So received my watch. I think its defect. Hear the sound it makes.

Also just got it home.

That does NOT sound good! Mine also does not sound good but yours is really not good!

Also says 'v2' on the box.. I dunno if that is just old boxes or if I did get a 'v2' :LOL: but it does look good indeed

Damn that’s bad man. Some people told me it look’s like a loose rotor and maybe have it fixed to a watch store

On a second thought and a little testing, I think mine makes close to the same sound

This watch has some sounds but this doesn't sound correctly. Probably the rotor is loose or fallen. Please check with a watchsmith first if possible, It should be an easy fix. If can't fixed, please email us for further assistance, Thank you

Wow you ordered v3 and received v2… what will you do? Im sending mine back to them to fix the rotor and I expect them to give me some kind of credit for the shipping fees of 100$ this will cost me.
We shouldn’t be dealing with this kind of stuff and pay from our pockets.

Watch looks good but this is kind of annoying(images) + the box says 'V2'.
It has nothing to do with the paper box. Most of the paper box here are marked on it with v2 label. You have to judge the watch whether it's v2 or v3, not judging from the paper box.

And here In China, for the v3 model factory label it v2 , v2 is called v1 by us. It's just called differently in and out of China.

In the local chinese market the "V3" with the 4302 is known as the "V2". Please don't slander a TD. If he actually recieved the V2 with the Miyota then it would a problem.

And it sucks that you have a broken rotor, but it's part of the rep game. Shit goes wrong sometimes. Just gotta accept it if you want to play. "Sometimes shit goes wrong".

If you want to minimize this then just buy reps with A2824, M9015, A2836, movements.

Out of the 30+ reps I have, around 6 have had problems. 4130, 3235, 3135. It's hit or miss. It's normal. These are toys made in poor quality conditions not gen watches.

All cool with the V2 vs V3 labels. But I am mostly annoyed by the poor cutting. Don't know if all ZF APs have them or if this has happened due to transporting(box looked like that when I got it). QC looked good.

Oh well. I can live with it just not going to wear it ;D
