Any update on this? Thinking about getting one and was curious to know what your experience has been like so far.
Someone also mentioned that the bracelet is not 'buttery soft'. I know we're dealing with reps here so I don't expect it to be truly 1:1. How would you rate the bracelet?
Thanks!
Also how is the date wheel? Is it off? Some of the pictures I've seen so far show it's pretty off. Thanks!
Have had the watch alittle over a month... very happy with the purchase, watch works great.
TimeGraph said it ran +7sec/day... has actually been running +4/day...
Bezel action is good, with very little 'play'...
Bracelet is very well made... however, I'm a leather-guy so switched it out immediately.
Date wheel is centered and dead-on, begins to turn about 5min before 12:00...
Only minor issue is the strength of the lume... its OK but definitely not Seiko-strong... holds overnight with no problem...
Again, very satisfied with the purchase... but sometimes it can be luck-of-the-draw.

Thanks I appreciate the quick answer!
How low is the lume? Could you by any chance share a picture? I think I'm going to order one.
It's a gorgeous watch; only concern I have with it is the likelihood of that bezel getting scratched up easily (the couple I've seen in the member sales section were scratched).
Regarding the lume... don't want to give the impression its a poor lume... just NOT a super-strong lume.
Pic taken after about 10sec under desk light... will weaken but usually lasts overnight.

Regrading the bezel... no scratches on mine... but I try to be careful.
Nice 'circular' brushed surface... don't wear it for any heavy-duty work... for me, a 'dress-diver.'

Is that how the Gen is? A different level of lume?

No why? It's just how well that guy charged the lume prior to snapping the picture. Lume is good and strong on the ZF reps.

I have the gen steel and the rep. The rep is a super rep,in my opinion, the only way I can tell them apart is that the click on the bezel is slightly different on the gen.
