I have a few high end gens and still consider the FF among my nicest watches.

There is a "high grade" and a "low grade". Major differences between the two grades seem to be flat screws on low grade vs hex screws on high grade, date wheel close to the center on the low grade and weaker lume. Having said that I believe there are several grades of low grade (ranging from very close to high grade to s..t). Best advice would be to source from a TD and make sure to get the high grade (hex screws, date wheel, lume, etc.).

Thanks for the tips.

I'm usually not into this type of watch but must admit it looks stunning.... Definitely on my to buy list. Are there any other reps coming close to this standard?

Go to the Trusted dealer section. They all carry this. For a first buy I would recommend Puretime only because their communication and process is less confusing
Welcome and happy hunting. One last thought is to follow member sales section. They show up often
