Black dial lacks the 3D grain, paper, sand effect on gen so not a super rep. Crystal could have better AR too. But looks amazing regardless.

Guys could you help me out and tell me , if this is acceptable level of alignment for the 6 marker .
Yeah , Normally I would without hesitation but seems a common thing with these , and it has a good crown.
waited a couple weeks for this one so reluctant to wait again. Hmmm I dont know

I’ve joined the ZF v2 58 club! Arrived today via m2m elsewhere and apart from a slight lume mismatch, I think she’s a beauty! Happy to hear other members thoughts!

Hey,
I'm wondering about the bracelet. On my watch the bracelet is closed and secured only by the outer clasp, the external one. It seems that the ceramic balls on the inside, that are supposed to keep the curved folding part in place does not protrude at all, so the inner part of the clasp just sits there quite loosely.
This is not very satisfying, so I'm wondering what yours looks like? Ideally I could contact my TD to get a replacement for only the small part with the ceramic balls, though if all watches are exactly like mine the chance of TD being able to find a better part is slim. I feel that the bracelet is the weakest link (no pun intended) of this watch, and that the clasp is the most likely point of failure in the future.
I know waiting sucks, but man that is way off. Imagine having this watch for a few years and perhaps being regularly bothered by this flaw knowing that a couple of weeks wait time could've prevented it. Your call, but don't compromise too much.
Well it's been fun while it lasted. V2 purchased in April 2019 is no longer winding by rotor or crown and second hand appears stuck...
An excellent opportunity to swap in a real eta 2824, isnt it?
Would it be a direct swap? Where can I source a swiss eta?

Yes, it should be a direct swap. This guy was selling some new old stock (NOS) swiss ETA 2824 movements for 99 euros shipped, which is a good price, and it looks like he might still have one left: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/watch-parts-and-accessories/8252627-swiss-eta-2824-2-nos
this is good news, thank for the information. i hope some TD as BK, start selling theses with ETA movement, and maybe with an alignment mode.

Guys one question, how loud is the rotator of the movement? I once had a pelagos rep where the rotor was quite loud.
I am looking for a v2 in the eu.
Thanks in advance.

just received some pics. Crown length seems good. 12 o clock Marker is ok. 9o clock marker seems a bit off. Or could that be through the angle and the glas?
