what is your first impression?
Absolutely stunned!!!! I had the gen for some time and this feels and looks exactly the same! Only some sharp edges on the bracelet, other than that perfect! Dial texture is awesome - totally better than ZF 58!! And color overall as well as finishing is wonderful! The ICHS is barely visible, I would give this rep a solid 9.5/10 where I would put the ZF 58 on 7/10

I have mine too for 3-4 days and it’s awesome. I’ve got it from Hont, GL’d on the 2nd run. This thing is so nice. Thickness is not an issue at all. To all concerned with a bracelet: give it a baby oil bath overnight and swap the springbars to a thicker Rolex ones. The difference is literally night and day, I am stunned.

Which measurements have these springbars?

Would any of you guys mind measuring the diameter of the threads on the crown tube? Would love to swap a ZF BB Pro crown on to my ZF 58. I'm not sure if this is the case with the Pro but on the 58 I was able to simply unscrew the crown and pull it out to the last position and there was plenty of space for a set of calipers to measure it.

Can you guys share your thoughts on how thick the watch looks on the wrist. The height of 15mm at 39mm diameter sounds a little clunky. 🤔

Edit: forget that I even asked, already ordered one. Shouldn't have opened this thread to begin with...

It’s a thick and chunky boy, but totally, absolutely comfortable at my 17.5cm wrist. Would I be happy if it was a mm or two thinner? Yes. Does the thickness bother me now? Absolutely not.

Here is a wrist roll I took on my 16-16,5cm wrist!
Thickness absolutely not an issue

At the end of the day it's a matter of personal preference, some like it chunky even if they have smaller wrists, some simply don't. And then, tastes can also change over time. Some time ago I was a strict dress watch lover, the thinner, the better. Nowadays it has changed a bit. I'll try it and if I don't bond I'll flip it to someone who can appreciate it better.
