Refreshing my page 30 times a day has the exact same effect as pushing the door-close button in a lift 30 times when you’re in a hurry.

Just opened the package

Can't figure out what the hell is wrong with my phone camera, don't have time for that now, but will probably take better pictures later.

Bracelet is a little sharp and squeaky out of the box, but most importantly t-fit clasp is operating perfectly and has ceramic inserts.
Don't personally care about engraving and ghost date, seems to also be winding reasonably smooth.

All in all - my first impressions are very very good!

Looks good for a first run, I think the darker gilt on the rep dial is reason for yellowish reflection on lume giving it a gold tint.

So I've been trying out some natos I have lying around with this beauty now and here's what I've found:




I know that quality is still potato, but trust me - it does have sunburst on the dial (or I am crazy)

Here's some more quick takes:

Thanks @subvertist - This is, as many as already said, a list of cons I can live with for the time being at the price point. ZF will hopefully iron out the flaws but for me, I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I'm in a race to beat you @mclarendude

Still says departed from Origin country.... At this rate, you might beat me!

They must be overwhelmed up in China, mine JUST left per tracking. I guess the tracking on the last one was "departing from origin" 3 days ago.

Ah man. No hope for mine then, I'll need to forget about it for now and then it'll be more of a surprise! Yeah boy

Weird ... y'all were ahead of me, but mine is saying that it has already cleared and departed from import customs here in the states.

Mine made it to the linehaul office in the US last night...

Just received mine. The sunburst is definitely there. Very good watch for the price.

Hell yeah, that looks superb.

Mine is close ... it's with USPS in Orlando. I'm in Atlanta ... couple of days maybe?

Probably so.

 

[Kcnminus]

Pretty solid. Gilt and lug shape/chamfer are definitely more akin to BB58, but the watch is really really nice for a first attempt from ZF.

 

[Got20Mate]

Well hello there

 

[Got20Mate]

I'll do some photographs later but so far, looks the part.

 

[rol_man]

Looking good for first run

 

[Got20Mate]

Well here it is, even if I haven't got around to taking all the stickers off yet. Always takes me ages but we move on! Feels great in the hand, looks the part and is certainly a worthy entry into anyone's collection. This thing is fantastic!

I've set the time and we I'll see how it all ticks along. I'm sure it'll all be fine

This’ll look on an 18mm vintage bond nato
