The base metal has changed, at least from the bezel I've pictured and the one that arrived this morning... When taken to a clean slate both watches are completely different color..

I'm putting the polished knurling on the bezel edge, then repressing the markers back in... Then installing a prefab Pearl in the cup and this puppy should be as close to gen as any bronzo rep on earth...

Bevel looks improved, I would like to see a side view :)
Indices on the bezel look messed up now, will you fix them?

If I understand the question (you could have been more clear being worried it might be construed as silly and being a first post), you are asking if Z-Factory is puretime? In a word, no. Zfactory does tend to release from puretime first but it's because Angus and the Zfactory owner are friends.

Sorry for my very very bad English ... I wanted to say if the 382 z is selling puretime

Yes polished edge of the bezel... And still have finish work to do to get it fine tuned... Will be working on it over the next few weeks to get the kinks out..

I'm sorry, but can you be a bit more specific?

You asked which service we would recommend. Movement service, which would be clear to any reputable watchsmith, is the cleaning and lubrication of the watch movement so that it runs reliably for a very long time. Unless you have a very different definition of service.

The markers have had to be reset as they're wrong in this picture, but someone ask for a side shot
Also I agree with the service of this movement I think is almost a mandatory as the zfac v1 is now giving me some trouble but the power reserve on all versions seems to be garbage.
