Introduction + ZF BB58 39mm

[suchy]

Hello dear forum,
My first proper replica, my first post here. Wanted to say hi and just introduce myself. Might buy gen soon, I’m gonna for sure make a comparison if that happens. I know there’s one ZF vs GEN already, but maybe they changed something. And I’m gonna cover every little detail. We will see, for now just wanted to say hi, grateful to be here.

I just picked up the blue version myself, makes me want a gen but the rep is so good I might just throw a Swiss movement in there and call it a day

Im super excited about the black bay 68 (gen) that just came out, because 42mm is generally my preferable minimum size. And @suchy welcome!!

It will be good to probably do a new updated review with your comparison against Genuine.

Nice!

If I buy a GEN then I’m gonna for sure do it. And I like it so much then it’s high probability it’s gonna happen. I just probably need 2 to 3 month for that purchase because I’m finishing that house job

Hello dear Feefo, thanks for that warm introduction. I already read most of notes for new members, all that information is very useful. Thank you

Interesting idea, if you know what size movement, what movements in general would fit then you can send me a dm. Sounds like a fun idea!

Thank you for the welcoming

It’ll be an A2824. So a genuine ETA2824 or a Sellita will fit and take the same hands. The A2824 could technically be ok for years though, but worth swapping out if it ever craps out and you want to keep it
