It’s an abomination
This is probably the apice of watch cloning


Not even close dial or case
Pls do not waste your money, get a 116500 instead please

I might actually buy this lol I have no problems with the 11 case, I like the 12 bezel, I like the 12 hour markers, I dislike the 12 sub rings. This is actually perfect for me, but I have funds tied up in other projects now.

Orrible

ZF wanted to be first to market, I'm sure there will be improvements, but yeah, they'll learn quick that first to market but skipping on details will not get you sales.

 

[MaximillianGT]

The subdial is kinda too thick, can tell from quite far away...

 

[mistermagoo]

There must be a market for these if they're willing to rush them out and charge $800. Who's buying them though?

Local market is vastly different to the rest of the world, which is what is catered to.

Nah, just because they released it, doesn't mean there's a market for it yet. Behind the scenes, all the factories are waging war for sales. Rolex, of course, the biggest market, is the most lucrative, but, it's dominated by the top tier factories Clean and VS. For the Daytonas, BTF is dominating alongside Clean as well.

ZF learnt a really expensive lesson with their Submariners, they released it, and thought people would lap it up like the old Noobmariners, but they realized that most people (even locally) went with Clean and VS. For a while if you wanted the new 5712 you HAD to buy a ZF Sub together with it, because ZF was trying to offload stock.

So, they learnt their lesson, and they know if they want to dominate the Rolex market they MUST be first to release to capture sales.

Like a software product that goes into early release with sales, and improved on later. That's the model they're adopting.

For those who don't pay attention to details or don't care, the ZF 126500 will fit their bill

Definitely. You can also buy a Starbucks with green dial and black bezel.

It's the correct combo. Lol

I do like the bezel quite a lot and think of buying it just for throwing it on a build lol

There's an ass for every seat but not the wise ones for sure

It's ugly and wrong af

I think ZF should have adopted this strategy much earlier, by now they can release all new products before everyone else and update them later, but without success, by now Clean and Vsf have taken over

 

[Th4ySoN]

It’s a loosing strategy and shows no regard for quality etc.
Unless it makes sense to the local market I don’t see a reason why.

 

[japer]

I have a feeling Clean will follow soon…

 

[SOLEX]

Clearly rushed, let's wait for the next version (who knows how long!)

In my eyes, I would still be getting a 116500 over this until it is perfected

 

[m5smg2]

Since it’s confirmed Clean received both white and black gen 126500, I anticipate a January release
