Sorry to hear mate. Mine has been stuck at "Baiyun,Guangzhou,China, Depart from facility to service provider." for a week. I usually don't mind waiting but this one is a birthday present and will apparently arrive late. But hey better late than never I guess ;)

Getting out of China is extremely slow at this point in time. Mine has been sitting in China waiting to get on a plane since April 9th.

It should be getting better now as more air cargo capacity has become to market. More passenger aircrafts doing cargo runs and now they're even removing seats as well to accommodate more cargo on these flights. At this point I would avoid the express carriers like UPS, DHL and etc. I have UPS shipments stuck in China for a month (200 kg shipments so you're paying a lot for nothing).

I own a freight forwarding company and we're doing lot of air freight form China so I know quite well what's going on there.

Shanghai airport has inbound trucks waiting for 2 to 3 days to unload the shipments and the trucking companies are switching the overworked drivers using motorcycles in the queues. Check this to get a better idea - https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020...-equipment-backlog-china-200430120452426.html

It's all due to the masks.

It's more understandable that my watch hasnt moved from 19 april.. (Guangzhou airport)

But I ordered mask from china 2 times last month, and it took 15 days to come to france .. still little bit weird

So piecing all this info together, i'm thinking about doing a build:
  1. Noob Case v10 or v9? (This would fix the CG issue and the horrible ZZF double Xx rehault right?)
  2. ARF Bracelet/clasp (Already have one in stock)
  3. ZZF Dial + Hands
  4. ZZF VR movement + crown
  5. Gen crystal
Is there anything i'm missing or misunderstood.

Also is it possible to take the ZZF movement + dial and just pop it over in the Noob case, or is that a difficult job?

Why not to stick with zzf case and half bracelet including SELs because zzf have best SELs to lugs

Since you're at it, swap over bezel as well. ZZ have their teeth too sharp.
Not sure which will be more cost effective, to get V10 complete plus individual parts or get two complete watch for mixing.

I like the ZZF case, and i don't think the CG are that bad, but i can't live with the Xx rehault. And from what i understand, the rehault follows the case right?

yes the dial is really fantastic ... I think that only the gen crystal is essential and if you want to be scrupulous, change the case with a noob v10! Bracelet is ok

I will change to GMf dial for better sunburst but first I need to see in RL side by side. I never saw the zzf that black. Never on mine
