Today I received the watch.
Despite of what some of the members here are saying (that it s normal that the watches have flaws and I shouldn t post the things I don t like about it)..this Tudor is flawless.
Bezel is perfectly alligned. The quallity is amazing. Even with a macro lens..I cannot find any imperfections.
There is only one tiny thing: the bezel at some point of the rotation is a little stiff (for 4-5 clicks)

Anything under 10 sec a day is good for a mechanical watch honnestly. 3 sec was laying flat without the watch moving not wearing it . You could do the same test at a different angle and get various results

I have 3 san martins with nh 35 that have 2 sec/day. More than that..after 7-10 days of gaining ..it starts loosing..so I never have to adjust the time :))

San Martin is a legal replica of a Rolex. This is an illegal replica ... I'm 99% sure San Martin used to make the illegal one and got tired of getting busted and they watch taken and realize that people will still buy the watch without the logos if they are cheap enough. You cannot compare an illegal product with a legit one since they don't have the same risk level and selling power. Ex selling on Amazon/eBay etc

Not sure I get it. What is all that have to do with the accuracy of the movement?

Well quality control won't be the same since they are running a illegal operation. They try to pump out the most per day and with customers being picky of detail about accuracy of the looks so they spend no time working on fixing the movement and as long as the watch runs at a rate of +/- reasonable standard ( max 10 sec a day). Those movement come from an other factory and it would add 4h of work per watch just to get them to maybe 0 sec a day on all positions and that's a big maybe. Just buy a real chrono spec eta 2824-2 or sw200-1 and swap it if you are that picky about accuracy. You are literally comparing blackmarket to legal counterfeit. If you go to the pharmacy and buy generic version of pills you won't get the same thing on the blackmarket but the blackmarket will be stamped like the original contrary to the generic but may contain different stuff in it that you don't know.

Wow, it looks fantastic. I'm in the process of getting one and hope to be as lucky as you. ZF Version 2 with the improved dial.
