Thanks for sharing!

We definitely need to see a video of this.

Just looked at the rep pictures on Trusty and compared it to genuine. It appears from the rep pictures that there is only one pusher button on the side of the case on the left side. The genuine has two pusher buttons on both sides of the case.

In other words, the rep has 3 pusher buttons, is missing one at the 10 o'clock position on the side of the case. The gen has 4 pusher buttons, 2 on each side of case. This is a big deal to me, since from the exterior this would be noticeable almost immediately.

Noticeable by whom?

You, a watch enthousiaste, had to check on VC website…. Nobody knows how many buttons are on the side of a perpetual VC buddy

Yeah even the new Fiftysix by VC has a button thats differently placed from the gen. I can guarantee you nobody gives a shit / will notice. If you like the watch just get it man!

Well, it is of my concern so I point it out for others to see and make their own opinion. Perhaps someone else does care about this as I do, and now they can make a better judgment of getting this piece or not. I value everyone's input to this forum, if they help to point out something I don't see I am appreciative.

You are most definitely correct that likely no one will realize it or notice this pusher flaw, but I don't think it should be held against me that I noticed this and point it out for the community.

Some brands better handle leap year by putting a separate four segment indicator on the back, which makes sense, no reason to clutter the dial with something mainly used when setting the watch.
There are three pushers, if the day indicator is just geared to the hour, one of the others may change moon phase.
I'm assuming all three need to be manually adjusted each day.

just checked with my TD and he confirms the moon phase does not work. Was looking to buy the ZF fifty six complete calendar but I think I’m gonna get the grey dial in this one it looks amazing.

Guys, sorry to spoil the party but thickness is also an issue. 8.3mm for gen 11mm for rep. Hmm...

 

[Booonin]

My TD does not recommend to buy the model, says that watches with complex mechanics are tend to be bad

Placed my order for the grey and white dial. Will share QC PICS when I approve them. Does anyone know the size and dimensions of the strap. I want to order some some straps before the watch arrives. Is the following picture accurate:

Couldn’t take it anymore, just placed order from trusty for blue dial rose gold. Purchased blue rubber and bracelet. Will let you all know as pictures come in

 

[Nutforwatches]

Anyone locate a video for the blue dial rose gold version?

 

[Nutforwatches]

No QC pictures yet. I’ll give it another 2 days before i follow up

 

[baconstrip]

Sead's been waiting since end of October for them to send him one to sell me.

 

[Nutforwatches]

Update. After being patient I received an email from Andrew saying that the factory cannot supply this watch. Has anyone successfully gotten at least QC pictures?

 

[Stuart Pitt]

That's disappointing, Major Williams received QC pictures;

I’m not sure this will be produced. Just speculating here but the pictures were from the factory not from the distributor. Maybe it was a trial balloon to gauge demand?? Really a grail for a bunch of in the know watch people
