looks like its also on the gen (pics taken from Instagram)
@ Lagunax two different 1 fonts on datewheel in genuine 1 and 11 are different from all other instances where 1 appears on datewheel in genuine
The lume appears not as dark as gen, though algih72's pics look darker than intime's.
This is not a very good side by side as I think the color is washed out on the REP and on the GEN the lume and indice color looks enhanced ...But for now its all we have. Hoping mine arrives next week
If you look at this video it shows without any photoshop or filters so it gives a better idea

This is like for like with ZF. I'll edit my post to reflect that as well. Thanks for posting this it gives me a lot of reassurance haha.
Its a really nice watch, i don't think you'll be disappointed

I would have liked to purchase one of these if they did a good job. But the deco plates on this movement are horrendous.
Maybe another factory will give this model a shot and do a better job.
Can someone post a comparison of the deco plates of gen vs rep of zf. Everyone says its bad but for noobs its difficult to catch

the deco plates don't even cover or match the shape of the parts of the actual underlying movement.
100% Garbage and 100% unacceptable, especially at anywhere close to this price.
No Thanks. Hard Pass.

Just got this in last week. I really enjoy this watch a LOT. More than I thought I would for how thick it is. The strap feels thin when you first hold the watch, but on the wrist it feels great. A wonderful tool watch for my collection. I'm not a huge fan of the date font in the teens and twenties but that's on gen too I suppose.

Thanks for sharing next to the Aquanaut, really gives a sense of scale for this piece, which is far more wearable for those with smaller wrists.
Just received the watch this morning and wore it since then.
The major thing is that the watch is tiny. Like it looks like a mini-watch. The strap is amazing soft, but very short as well, similar to the OG FF made by ZF.
The quality is amazing though, and absolutely gorgeous.
