Had a dream with this watch in it the other night.... no seriously I did. Weird I know. Overtime I see this thread on the 1st page I get so excited for this watch. Its definitely next after the Bronzo.

Anyway I'm a little bit confused about the power reserve. I know that the indicator on the case back is probably fake (and I don't care) but this night I left my watch at 1am and I went to sleep. I woke up at 10am and I realized that it stopped working at 8:05 ! Wtf does it have a PR of 7 hours??? I don't think so! I heard people that own the same watch with the same seagull movement and have at least 30hrs of power reserve. Does somebody has the same problem?

what movement do you have? i've noticed that seagulls seem to have a better pr (unless someone says otherwise?) Last week i timed it and my 438 can keep running (off wrist) for 46 hours.
In my experience seagull has a lower power reserve compared to 7750s but it's still pretty good

Thank for answer, I have a seagull movement. I don't understand one thing, have I to turn the crown to charge the watch or I just need to move the wrist? It think it's the same but with the low PR I have maybe this is the reason!

I have read on here a few times that winding the Seagull Movement can damage the gears. My 571 doesn't feel right when trying to wind manually. I only tried it once. The watch keeps time almost dead on perfect. Just be careful when winding manually...

Mmmm ok thank you for letting me know! Till now I have wind just once the crown for 2-3 minutes. Anyway the "sound" of the gear when I wind is almost identical of my gen Rolex so I think I haven't damaged anything but it's just a feeling.

I was at home in this two days ( in front of a computer) so probably I haven't move the wrist so much and probably I haven't moved the rotor so much...I'll try to use the watch as much as possible in the next days so I can see the true PR of my watch! Thank you for helping me!

Seems fine without imperfections. Date is centered, minutes hand length is right and the bracelet has no visible marks or crack. Can I ask you wich dealer sent you this photos?
Remember to check the two parts that are supposed to be glued at the end of the bracelet. Mine were soooo lose and when I removed the screw to remove and adjust the bracelet, they split in two parts! Use Loctite to secure them! Bye!

Thank you! I explain better with pics instead of words
Let me know if you understand what I mean and sorry for my english!
thanx mate....
I'll surely do that when I receive it...
I tried on the gen and have had the v6 one for a long time now. I feel that v6 nailed it on the dial indice color and the overall case along with the cg. But the dial boldiness seems to be better on the ZF even though the color is supposed to more orangey as in 532. Zf seems to have done it with more of Ecru than Orangey Ecru. Than again, we have to see it in person and daylight photos to be the best judge. I hope you enjoy your new piece in best of your health bro!!

Hi panasol
No screws in ceramic bracelet, just PINs
You should use a PIN REMOVER:

In this way:

Just that
Easy??
Good luck
ALE
or just go to your local watch/repair shop... they'll adjust it for 5 bucks, if that. these bracelets are somewhat of a pain in the arse!
