Received this beauty today. I wanted it long ago but ZF's version had few flaws that would indeed bother me like @6 subdial paint intesection with red circle and the chrono not being 60 minutes as per gen. Now V6F launched their version and both of these flaws seem to be corrected. I pulled the trigger.. and voila, here it is in all it's glory.
First impressions are super positive. The watch feels solid. Case construction is spot on. Pushers are titanium as well as the crown (at least looks like it). Secs @6 are a tad jerky but looks the same as from ZF so I suppose it's an updated movement. DW is centered, all chronos reset perfectly. Top counter is indeed 60 minutes and the chrono hand is silky smooth. The strap is rough as hell (was expecting this because Chinese don't know how to do proper canvas/"kevlar" straps...). Buckle is also titanium but says "stainless steel" on the bottom. AR is pretty good and looks spot on to the gen imho. Caseback is really awesome too. Other than that I can't comment on anything else so far. Really well made and I think it beats ZF due to minor improvements here and there + proper chrono (60 mins). DW aligns perfectly and changes exactly at 12.
So to summarize, the positive:
Now a bit of the negative points:

So to summarize, the positive:
- Amazing case construction
- Very good AR (comparing to youtube videos of the gen)
- Titanium parts as per gen
- 60 minute chrono counter @12
- Overall feel is impressive
Now a bit of the negative points:
- A bit jerky secs@6 (but this is expected.. plus it's miles better than the previous generation of movements).
- Strap is utter shit
- -------- UPDATE: after all it's SS as per gen -------- Buckle seem titanium but says "Stainless steel" on the bottom.
- Too damn pretty so I can't stop looking at it.
