hi guys, im relatively new here in the world of rep watches, i am about to pull the trigger on a ZF 1:1 FF 2836 and from what i can judge i’ll probably buy from puretime or trusty time. (If anyone has any info on which of the two is fastest/better with UK delivery that would be great).

I just wanted to ask (being new and all), are there any common problems associated with these that i should draw my attention to in QC pictures? i cant find an awful lot of threads talking about problems with them but rather than just assuming all will be hunky-dory i thought i should ask the experts if there are any immediate ‘tells’ so to speak.
I also wanted to ask about the rose gold vs stainless steel version, it states that the rose colour plating is thick however has anyone ever had any trouble with this wearing thin? I know even the best gold plating can wear over time but i just wondered if this should effect my choice of colour (as only $20 extra for rose colour, which is stunning).
Finally, has anyone ever had any issue with waterproofing, i’d love it to be swim proof so plan to ideally get it fully certified via a watchsmith as waterproof - but ehat are they like out of the box? Or is it just a case of some are good some are bad?
Thanks for reading and i sincerely hope all you knowledgable lot can chime in with some good suggestions for a noobie first time buyer, i Can see myself sinking into the pit of getting a new hobby rather fast & im already spending way too much time on RWI
Thanks
