All the ZF BB 58s are suffering from 12, 3, 6, 9 marker alignment. Yours looks minimal to me. You won’t notice it on the wrist.

The orange underlay you mention looks to be a trick of the light.

Here’s are a couple of shots of mine.

How long have you had it? Are the indices attached with glue for an easy fix?

Really sad for you, maybe it's an easy fix, remove crown, get the whole assembly out, glue it like Rolorin said and set everything back into the case.

Yes, i know, ill take it to a watchsmith during the week. Its just sad how zf makes such great watches, but all of them i recieve have something like a crooked marker, or something like this happens. I would definitely pay a little more for their watches if they made a better quality control process.

Can't agree more with you!
I wanted to buy it along a pepsi gmt but thoses issues burned my envy to pass my order :'(, even wondering to go gen instead since they are "affordable".

Ugh, each time I’m about to buy one, I see something like that happen. I like my ARF Sub, but I’m looking to get into something a little smaller.

With all the poor quality issues with ZF i was wondering if XF factory will some time produce this BB58 like they did Bucherer bronze?

This is the reason why I bought the real deal, 3150e I know it's a good preise and it's brand new, if you want some pics will be happy to share.

Best of luck, still thinking to buy a rep also...

Welcome to the crew!
Maybe it's some isolated batch that are faulty? maybe not.. would be interesting to know the purchase date range/TD for see if it's a faulty batch.
We just need more feedback from the current owner.

uszilard you got it right my fella, hope you're enjoying your baby, i'm wondering about it too, crawling c24 since few days. Feel free to post some pics for compare with the rep if you want.
