Interesting. Checked mine, works well. Maybe a service is in order?

Thanks, the stutter isn't terrible and the watch is indeed impressive, really like it. I decided however to do the sharpie mod on the bezel numbers and now it looks great. Didn't like that under certain lighting, the numbers on the bezel didn't really stood out.

Checked out your pic again - if it was done on when you took it, I have to say hell of an impressive job - looks really subtle.

I took a sharpie marker, silver color, and then fill out all the engravings on the bezel. Let it sit for a minute or to for the paint to dry and then remove excess with a q-tip. If you think the bezel lost some shininess from excess paint, the next day you can use just a little bit of car wax and polish the bezel in a circular motion with cotton. I did that a day later to let the paint on the engravings be fully dry and not easily removed by the wax.

Has anyone done a strip down of the movement?

This is a new clone movement, as I understand it, but does anyone know how reliable it would be given it hasn't stood the test of time yet?

Are the lume on the markers applied with Superlume?

The description on the TD websites don't state it's Superlume.

Weird cause XF have access to Superlume as I understsnd it.

I just got mine..no super lume, movement so far has been great, chrono pushers are pretty smooth, fit and finish is nuts. I swapped the braclwt for the band and the tolerances are better then a Bentlys panel gap!

Super happy with this one

Mine arrived today, everything works like it should and the chrono feels solid (won't be using much though).
To say I'm over the moon would be an understatement I love this watch!

I might do the sharpie mod as the bezel is indeed a bit dull

It might be a bit but it's so minimal I wouldn't worry about it. At wrist distance you won't notice it, I would take it

Mine had a three o'clock marker like that one, but I was afraid if I RL, would get something worse in exchange. I accepted and couldn't really be happier. Not really noticeable.

Thank you for your interest. Before you wrote, I asked for another copy. The next one has no problem with markers.
