The thing I noticed immediately is this dial has sunburst. No lume mismatch. The bracelet looks better although maybe chamfer is a tad bit aggressive.

It might be superior to the ZF model.

That's pretty nice, even though a press photo is as misleading as it gets. Deffo wanna know and see more
One thing I noticed is the crown tube sticks out like a sore thumb, even more so than regular ZF lol

Shaving down the crown tube should be a pretty easy fix though, no? Considering the mods we've seen on the ZF.

The initial chinese comparison pictures, when i google translate, seem to suggest this is directly comparing against ZF's model? (Explicitly calling out their wrong pip, the lume on the hands, etc). 🍿🍿🍿🍿.

Do we know if this is available, yet? Or is it only marketing right now?

Assuming nothing wrong with/the rest of the watch up to ZF standards, seems like this solves every issue/tell on the ZF. Really excited to see QCs/impressions bc I was considering just buying the gen, but if this delivers, immediate buy 💯

I was planning on guinea pigging this but i asked my non-TD that i usually use how much and they quoted me 1700rmb. Considering that price point, I'm guessing must be garbage.
