Just arrived from Puretime. First impression, ZF has done a great job!

Just got my ZF blue. Dial is not glossy, has texture like those satin matte screen protector you apply on your phone screen. My current lighting is bad, so cant take a picture of it.
This pictures from jackflash and cjt202020 sum it up pretty well. The texture is visible in harsh light (think direct sunlight, torchlight), otherwise, you'd be greeted with the various blue that the dial takes on in different lighting. Maybe someone with a gen can chime in whether it is similar as well.
My ZF BB58 blue also came with rubbish bent spring bars that made the bracelet jiggly. They're the worst skinny I've seen on a rep, ZF probably skimped on it. Please change to new spring bars unless you want the watch falling off your wrist. That will definitely be a huge tell.

this watch is amazing tbh, if the rep and gen are thousands of miles apart in terms of look and feel then yes all the negativeness and shortcomings are valid, however even with the side-by-side pics for the ZF vs Gen, its very difficult to spot the difference like playing photohunt
for whats its worth, i highly recommend to buy it, wear it, enjoy it cause you never know if there will be a v2, v3, v4 for that matter. If a new one becomes available, just weight your pros and cons to see if its worth to upgrade or live with the v1.
Well said. I think I’ll trigger this from hontwatch
I just received mine, and I must thank KSwatches for their great work with my order. I've had it on my wrist for the day and honestly I don't see what not to like on this watch. Great feeling, great color, good insert and superb dome crystal, I love it.
Of course, it's still a rep. So on the "con's" side, one can always be picky on :
- a bit of a rattly bracelet. Mine will go through oil bath for sure, but it looks good.
- the lume pip is not gen spec. But who cares, the rep one looks better than the gen.
-the hands are not as smoothly cut as the gen, but overall good enough, and the lightly different lume color by daylight is just non noticeable on the wrist.
-of course it's not the gen movement, but the 2824 in my sample here keeps great time. I'll check it on the timegrapher later today but I'm not worried about it.
This is a great rep here, amazing OOTB by ZF. All it needs it a waterproofing, a Nato on the side of the steel bracelet, and we have one of the "Tudor must have" to me for sure.

AAAAAGH I can't choose between the new Blue and the classic Black... I somehow fancy the blue because it looks so "readable", and the colors of the black are very similar to my new Omega NTTD.. Is the movement actually engraved like the original?
Some members may reply in the meantime but I'll open mine later today and let you know.

20mm is 20mm, I can't think of any possibility that it won't work for the ZF, like any 20 strap.
The ZF lug width is a precise 20mm, it will fit yes.

Your totally wrong. Distances change all the time. After 7 pints, 6 inches easily becomes 12.
