oh boy, same here.Me... still waiting for the rose gold V3s to get released
Dial looks great. Actually the whole watch does. Can't wait to get mine - still in the German postal system. Any day now.It's zfv3 for sure, with improved grey dial and all-in-one rep movement
Just received today. The attention to detail and level of finishing on this watch is insane. This is my fourth or fifth rep and they're all great, but this is particularly impressive. Trying to understand why I would spend tens of thousands on a gen. Of course I know the answer to that, but it's increasingly hard to justify, especially at that level.
Also of note, for anyone interested, the date changes instantly at 00:00 exactly. I don't think I have any gens that do that. And I immediately lolled, when I realised, yet again, that what you can see in photos makes absolutely no difference at all when you look at a watch without a magnifier. That said, I am well on my way to needing reading glasses, so the younger amongst you may be able to see more detail than me

nice! how long did you wait and what color did you get? I've been waiting about a month now for QC for a black.
QC was quick, took about 2 days. They must have had something in stock. Shipping took around two weeks.
Ordered a grey one. Went back and forth but I have a couple of watches with black faces and am trying to collect different ones. Don't have anything in Grey. Almost went with blue, but have a blue Seamaster 300M. Does look nice though.

Would love to see some pics of the Grey dial. How does the tapisserie look in person?

That's what I mean, I can't even focus close enough to see it in real life! I'm not sure I can even tell that the surface is textured (if I didn't already know). I need to have a look in the daytime and, sadly, probably get hold of some reading glasses.
As soon as my screwdrivers arrive and I can resize the bracelet, I'll take some outdoor shots in decent lighting and post them. Or maybe I'll just do it anyway when the sun comes out.

planning to purchase with JTime as well but Li advised that they are pre-order.Sure thing, here you go
may I please ask how long did you wait before you had your QC pics?
thank you.
Just a few days. Might have got one they happened to have in stock or something. It was quicker than pervious orders from them.

Hard to argue with that for $500. Mesmerising detail up close by ZF.
