Put on a Rios1931 Typhoon leather strap From Panatime. Amazing quality for $35!

Yes, I have some strange feelings about this subdial with PR, it's something in it and we cant determine whether is ok, or no-go because the dial has strong sunburst and we can't determine how strong it is on the inner circles of the PR subdials.
W need some real life pictures not post processed from various TD's websites

Very nice combo! The texture of the leather is a great match with the BP. I am waiting with baited breath for mine to arrive!
[MENTION=89989]shewie[/MENTION], the sunburst in this pic seems pretty close to the one in your signature.

@Superman76 I was thinking about Petit Prince edition, that would be my potential target, nonetheless I'd like to see the numbers of the case thickness and compare with the gen. Anyone?
Some further experiences with ZF IWC 500901 replica:
- the AR is very good, it is easy to catch the moment sapphire "disappears"
- autowind is not so effective if you do not walk enough - as a "desk pilot" it might need some hand winding to keep it running at full power reserve
- my watch stopped due to over banking, quite unexpectedly - brought it to a friendly watch smith: he told me some parts needed a little regulation and it should keep on ticking Sounds like lever escapement had to be properly adjusted.
- the movement keeps time like a champ! Almost not needed any regulation out of the box
- the power reserve sundial is probably a tiny bit too shallow when comparing to gen photos.
- date start changing about 22:30 (one hour earlier than gen)

Puretime posted closeup pictures of the Petit Prince Edition, bit worried about Lume and numerals cutout (visible shape flaw at 7 and 4) , what do you guys think?

Thanks for for sharing your observations, I'm hoping this will end up being a fairly reliable and durable rep. It seems from what I've read that the movement is a winner especially after a service. We should be enjoying our BP's for years to come.
I have noticed on a few of the pics up on various site what appears to be glue squeezing out from under the numerals also. Perhaps ZF is in too much of a hurry to get something out before CNY. But i am still in the camp that thinks this will not come out until after CNY to build anticipation and demand from folks like us.............."Get it now or CNY will come and you will be out of lucky (Followed by fast breathing and high heart rate)"

Yeah, I've been saying this all along as well. My gut was telling me we wouldn't see the LPP until after CNY, the dealers were saying it would make it, but I know they just want to lock in sales, and chances are pretty high nothing will ship until after the holiday. I would rather just hold on to my funds and wait till after all the dust settles.
I have not had any issues with the rotor or power reserve. I've been wearing the watch for a few days straight... has never left the fully charged spot. No winding.
The one minor flaw I noticed is that the crown detail seems not quite as sharp as the gen pics. But that's really nitpicky. This is one of the best Reps I've owned.
A little tip on the strap. If you want a shinier look, use a little dab of extra virgin olive oil and rub in. I've heard vegetable oil works as well.
