I've got a problem : the red hand of the watch is moving slower than the hour hand, they are desynchronised, has someone the same issue?

It should move at half the rate. The red hand is the GMT hand. It tells the time on a 24 hour function as per the numbers on the bezel. You set the bezel according to your time zone. The GMT does one full rotation every 24 hours

Is it possible to fix this? Other movement?

No guys it's my fault the red hand is working well, i didn't know that the red hand had to work 75% slower due to the 24hours base.

So my QC pics everything looks fine except the bezel seems to be seated slightly off. Does anyone know how difficult / easy this bezel can be popped out and re seated? Or does it hold stead at a half click?

The bezel insert is just a prototype, I think ZF will really put it together well. It's a beautiful timepiece and if repped well, ZF has the market.

Make sure to check out my post guys. I make a very deep, personal feeling rep vs gen comparison.
You can find right in the tudor section

I'm not sure, but would have an eta 2893 chs? The exchange should not be a big problem if the ZF is worth it.

I thought if you exchange the A 2836 (ICHS) for the ETA 2893 you get CHS. But then the arrangement is the same in both movements.

Theyre essentially the same movement so no. ETA is just swiss made and the A is the asian copy. There are replica rolex gmt movments that have the CHS but they are not great movements from what I understand and then there's a whole other difficulty of getting it to fit in the BB.
