The new QCs came very fast!
I gave them a „GO“ now - despite the not centered date. I hope it can be fixed by my watchsmith. ;-)

To those purchasing from geektime, can you link to the video/gif clip of the watch in motion?

Dealer told me to wait till 15th (today). I just contacted him and he said the factory hasn’t shipped to him yet. Will have to wait few more days unfortunately.

Same here. ZF is open (according to my dealer), but they dont give out the 4500V at the moment. I hope, they are working on the "alignment-problem".

No ideas what that red line is showing.

I would’ve accepted that. Lol.

I ain’t got the same requirements I suppose....it’s just a rep

The red line shows that the whole dial, and the date is rotated by about 25 degrees. Look at the date window compared to the crown. This is a rejection from me too I think!

100% reject for me also- i bought my daughter a £4 watch last week at a market- the dial was straight- if i bought a rotary watch for £100 i expect the dial to be straight- £400 rep- i expect the dial to be very straight

just heard back from my dealer an hour ago; he received VCs from ZF and he’ll send me the QC very soon. I guess the factory started shipping them to dealers.

I’m sure it doesn’t need to be said but please post QC pics once received! Hope to see they’ve fixed some of the issues

It’s taking around 3 weeks at the moment. That’s from when the tracking number goes live on track17 app. Not from when the dealer sends you a pic of the shipping label.

There is often a delay between the dealer printing the tracking label and it being collected by the shipping agent.

When are you counting 33days from

Looks like there are currently some common issues with crooked dials and off-center dates. Just sort of luck of the draw and multiple QCs likely needed to get an acceptable one at this point.

I'm gonna give it a shot. I like the look of these quite a bit.

For the rubber and leather straps on the chocolate dial version - what color should these straps be? Looking online I am finding pictures of the chocolate dial on seemingly both brown and black straps.
