Well, all I think is we've seen some improvements from ZF.

No factory has ever gotten a first release of anything right ever. Rarely even gen factories get a perfect release out the gate.

Every month we inch closer to getting a good model.

How can print on a flat surface be so lifeless and flat?
What is this, 2019 noob V1?

It's not an improvement at all.

ZF dial was a lot better in the bezel and the print and that thing was the worst shit I've ever seen. So that says a lot about this.

Well, I think you and I have different standards for replicas. That's ok. What's acceptable to one may not be acceptable to the other. We all can have different opinions. For me, "if I can't notice it on wrist, it's really not that big of a deal". Blown up photos means we can all nitpick everything to death.

It’s not perfect, but it’s not shit either. It’s probably closer than Noob or ARF ever got / so any Daytona rep before BTF and Clean V2 showed up early last year. And so it will scratch an itch for a lot of people.
I still prefer the older reference though so not really bothered.

Sure. But for the 2024 standard it´s a mid tier for a high tier price. I guess nobody here would have problems with this model if it costs 500 bucks, but 850 is way too much for the given quality.

Yeah, 900 with shipping is a lot of change…

I’m happy to wait. This new one still looks like a Parnis to my eyes, and the LeMans is the one I would go for if I ever come round to it.

Oh yes! But I think we will have to wait, since the 24h subdial will be the next challenge for the factories ;-)
I don't think it'll ever be done by the factories, maybe a modder.. :ROFLMAO:

Ah I forgot about that. Hopefully just changing a couple of wheels. But to be honest, I don’t care much - people who run their chrono all the time are usually perverts.

I still haven’t ran the chrono on my BTF in case the movement shits itself!

@Storm. bro you act like a kid, you siriously become like a reddit guy
Yes. Clean is much better than BTF, I'm sorry. You're happy now?😂

It's shit and you know it. Just wait for the real releases and let's not jump into OMG it's so great again like with the ZF 116500s.

Brother fully with you. But 3d print is always noticable. Hands that have rough cuts are always noticable.

It's a low tier for the price for a BTF and CF.
I really like your macro-nitpicking. What a shame you have no scanning electron microscope.
I do. How do you think I find myself down there?
