect this spot is far to small to be visible by the naked eye. What would you say?

You’re right.
However it’s entirely up to you to decide what you can accept and what you cannot. It’s something the community cannot decide for you ultimately.

Thanks for your input.
I GL the watchfew days ago because I really don't care about a spot that small.
The decision should always be done by yourself so you can live with it. If something is not clear, some input from other members is always very valuable. I just wanted the expertise of some fellow members and I got it ... it helped me a lot.
Thanks to all of you!

I like whatever ZF is doing when it’s up to AP (even RM). I’ll choose any AP from ZF over JF now... and I’m still a JF fan
