To my terrible disappointment, the bracelet is of a really bad quality.
Yesterday evening i screwed the screws on the bracelet very tight and today i caught the watch head falling from my wrist, turns i lost 3 screws somewhere outside which makes them lost forever, i had to take out the screws from the other links which i saved but i have no more screws now and i guess they will also be falling shortly, in that case all what will be left to do is throw it to the rubbish
What a pity, 170 usd for a bracelet which does not even fit my watch head without hammering it and that starts losing screws as soon as i am wearing it,
Imho not worth it.

Chemicalz Damn, sorry to hear this, I'd just seen you pics of the "modded" bracelet on the blue FF and was really impressed with what you'd achieved....

Wonder how Polonius and CiPhEr are getting on with theirs...?

It looked good indeed but it turned out to be unwearable, I lost so many screws that i cant use it anymore
Stay away from this bracelet version.

Some of my screws fell out before I had a chance to tighten them. Anyone know what size they are or had any luck with getting them from a TD?I contacted InTime but it seems as though they are out of commission for a few weeks due to a water pipe bursting.

Came here hoping to be convinced to get the ZF bracelet for my Noob v1. Thought ZF had turned things around with the newer releases but screws falling off, unfortunate.

can't tell to be honest, overall it looks pretty good... Which rep is this, ZF ?

You have to love this watch, just not a fan of the SS bracelet. i have the v1 with a vintage ammo strap(229 usd) from The Strapsmith. Very, very nice combo. Later today I am putting it on sale cause I have to many watches. Can't resist them ;)

That’s making me want one now. Sels look way better fitting than release examples!
