ZF Blancpain Fifty Fathoms mods

[freediver]

I am blown away by ZF in FF and after the black i got the blue titanium. I would like to gather any mod available in this topic for our watch. Right now i am trying to improve bezel turn, and interaktiv fixed the date window flaw for me. For some might be minor but my OCD was haunting me so with little paint i am very satisfied with the result
Before

and after

Next task is work out the waved outer dial ring

Also interested if someone can correct the numbers position on the dial (mostly 1 and 2) by heating the dial or.....

Thank you freediver for your help

How did you re align the date ? Mine is slightly (1// 2mm) off to the right and its really annoying me... Can you post more specific pics?

I didn't have to, guess luck from the draw, both my ZF's have almost perfect placement on date window
I guess ask a watchsmith about yours

I wouldn’t do this. Yes you can remove and reattach but it’s risky and potential damage is high.

For the case I want to implant a real ETA - is this possible without to much trouble?
Of course I would give this to my watchmaker.

Love my ZF steel, yesterday received. Moves quite good.
Only the stem, changing date / time, feels a bit mushy and unprecise.

Is this normal?
Does a service makes it better?

Yes you can

or service the existing clone which is not bad

The only real complaint is the bezel(which I use rarely) - it clicks nice, but has quite a play in the opposite direction.

Can there be done something about it, or it’s just a have to take it?

thank you very much for the infos!

love this watch!

Can be improved and worst case scenario dental floss can work too

Are we talking about a simple wraparound to tighten up
