I'm itching to get a blue dialed version too, I would definitely wait for the ZF...My V1 black noob is great, but on the blue version, they missed out the deployment buckle and the flinque pattern underneath the minute track on the dial. Plus the strap appeared a little on the bright side.
Gen blues also have a very nice satiny brushed finish, I have no idea if the noob captured that, as it seems tricky to accurately capture in pics...@mgberns, how does the case finishing compare between your two ?
