They are full of shit. They say the strap material is rubber while there is a canvas on it lol. So that sizing is off aswell

That's floating around on a few non TD websites. The FC pattern on a lot of them looks pretty good. Hopefully some of the sought after models can start to be equipped with this soon

For sure it‘s floating around, that‘s part of the hobby. And we all know that dh gate is not a TD. For the PSG edition of the 35-01 has not appeared here so far ASIK (and it‘s one of my favourites), I thought I‘d post some pics here.

From the pictures, the carbon looks to be improved but still not as good as the mods. I did notice they reduced the size of the holes on the strap, which is closer to gen. I know this is a small detail haha.
Case shape is better, more curved and the holes for the bezel screws are smaller. Over all a step in the right direction - lets wait what the description tells us about the maker and the price of course.
Case finish - midcase, crown and crystal all look half decent with space for improvement as always.

Seriously? Is this what we’ve all been waiting for all this time?! Talk about anti climatic!!
Case shape is a definite improvement over KVF and other, but noting else is really changed or improved. Still too thick, still not carbon mid case, still not carbon crown, still really fake looking movement deco and STILL RED JEWEL?!?
Not impressed... maybe one of these with ABD mods would be passable!

Is this REALLY Z-Factory that we all know? Puretime lists it as 'Z' and (can't believe I'm saying this) the price looks a little too low to be from a mainstream huge factory like ZF.

You're Saying I Can Sell?
The price is very attractive, the carbon does look better than the KVF version. I like that they seam to give you two colour variations on the same sale and a little tool to change them out. But as others have said.. still not the best I’ve seen and I’m not sure this is Z factory either.. it’s still too thick, the case doesn’t look right no ridges. The crown does look to be a little bit improved. Shame as I would have bought a good rep in seconds but this is a no from me. It’s still a lot for a pretty shell and non working decorative plates.
The best one I have seen appeared heavily on Instagram recently.. no word on factory as he said it’s hand made. But case, carbon & thickness all look the best.

The one legend eta are selling is the recent Z Factory release but with custom carbon bezel and crown by ABD (al black designs, who also have their own insta page). I’ve yet to get a price direct from ABD but I doubt it is anywhere close to the $1,000 + figure that legend eta are quoting!!!
For what it’s worth, I never liked the ridges on the case of the KVF, I know they were trying to make it look like carbon layers, but why not just make the case carbon for real?!? AP reps have been available in carbon for years now, it’s hardly new!!!

I'll wait and see if any TDs will get one with the carbon crown. As of now I'm not impressed enough to pull the trigger.
