Shame coz the triangle and square hour surrounds have rounded edges

No improvement over existing reps visible IMOP. Cyclops is really bad and the uneven dial surface...
Bezel and insert seem to be really nice.

But gen dials don’t have these deepenings around the markers, center hole and date window.
AFAIK gens have got enamel dials which are sanded evenly and high gloss polished. So they should be absolutely even.

At least it’s different, which is refreshing. On first impression I like the midcase minus the rehaut engraving misalignment and the asymmetrical lugs and fat CGs. I think I like the crystal.
But really we need more pics. Indoor, bright light, side shots, with the bracelet...

Thanks for the pics.

Won’t let me edit... lugs actually look symmetrical. But yeah the thinner polished bottom edge on the rehaut makes the dial look like it’s sitting closer to you from the case which is genlike. Need side profile shot

this ^^^^...those deep sinking marker effects on the dial, which is 75% of the watch's looks, really screams fake. Gen dials are flat and do not have that effect at all.

Here's video, first one is Noob V8 114060 and second is new ZZF.

ZZF rattles more metallic sound. It sounds like it needs some oil. Fliplock has much bigger gaps and there is no ceramic bearings.

What's the quality of the bracelet like??

(In my humble opinion, that strap does not improve the look of the watch at all).
Well, let's just say that I rather keep it with Erika's nylon than original ss bracelet. And I'm usually bracelet guy :D

Noob‘s clasp is miles ahead. Looks much better.

I was thinking to update this one's dial and get it serviced in the process, after some digging I haven't figured what would be the best maker. Could some one point me to right direction? ARF?
