Hello everybody,
I'm a brand new member of this forum. Excuse-me for my poor english...
I'm looking for a Blancpain FF Black TI and as far as i know, looking around this forum, it seems like the ZF rep is the best one.
I saw a ZF that seems to correspond to this. Ref BLP061 on Trustytime.asia. But what about the automatic mecanism? Is it really reliable?
I'm looking forward a great rep whatever the price and hope any good advices to get it.
I've already been adviced by a friend of mine that SEAD was a great TD. How do you get his email?
Many thanks in advance.

What is 2836 actually. Sorry but i'm not familiar with alof this... I thougt it was Asia23J all about. I've got a friend who mends watch as a pro but always telling me he's anable to find spare pieces for all these new clone mechanisms. So, i'm not really inclined to order a 700 dollar watch that i can't mend! is it possible to buy only a A23J or A4130 mechanismonly for spare pieces or is it easy to order spare pieces for those mecha prior in EU?
I've got the same problem with A4130 for a daytona 116509 noob. My collegue only manage to find spares of former A7750...
How do you proceed and why this is not a big deal for you guys?

Asian copy of ETA 2836

Very reliable, easy to service or replace

Thank you for your anwser, i feel more confortable. ????
I saw un Blancpain FF with A23J movement and another one from ZF as well with 2836. Do you mean, i’d better pick the 2836 equiped watch then? Or the A23J is simply an evolution and could be easily fixed or replaced top?
