From Watchfinder's page, a new 5711 from the "ZE Factory".
Correct hands, Dial pattern looks correct (non-pillowy) and without greenish tint - might even be a bit too blue though (a la 5711p perhaps). Decorated movement, No holes in the bracelet. And a purported 9.5 mm thickness too!!

Perhaps the hours markers aren't as crisp, and that date font looks suspect.

"ZE factory" New 5711

This looks like a great effort but purple dial and the date font and the too thick lume on hour markers and hands immediately jump out at me.
As usual, couple steps forward = couple steps back...
Very disappointing and still not worth upgrading from my sw200!

Looks quite nice. Decorated movt. looks great and super thin.

Who is going to call you out on a date font?

this might be a better choice imo... not digging the rough brushing on the bezel case.

Its not about getting called out, chances are you will never be called out even on the cheapest 21j version. This is about perfecting an almost perfect rep for "US" and they just screwed it up again...

The date window is aligned too much to the left, the dial is blue/purple, the date font is wrong and the ears where the crown is looks like the 3711 ears. I would be able to live with the flaws except the date window being aligned too much to the left. But I do like how thin this model looks, and the two markers @ 12 are close to each other the way they're suppose to be. I like the finish on the decorated movement!

The watch on the last picture has a leather strap on it. So that's not the same watch as the other pictures.

What he said exactly.

Speaking of the 21J, the dial, date front, and hands are the exacttttttt same ones as the ones on the 21J I bought when I did the swap on the BP Miyota. No innovation there. Just used the parts from the factory that made the 21J on a decorated Miyota.

The date window placement is completely wrong, it should be hugging the edge of the dial.

Another factory meeting went by:
"We should make another 5711 and piss them off again".
"ZE, I believe it's your turn".
"Correct! We will remove the bracelet holes and **** up some other parts. We won't tell just yet, but it will be epic!"
"Great. We can't wait to see..."
"MUHAHAHAHA (evil laughter)".

What's mean the “ZE†factory?
Just one of the many smaller Chinese factories. Some of the names (other factories) can be confusing such as GG, ZZ and this ZE.
One of these so called factories' owners has even recently joined our forum. Lol.

More things to come.
