3k have the end links too long on the bracelet. They extend beyond the lugs whereas gen doesn’t. A shame as I was about to buy this one! Hands dont match either. I’ll wait for the v3!

Just ordered the 3K, will post once received as I don't see any wrist shots here ????

This we’re all waiting QC, we picked the wrong time to order when it’s CNY so unlikely we will get QC before 10th Feb I reckon!!

Discussed flaws aside, that's a really nice looking watch

On mine date change starts at 23h15. It changes slowly and instant flips at 23h55

That's actually not bad IMO. It could've been worse. The gen starts 10 min before and instant flip at 00.00. Great looking watch. Wear it in good health mate.

jvevermind looks great!
that date font does not look bad at all. gen is slightly bolder but we go to ask ourselves if its worth the effort to mod when it looks so good OTB

That's right I forgot about that. TD didn't give me a heads up! Should've known...

Yes you can mate :) look at the engravings on the balance cock. And then look at the rest. Clear difference in deepness and color.
You can see but most of the time you are not going to mention about the printed movement from a wrist distance as the words are too small

Beside the fact that I see the lume too green, but maybe it's only cause of the pic....can you let us know if this is really worth more than a ZF in terms of quality built? I mean, both movement are tell, the Miyota and this one too cause of its finish and lack of engraving.....Ok, there's no 5 flaw..but the main differences? quality built? bracelet? clasp?

Okay. I will say like this. Ive never handled a ZF before so i cant compare about the quality wise. But the finishing of the movement is stunning and its surely better than ZF and PPF. The thickness is thin at 8.2mm. The strap surely doesnt have the best quality but it is not bad.
DW seems to be thinner than gen. Never handled a gen so im not sure about that
Sunburst is beautiful. Compare with pictures on internet it looks really gen like
