I was hoping to ascertain if the factory had got it right. For instance the date wheel on certain dates on the 3878 are all left justified, an unfortunate problem that they could easily fix. As very few people have received one of these it would be helpful if an owner could assist. This is for the most part a community that helps it's members in this hobby. I am not trying to highlight "flaws" in the OP's watch, just hoping to see that the factory has done a good job.

As much you guys don't recommend ah bu...
He is the top TD in Asia with high reliability and also free upgrades when you bought from him.
He upgrades Noob V5 Sub to V6 dial for free.
Don't get it wrong I too haven't bought from him before.
Just saying he is one who has good customer service.

you are right.
in view of the CNY i did not reject this piece despite of the datewheel slightly towards the right.
Such a Beauty. It looks even better on the non-TD Pictures. It's a 46 mm dial? I'll have to think about this one since it really has something special.

All I can say is wow! I tried this on at a AD and loved it a year ago. Been waiting patiently for it to come. This one is spot on. My only knock is the lume on the dial is week. The hands are good. Here are some initial photos!!!!

Yeah you are right. It's a greenish lume and should be blue like the Rolex. How difficult is a relume?

Mine arrived doa but took it to my local watchsmith and he fixed it in an hour. Broken screw was stuck in the movement he said. Anyway, here are some shots of the dial.
The dial looks beautiful under fluorescent and sunlight. Strong blue AR just like gen makes the dial really pop. Awesome strap btw. This is definetly worth every penny.
Enjoy
And some movement porn to top it off.

Great pics! ZF has definitely created a super rep, and the LPP is a showstopper. And great pic of the movement it is definitely solid, my 5009-01 has been running like a champ, 4 day power reserve and accurate. This has definitely been the most satisfied I have ever been with an out of the box rep.

Not really difficult but definitely it's a job for skilled watchsmith or modder.
How does it look in motion?
You can find an example over here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyEB2yDBXbM
Congrats ! It's a beauty.... Do you mind taking a picture of the strap

Here are two shots - top is my rep and the bottom is gen. My pic isn't the best so any advice on a lume shot would be appreciated. Overall it's actually not as bad as first thought but definitely not gen like (though are any reps lume ever truly gen caliber?)
