By RWI standards and the experts populating the section you can only wear this watch from date 21-31... all the others ones are not centered.(and this dates only because the windows is filled enough :D )

Haha yeah seriously.

My TD cleaned up the glue behind 9, 7 and 1, so in my review against KMF and V6F, it will be with this exact watch.

Due to the holiday I won't be getting this or the KMF until late next week at the earliest.

Watchfinder (Tim and Dan). Dan is a good watchsmith in his own right, and when they run into significant issues, there is a really good guy they go to as well.

The datewheel is still slightly on left side, that’s an issue to me... I think I will skip this version and wait for the 2nd version :(

once the date hits 20-31, it gets really obvious that it is not centered.

Is it me or does the lume look very green? I know it's supposed to be a little but not to that extent

Colour is supposed to be "lime green", having seen the gen in a few occasions it looks pretty good

The angle and lighting of the photo can make them look off because of shadows. Based on what I've seen, I'm wagering a guess that the ZF I just ordered will have some numbers that are a bit off :(

I have one on order as well. Let's see how it turns up.

I spoke to 3 separate TD's and indeed all of them they've shown me QC pictures of have left centered dates. Some are not so obvious, only a few are 'far left'. But there's no way I'm going to order one because I don't want to piss my TD off rejecting watch after watch.

And yes in Gen version there are some that are left too, but if that was me personally I would return it to the boutique. It's an OCD I can't switch off unfortunately.
