Damn, Hopefully Ryan has a similar sized bag incoming

Dial dot not aligned and bad colour matching with hands...the same problems on baby e bb58

We have to consider, that the crystal is a curved one on the "edges"
So there is from angle to angle an huge optical effect, that the dial looks like not aligned. Same as on the GEN.
This crystal make it look evertime "Not aligned" !

I compared in the past a ZF BB58 with a Tudor BB58 - and the ZF is so close to the GEN, you would not believe this.

@pompompurin I think you can also confirm that curved crystal and the "effect" it makes.

Saw gen through the glass today, looked like color difference between markers and hands is less on gen, but defenitely there if you look for it.

I destinctly remember seeing in one of the early video reviews that hands are blue-ish lume and markers were green, however all marketing material I've seen since has them all green, so maybe I'm confused, I don't know.

Anyways, I'll GL this one, slight misallignments don't bother me (on video I received it's clear there is absolutely nothing dramatic) and pip will fall out and need replacement anyways

wow great sharing, can ask hont to provide measurement tickness of this ZF BB54? Heard there will be diff vs gen

Asked him, will send me a pic tomorrow

I think it’s listed at 11,5 mm which is the same as gen

You should ask for a better pic of the clasp. It looks horrendous in one of the reddit post

tbh, I don't care too much as I plan to wear it with straps and consider getting a gen if prices will be right on a secondary market when they start to pop up, but I don't see the problem on mine

Looks great. Seems the clasp stamping is a controlled issue. Wish I could see if the clasp has the micro adjustment or how it works.

Just saw the clasp on Ryan's ad, wonder if it works like the BBPro. Looks like it.

I think I will RL this. Am I too picky?

It's not misaligned. The lume seems to be applied more to the left than to the right of the triangle.

If it bothers you, RL it.

I wouldn't, honestly.

And please, for your sanity, don't use the damn QC tool.

Let me know once you get bored with it LOL

Dammit, I really want the rubber strap that fits the lug end links like the gen.

Here are my GL’d QC pics. Not perfect by any stretch but perfect for me. Can’t wait to have it in hand.
