I don't think you can get ZF anymore, but MXF is available and is pretty decent. I'm a sucker for blue, so I got blue, but the RG/Brown was definitely up on my list.
If you want to wear it as a sports watch, then the blue/SS is my choice, it's more versatile and makes it look sportier. But if you're an office worker, dress cuff, then the RG/Brown looks much better.
Yes I am sucker for blue too and I don’t dress up for work anymore (who does?). Will talk to my TD.
The wife has already given her approval lol

It’s a very cool looking watch and really quite unique. How do you find the layout?
Lol every time you go to read the time you have to have a little think about it. Just like the Frank Muller Crazy hours but not as confusing.
Which factory is this one sir. Are you happy with the quality? I do love the historique!
Unknown factory. Very pleasantly surprised with the quality for a €38 Quartz cheapie from Ali. It looks like it actually has a blue tinted sapphire crystal. The strap is usual crap quality. 20mm strap nt 22mm. It has the coorect clasp but it is not stamped. I have an RG one coming in from Sead with a ST19. The quartz one is pretty thick.
I put it on mesh and it suits it pretty well.
The one coming in from Sead looks to be thinner.
Here are Sead's QC pics

Steve from TOW is able to source this too from a so called AI Factory.
I read that this watch was released few years ago and not that popular because it was a few mm thicker than gen. Not sure if there is any new release with a thinner case. Wil be great if you can give your impression upon receiving this.

Yes it is the replica watch that I overpaid for with a gen dial i also overpaid for with a random AS movement inside of it. Random hands too lol. Looks decent and the dial is weathered so it has the vintage look. I may sell it soon to fund other projects.
Arrived yesterday. AIF.
For those who want to know I measured it at 9.5mm. The xtal stands proud by about 0.5mm so a case thickness of about 9mm. The gen is 8.06mm according to VC.

I absolutely love it. The strap is rep but actually really suits the watch but a little stiff (it has quick release bars) so I might buy a 22 for it. I have it on a mesh atm. I was afraid to overwind this one so I do not have an idea of PR. The winding it a bit on the loose side and does not feel like butter. The open movement at the back looks great as well. It is a bit of a block but not too thick. Reading the time takes a little getting used to as you actually have to read the numbers.
