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! ;)

Cheers!
How long did it take for your td to source the bracelet? PT is taking about two weeks, or you took the whole watch?
Your blue is a ZF? It has a totally different shade from mine above your post, when did you buy it?

My TD gave me some "maybe, you know..." for a day and then got it in two days! He is good!
I got the full set - the watch is "old ZF stock" (I guess), but it's combined with new ZF rep X71 bracelet.
as for "when" it came yesterday (shipped Sunday - yes, he is fast).

the "shade" is probably the lighting... Many people complained about bezel on ZF being too dark (judging by the pictures on websites) - I tried to catch an angle where you can see the color of the bezel if fine. "in person" it looks great. Love this watch!

You mean he sourced the watch head and the bracelet put them together and sold it to you as a whole?

And about the bezel it was discussed often, GEN has different batches as well with different shades of blue, for example:

They all look like different watches,
I'd say the last one is the one ZF repped

right. Plus, looking at my ZF rep - with different angle and under different light - the dial is pretty much the same, but the bezel changes its color a bit - sometimes it looks darker, almost black, and sometimes very light blue...

Cheers!
