ZF always seem to nail the bracelet imo

Today my silver/white ZF 4500 finally arrived after some trouble with DHL. I will make a review on the weekend and just had time to make some photos with the smartphone. But I promised to keep you up to date, so here you go ;-)

First impressions (things, that majwilliams0308 didnt mention already):
+ The rotor is very silent. Thats great, cause this was one of my fears.
+ The silver dial has a subtile sunburst and looks great
+ The bracelet has a solid quality and the links can be removed and installed very easy
- The bracelet is quite short. I have 17.5cm wrist and at most other watches I have to remove three links. Here one big and one small links where needed. This means, if you have more than 18,5cm wrist size there might be some problems. If you have more than 19.5cm you can probably forget this watch.

All in all ZF made a great job!
[Fantastic pics removed]

Thanks JayBee0815 for these magnificent pics. I finally could decide for a white dial. We'll see if I follow your suit and order a blue one later on...

Does anybody know if the 8F rubber strap fits on the ZF watch?

Just tried it, works flawlessly, however gen fits a bit better. Will post pics soon.

Thanks, that is great news. I will order the blue face ZF with the Blue rubber 8F strap.

Why don't you order the ZF rubber?

My TD asked ZF about it and told me ZF doesn’t make the rubberstrap, it’s from an other factory.

Ok, I need some QC help. It looks like the dial is rotated a bit to me. What do you guys think?
I've tried to highlight here what I mean:


I've made some marks to highlight parts of the dial relative to the bezel. Is this a RL?

 

[alohajet]

From the dial markers it's hard to tell but my eyes went straight to the date window. It looked misaligned to me even before I saw your picture with the marks.

Any more feedback on the length of the bracelet? Anyone with a big wrist ordered one?

I've got an 8" wrist... Just to be ready I bought JayBee0815 's extra links

Oh. My td said he'd ask zf but they'd be pricy. I gotta double check.

By the way I just ordered one more. So now im waiting for two apparently...

I think you should ask for more pics. As you can see by the bezel notches the angle is off center render the pic quite skewed

I checked the QC video and it looked like it in the video too. I rejected it. I've been waiting a long time, so why not a little longer?

Alright, yea a video should reveal from more angles. Happy waiting! I am too...

I ordered a blue ZF. Got the QC pics within a week. I'm not sure about whether the dial is straight. The 12 marker seems a little off, but the others look like they line up well. Date wheel looks ok to my naked eye. Can anyone help me decide whether to green light or send back? Thanks

You know, that these kind of questions are forbidden here? If you see no flaws, take it.

Sorry, did not realize that. If I could delete the post, I would.
