Remove the 'Retrieve file remotely'.

This always works for me. Not sure of the stability of the direct add feature.

Bit of a weird question, I managed to unscrew the strap lug screws and remove the default red strap. However I can't seem to get them to go into the case and new strap so I can screw them in.

They go into the case by itself just fine, and the new strap by itself just fine, but not both.

I have the same problem with trying to reattach the old strap, so I'm at a bit of a loss. Any thoughts?

Heres a pic of the watch on a black strap. https://ibb.co/sFLkm2x

After having the watch for a day, the only worrying issue I have thus far is if I shake the rotor I notice the second's hand pauses as it spins. It's still keeping time just the second's hand stops as its winding. I also noticed upon setting the time if I go counter-clockwise the second's hand seemed to go backwards. Not sure if its due to it being a moded Seiko or just a quirk. Other than that it's solid.

here's one more to showcase the black strap a bit better.

sounds like it was not quite aligned properly from the factory so it went out of sync when you removed the strap to swap it. I could be wrong but you may have to play around with the alignment. I hope you get a solution.

Modded in what way? thought it was just a plain Seiko lol

modded for the decoration

 

[SuperLory]

the miyota 8215 i had in all the previous RM was a bit like that tbh

modded for the decoration

the deco is just a fake plate on top of the movement, i dont think the movement itself is modded for something.

I like the color combi. Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

A TD who is close to ZF said that ZF has stopped production of this RM35 due to a having to adjust a few details because it is not quite right. This "v1" isn't available from ZF directly any more and will potentially be made into a v2 after CNY. I reached out to a few TDs and was told the RM35 was no longer available, and I heard this from one of the TDs.

Okay that's unfortunate. I just ordered mine and he said it was in stock. Normally he sends me the QC within 1-2 days and hasn't done it this time. So maybe it's true. I will ask him and let you know.

Were you going to order one as well?

Yeah I asked around to the TDs who accept paypal because Tim/Watchfinder/Fatpanda said he couldn't get it. Li from Jtime told me this info and said he used to be able to get it but not any longer.

Okay. I asked Tim too he said he'll check and hasn't answered. So that must be why. Josh from PC said he can't get it because ZF doesn't make it, he was of the impression that only KVF make it. Lastly i ordered it from Andrew (Trusty). He said it's available. I've asked him if he could source it.

Mercedesslr Mate, who did you get your ZF 035 02 from? You just got it this week. Did you hear anything about it not being produced anymore.

 

[_DC_]

Starting to be pretty glad I got mine when I did!!! Although it would be good to see a V2 come out with improvements!!
