That’s very odd. The case lugs look different and the dial markers are for sure different. I wonder if they are having difficulty sourcing parts!
What is the serial number on the case lug bud?

I'll check serial later today ... I blew QC anyway on the dial smudge thinking it was dirt so need to prob source a new one anyway

Just seen a post higher up of another guy noticing the ‘5’ was wrong and it is indeed wrong.
You have an ORf bracelet but everything else about the watch looks wrong to me.

I had multiple discounts to burn up w them. I usually use Trusty ... For what I actually paid for this, I'm not upset. And considering the raids maybe this is where ORF is now headed if others come in the same

Fair enough. I do feel for anyone who doesn’t get what they ordered though.
Times are changing in China and the rep world so who knows what’s to come in our hobby!

Also the lume dots looks flat on that one, or maybe just the pics.

Replisimio hows the rubber strap on these ORFs? Same softness as the other rep rubber straps we get from the TDs? Is the colour good as well? Sorry if you’ve mentioned this already.

The straps are nice and soft and seem very much like the gen I had last year on a tt version I had. Also they fit without all the bending springbars and messing about like VSF do. They actually fit to a VSF too. The blue looks the same as VSF but appears lighter compared to the darker blue of the ORF dial and insert!

Replisimio I bought my strap long after I purchased my VSF, and I chose the darker of two options available. It is quite a bit darker than the VSF bezel and dial. Not sure if gen is perfectly matching though. Would you say the ORF’s blue is matching the strap’s blue?

Sadly you don’t have an ORF case or movement buddy. All OrF have the same number. 82050098 stamped on lugs and movement.

So I went back to the TD and relayed the differences and they are claiming they spoke to the factory about it ... And ORF confirmed that it is "their watch" and that this batch has differences and cannot guarantee a return to previous versions (sounds like the raids had an impact)

Sounds like they are scavenging for parts. What a shame!
