This looks like a very doable rep. Would be nice to see it come to light. 9.03mm height. Just time/date function.
Looks great with the blue strap. Some light play on the dial with carbon look and strap reinforces that. 324 cal.
Sure its no simple task...dial color/sunburst. dial print. but like all rep issues. but hey its a great looking piece!

Saw this released earlier and agree. Should be a pretty doable rep to make I would think, given it uses the 324 movement and is stainless steel. Of course the dial color is always a challenge but given we already have a clone 324 you’d think that would make it a bit easier as well. Time will tell of course.

Wish they were making more than 1k gen’s... as it’s a nice slim watch at a pretty reasonable starting price but I’m sure we’ll see them at 2-3x value on chrono24 soon enough

its all about the limited runs...sadly or perhaps not but that does drive desirability up and yes 2-3x would be an expected secondary market price.

I'm just really enjoying this watch and since we have a base movement to use...i think at 9mm height i think even the zf and others can join the party based on this watch being a bit thicker.
one of the miyo bassd factories and duke it out for watch maker supremacy. while i would like the clone movement....i may not be as sad if it had a miyo behind it if the aesthetics were all there since their open back cases are pretty solid other than noisy rotor but i do my silencer on it.

i just think this is doable and it is a nice looking watch can go with dress or jeans.

and please do a proper lume job...the white hands and dial pieces...need this lume to be on point. its different when you have chrome hands but with white any contrast shows up.

5196 was also ‘doable’ and that failed.

not holding my breath, but it would a nice surprise if ZF takes this on.

i wish these makers would then revisit the 5168! WTF that needs an update...proper dial, proper sized numerals. etc. you guys know. where is our v2 of that.
i'm hoping with the clone movement it would spark up more movement of this 324cal based pieces.

Thought it was a Hamilton at first! Maybe it'll grow on me. Still looking forward to seeing how good and fast the reps are available

Looks very good in gen, in rep forget about it . Color will never be matched, period. If it was black we might be looking at something similar but not at that color.

If they manage to get hands on the gen it seems pretty doable. I love the simple design and the fact that it is SS would make it a instand cop for me.

sad. bezel doesn't have the proper roundness. strap...i dunno what i god's green earth they were thinking there.
has potential but the case needs a rework and its not high polish...maybe a satin finish....it has some shine but not like high shine.

Agreed. Almost feels like a subpar effort by ZF on this one. The dial color looks a bit too bright as well. That strap is absolutely horrendous (and usually they get at least the color/finish correct)

The outer disk texture is clearly off. For the color, I am under the impression that the pictures are way overexposed with white artificial lighting. Hard to say how close or far it is to be honest.

Dial color is hard to say because of that. one professional photo vs lightbox TD photo. So I don't get too much into this debate because there are a lot of variables there. we can see some basics....crazy think is there are many straps on the market that are nylon clad or parasail canvas or however you want to describe it for the strap....but burlap blue isn't one of them....

and yes for ZF i think this a very subpar attempt based on reputation, i definitely expected more out of them that what was dropped.
dial needs circular brushed sunburst. inner pattern needs more definition to it. ridges look to shallow. numerals are ok....i would need to see even-ness of lume as well.
