Hi All,

New member in here based in Essex, UK. Have been reading this site for a couple of weeks, after seeing a YouTube video comparing Gen vs. Replica Submariners.

Almost ordered from a dodgy site 'Solid Swiss' upon checking on the internet for verification, it led me here for which I'm grateful.

So upon reading until my eye's bled I pulled the plug on a ZZF R2 No Date from Jtime / Li. Ordered on 13th May arrived today (21st May) all very smooth and I think I've been quite lucky tbh.

Love the watch, and cant believe how insignificant some of the inaccuracies are when on the wrist. After agreeing the QC pictures I was then concerned about the rehaut not lining up, it doesn't around the 4 O'clock and 8 positions, but I can't really see it with the naked eye! (I might need glasses)

Great site with some brilliant contributions and insight. Just go easy on the new guys!

Congrats on the watch. Don't let the rehaut enraging bother you, it's impossible to spot unless you pull out a loupe and I've seen some gens that have a misaligned rehaut where RSC claimed it is within spec and didn't realign it.

Thanks - appreciate the comment. Keeping good time so far as well!
