The dial shift is a very easy fix. The dial is actually attached to the movement ring, not the movement. ZF does this with to get a better datewheel position. You honestly only have to pop off the caseback, loosen the movement screws and move the ring a little bit. Mine has no dial shift so no need.
Anyway, I've had this for +/- a week and I love, love, love it. Could ZF do a V2? Yes, but the list right now of things wrong is pretty little/insignificant for me.

Here’s the guide to align the dial for anyone interested

Thank you for this! The dial shift directions very helpful and reassuring for not worrying too much about it during QC.
It is much nicer in person!
Not too big on the wrist.
The thickness is no big deal, you were right!
It is a little heavy.
I really dig it actually!

Would any of you guys mind measuring the diameter of the threads on the crown tube? Would love to swap a ZF BB Pro crown on to my ZF 58. I'm not sure if this is the case with the Pro but on the 58 I was able to simply unscrew the crown and pull it out to the last position and there was plenty of space for a set of calipers to measure it.
Received mine today. Quite happy with it, though I should have checked the date window more closely on QC. Can this be remedied by a watchmaker?
It is quite the chunky watch, the BB58 looks and feels much more refined and elegant. I do have small and bony wrists though.

Pretty easy task mate! You can probably do this by yourself too.
You just need to open the caseback and change the position of the movement holder (with the screws loosened) as the dial is installed on it.
MAYBE you also have to adjust the movement also which is also as easy as the first one. You just need to pull the stem into time setting position, loosen the inner screws and you have a tiny bit of room to adjust
Thanks for the tip! Maybe I'll give it a shot. Feels like open heart surgery to me

There’s a guide link to Reddit somewhere in BBPro topics, how to fix alignment. Just search for it.Received mine today. Quite happy with it, though I should have checked the date window more closely on QC. Can this be remedied by a watchmaker?
