Would you mind let us know the size once you get it, please?
Gen comes in 3 different sizes and the listing on AliX doesn't tell which one this is.
Thanks!

About 40 hours, less than two days on a full charge anyway.

While I agree with you that lume looks whiter than it used to be (might it be a matter of white balance in the camera settings? I don't know..), the CG's still look kinda short to me.Look at these pictures from JTime and Thrusty.
Are you keeping an eye on recent QC pics? I expect them to be more reliable than pics on TD websites listings.
And don't put too much faith that the white will stay white over time: ORF lume is getting yellower after few months.
I had some time over the weekend to try a new OEM rubber and pin buckle but decided that I prefer the steel bracelet, so will list this strap in the sale section in the coming days.
At the same time, I fitted an OEM clasp to the steel bracelet and can confirm it fits, and a good upgrade, no more sharp edges!
I also had an OEM link that I purchased in recent months. I can confirm it does fit the rep bracelet, however, it is very tight, so does not move as flexibly as it should.
On memory, I think this ZF bracelet, is not quite as good as the VSF I previously owned.

No i totally agree not to trust the pictures on websites but even some QCs of the black and white dial has whiter lume than I had on my blue.

I see what you mean.
If the lume has been updated, it has been a silent and very recent upgrade, since nobody has been talking about it here.
I'm still leaning on camera settings, but well.. I don't have the Truth
Wonder if Thrusty have Truth… Ha! You get it!?I see what you mean.

I’ve asked Puretime to give me VSF QCs and we will se if I get new or old batch.
Perhaps rhe answer would be in the VSF thread, and not here in the ZF thread? I purchased a black one for a friend in ‘21 and the lume was MUCH white than the blue V2 I purchased in ‘19
Well se there if I wouldn’t have asked here than I wouldn’t get your confirmation. All kidding aside I’ve put the question here because it’s most active and in the beginning there is a comparison between VSF and ZF.
I have 3 vs seamasters, blue, black,and two tone black dial rose gold. The blue and black dial are white or maybe a little off white but the rose gold one is a little yellow.

Would you mind sharing some pics of such watch and telling us your experience with a "gold plated" rep on @BMW760 thread?
Rep Gold Plating
I've seen a lot of conversations and questions about rep plating on watches. I've had quite a few throughout the years, but here is a good example. This is the ARF bracelet that I purchased some years back. I wore this regularly . I have personally polished this three times and the gold has...

Thanks!
Green ZF seamaster 300 just arrived. Visually beautiful...but unfortunately it's pretty load on the wrist.
