Hiiiiiiiii, today I got it! :drinks_cheers:

Very very happy!!! :punk:

This is my 2nd rep (the 1st one was Noob V7, but I sold it after 2 weeks to buy Blancpain).

It is so sweet!!! And the rubber strap is not that bad! They fixed the mistake "fiftG" and now it is 100% correct "fiftY"

The finishing is superb!!! Wish just to center the date a bit and get rid off the small dust on the datewheel, should I ever open the caseback or just enjoy it?

Guys, I see the tail of the next date. Can I do something to center the date? What should I do: rotate a bit the dial or the date wheel?

You are dealing fake watches, dont expect perfection
The ZF is a super rep, you arent going to find a perfect rep for this price and a quick research on the internet shows that the gen got this 'problem you mentioned' as well.

Umm, I can barely see that on the inside lug of my piece? Let's set our expectations accordingly.

Mine says STEEL, but If it said STEEI, it wouldn't bother me 1 bit. Seriously, no one is ever going to see it the and I wouldn't either unless I was inspecting the back of the watch

This is considered a super rep
Is it worth doing any mods , like luming hands and dial
and of course waterproofing?

Guys, do you start to see at approximately 23:30 the tail of the next date or does your date changes exactly in one moment at 23:55? Think that something is with my movement cause the date doesn't move to the next one when approaching 00:00

Beware lol, now ZF makes them with a small mistake in STEEL (letter L is smaller). Puretime confirmed.
What a small pity, hope in the new batches it will be correct :(
