Nothing ghostly about the lines. They are simply the edges of the painted base upon which the lumed numbers are set up on. They are clear and distinct and distinctly exist.

Nothing about it really looks like good or better than ZF, apart from the classic font.
Yes but dial feet will need to be shaved except if you use the 3120 clone
Got my new ZF AP Diver today from my TD, it looks and feels amazing compared to my old JF v7.
But the inner bezel / ring that you can rotate with the left crown, might stopped working just now.
When I got the watch it was not straight 12 o clock, so I turned the left crown slowly and carefully, but just about when it was getting close to 12, it stopped working.
And now when I turn it, it won’t move, feels like it’s slipping inside.
Is this something that is easy to fix for a Watch Smith ?
And if so, who do you recommend to do a full service, waterproof, regulate and fix the issue at the same time.
Thanks!

Sorry to hear about that, there are some great watch smiths in EU…..

Yes, I know about the Watchmakers section , but I wanted to hear if someone had any personal experience with the issue I’m having and if it’s easy to fix or if I might need some new parts or new movement.
Thanks
Correct, a little off, and then I tried to fix it but slow turning the left crown, and now it stuck as picture shows, even worse when I got it …

I only ask because if it was a lot worse than shown in picture I would have asked to have it aligned at 12 before approving to make sure everything lines up…..
Yes I have fixed and realigned many of these. But remember the mechanism will remain fragile after the repair, and I always advise owners to leave the dive bezel mechanism well alone. I understand that you rotated it in the first place because the markers were not aligned. So that couldn't be helped.Got my new ZF AP Diver today from my TD, it looks and feels amazing compared to my old JF v7.

To be honest I never mess around with rotating bezels and chronographs. Made the mistake once setting off chronograph and wouldn’t reset to 12…..had to let it complete a full cycle then stop it to be exactly lined up again

Since you have done this before, usually, Does one need new parts to fix this issue or just needs service of the watch ?
Thanks!
