Puretime sells them for $153 - but fair warning, my CC transactions have been errored out.
Here is how:
Total $153
Please kindly process the payment of USD153 this link https://puretime.io/custom-order.html/ by adding to cart
QTY as 153 and please leave a note in your message box in check out

"– Payment for one bracelet fromhttps://puretime.io/fifty-fathoms-ss-black-zf-1-1-best-edition-black-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a2836.html "

. You no need to pay more shiping fee by it finally but you have to select free shipping way during this.​
I am not affiliated with them.
Anyone up for a group buy?

Haters gotta hate. Haters gonna hate.

So you don’t see the enormous gaps on the end link fitting on this particular watch???. I was looking out for you as you’ll be disappointed when you get it and that’s the point of QC pics to see such flaws. Oh well fool you! Enjoy it anyway.

I happened to be close to a Blancpain AD (Shanghai, Nanjing W) and tried one on. From this pic of a gen, you can see gaps on the 6 o'clock SEL. Granted my SEL gaps are on both sides but I wonder whether some gens would pass the macro scrutiny common around here.
The watch still has a plastic cover on the face so that is why it looks plasticky.

Trusty can also offer the bracelet for 138 usd now, when i asked him at first he told that ZF didnt want to sell the watch separately, i guess something has changed,
anyway i already bought it with PT, gonna install it on my blue FF
Anyone will do the same?

Would like to see comparison when someone gets one of these to the best version (noob v1) that used to be available but now not anymore.

here is the custom order (thanks to my best TD out there) of the ZF textured blue (with the right Guilloche pattern at the rim of the dial, compared to fucked up Noob "flat" outer part of the dial) on this new X71 bracelet rep.
The V2 is all polished... Not sure if I saw that polished version on Blancpain site... But the version of this satin (brushed) case with blue textured dial (on the bracelet) was reviewed on Youtube - 1:1 match! ;)

...and most important part - that ZF version was bashed for too dark bezel (compared to Noob)... It's the matter of the lighting and the angle - as you can see, the bezel is perfect dark blue color (matching the dial)! This is the ZF's older FF with new X71 bracelet (custom order, with best TD)! Love this watch!

PS: if anybody wonders - the TD is Kevin from kuvarsit03.com - WhatsApp this guy - he is the best ;)
