So if your local bar is populated by watch experts with highly specialised knowledge of VC dials a x10 loupe and super hearing, leave the watch at home. otherwise you are good to go.

My razionale was the same as stoyania, then I got hold of one and realised I could barely even see the time let alone the pattern.

Gorgeous, not usually a fan of rubber straps but it looks amazing on this

Hi Guys, so I went ahead and bought the JJF version from Chazingtime... purchased on Feb 14th and received it yesterday! Will send more photos later if anyone is interested, but my main comment is the rubber strap. It's good quality (feels just like any italian rubber, doesn't attract dust). However, the clasp seems to be very pointy. I was sizing it and was wearing it a bit tight... literally for just 30 minutes. Afterwards, I swapped to a looser setting, and I can already see this cut marks into the rubber strap from the pointy edges of the clasp.

Has anyone else experienced this? Here's a pic:

Unfortunately I can’t help you with your query but would love to see some new photos... seeing as the newer dual time is not accurate this is suddenly on my radar.

Kinda weird to me that normal use would result in the buckle digging into the strap at that angle, i've been wearing mine for a few weeks just fine. Maybe feel around the bottom with your finger to see if there's any badly sanded bits, and sand it down if you find anything?

I bought what I thought to be a gen white dial, but it's for the 34mm ladies version.... However, the JJF dial is great. My dial has some imperfections (which I thought wouldn't be a big deal because I had gen), so now I've ordered a replacement dial. However, the watch is SO GOOD. It's like a white dial Aquanaut.

Yeah it is definitely the points being too sharped. I sanded them and it is fine now, but that doesn't make the marks in the strap go away :(

And when I contacted Chazingtime right away, he just brushed me off like he never heard of the issue and told me to ask the forums if anyone else had that issue. I would have thought post-sales service would be a bit better, especially since it was just the strap. How hard to offer to send a replacement? Like 10 RMB??
