I know we cant expect too much from repmakers... but sometimes i really think they are kidding with us 
the repgame is sooo frustrating :/ its nothing that cant be changed even in the next batch , i mean cmon to correct the print on the datediscs or dials is not that hard . And tbh i cant believe that they produce millions of parts and need to use them first before they can make new one .

View attachment 81379 Don not hold out if you are thinking of getting one. No one will know when it’s on the wrist, put on a gen strap and away you go.
Here is mine just received

Depends on the condition (of course), but yes, that might be an option. However no XL length, I suppose?

So, just to get that topic up again, is anyone aware if there is anything in the pipeline regarding any improvements? Yes, a lot of "anys" in that sentence...
I caved and bought this and I am so glad I did. As beautiful as this watch is on the photos it is even more beautiful in the flesh! I slapped on a Jacob Alligator strap and it is good to go.

Despite of the still existing flaws I am still unsure. The blue one is awesome, but maybe a bit too... showy, the clear white face seems more dressy. Unfortunately they don't build the one I would like most: White/cream dial with RG hands, similar to the 5007. What a dilemma!
Yes I kind of agree, the blue dial is a bit showy! I knew that when ordering and was happy to have one big showy watch... the 3714 is perfect for me for all other occasions...
On a side note, I always thought the 5035 was the same size as the 5007, but when I spoke to my TD about it he mentioned that it was 44mm. So blue dial plus 44mm is definitely showy lol
The white dial and hold hands would be awesome! Does that exist in gen?

Nope, the gen does not come this way either. But I would not mind purchasing such a phantasy rep.
It looks like I'm 3 years late to this party, but...
... it seems like YLF and ZF updated their versions of this watch. The version selling on trusty seem to have the issues regarding the back movement engraving corrected. It looks like they have corrected ‘Internation Watch BR.’ to International Watch Co., ‘Swiss Tech’ to Swiss Made’ and ‘Scafubia’ to Scafusia. That black wheel that connects with nothing is still there, though.

Has anyone bought this watch recently? Any issues with this newer version?

I've had the blue dial ZF version for about 3 months now and it has been working beautifully. Power reserve is about 4 days
