...but the gear train, the PR system and the main plate are completely different and independently from standard movements.

But: how often did you face a defect in the gear train or the main plate? OK, the PR system can lead to problems, so it would be great to source parts for the PR system.

This new movement also called "Liaoning Peacock SL6601". On WUS there is a project currently running to use the same movement but yet to find the reliability of the movements. Hope there will be more reviews on how the movement perform in the future when the mass market pick up this new movement.

Is there an easyfix for the crooked number 1? One that does not scratch the dial? My watchmaker told me that if he moved the number, the hole behind it would appear.

I've had my eye on this rep ever since it was released. About to put a few other reps up for sale to fund this. It looks like a perfect rep, but what's the consensus on the actual quality?

post #3848 and onwards may be worth a read. Many members have received excellent quality watches with no problems - others have had numerous quality control issues. Best read as much as you can then you decide whether this watch is worth "a punt". Personally the Ardoise dial on rose gold is one of my all time favourites and I've almost persuaded myself to get one (but may wait until reports of better quality one's being received).

That is actually a ZF v1, only main differences are the movement. Since nobody looks at my movements while it's on my wrist, fit me v1 is fine, of course when I bought all mine, v1 was the only option. But I would say just grab a ZF whichever version you can find [emoji2]

Thanks for input buddy. Im really new to this and try my best to read and understand about the 5001. I saw every ZF model stick with 5007 code while YL stick with 5001. I digged up and found this 5007 V2, could you check it out ? http://puretime01.com/portuguese-re...edition-on-brown-leather-strap-a52010-v2.html

Clasp is different also.

On the latest movement, as found in ZF v3, does the little black ceramic gear do anything? Or is it an aesthetic-only dummy gear?
