I've finally received my 28mm AF Tank Solo from TS-Watch. I had a bit of trouble (as with other dealers) paying with CC but I finally could place my order. They should really try to make things simpler if they accept CC, I think I placed about 3-4 orders until I could pay for it and I gave up with other vendors.
Anyway.
I'm actually pleased with the transaction, the package arrived save and sound in less than a week via DHL (I'm in Europe). I received preshipping pics and communication was good.
As others stated here, the pics on these websites are greatly magnified, the watch is actually very small. I've noticed that the cabochon is still somewhat pointier than the real thing (similar to the ZF version), but again, on the wrist and due to its small size, I don't think it'll be too much noticeable. Roman numbers are thick and shine with direct light.
I had a real hard time trying to figure out how to mount the straps. The quality of the strap is kinda meh, but the croc print is actually better (based on pics) than the ZF. The leather?? (it doesn't smell like leather nor plastic) is shinier and it looks pretty good, but after struggling for more than 15 minutes to get them into the clasp and adjusting length, they had some indentations already. I'm planning to buy a couple of ZicZac leather straps with zero padding or else I'll have to throw them away, the strap is paper thin (but sturdy) and I had troubles to pass it through the clasp.
Obviously I don't have and I'm not planning to buy the ZF model so I can actually compare them side by side. I'm using imgur for pics but it looks like it doesn't work. Let me know where I can upload the pictures if you want to see them.
