No, I bought it from a 3rd party here In China, the plan was to have the old one fitted with it, but it didn't work, and then the ZF 5164 popped up! didn't even cut the black strap, went directly on this!

Based on this pic, it should be around the 6 pm/am mark, not sure how long it takes to fully go from night to day on gen, on this replica is around 2 hrs to fully transition

I guess we will have to wait until more ppl get hold of their watches so we can be sure that all copies are the same (transitioning at 12 am/pm) or if only mine is not accurate

I prefer my ZF, the dial is a big step up from my old one in my opinion, so much so that ill have a hard time using the old one now haha

Awesome! I thought your older model was ZF too. Which factory makes that? By the way, does the 5164 feel larger than your 5167?

My older model was purchase from a dealer claiming it to be a 3K but thickness and movement were off judging from the looks, it seems like my 5167 is the old PPF Aquanaut, so I pretty much got scammed on it. After that experience I always buy through the TD recommended by the forum, I chose trusty, and very gladly so..

it feels pretty much the same when I'm not paying attention or looking at it like, sometimes I totally forget I'm wearing anything, but when I am looking at it, there is definitely more presence. To me it's a massive upgrade in terms of wrist experience

I had my doubts but I'm definitely a fan now. I have a modded PF Aquanaut 5167 that's getting ZF dial right now with the updated date wheel that I'll do a comparison with once it's ready.
