The insert color is spot on to gen.

Someonse was asking above. When the bezel goes counter clockwise, the bezel click sound is crisper than when it goes clockwise

That blue on the bezel is really hard to capture (almost looks black in most of the pics).

thanks for the pics guys.

Hey buddy,

How’s the overall fit and the Finish of the dial? How’s the time keeping and the lume? Anything that you are not happy with?

Literally just got it. Arms length, she's a beauty. I'm not a 10X kinda guy. Spun throught the date wheel and most everything looks good enough for me, couple slightly wonky but most good. Will look at lume tonight when I wake up in the middle of the night, that's my official lume test. If I can see what time it is the lume passes! I will throw it on the timegrapher later but the qc pics said +4s/d b/e 0.7ms amp 279

edit to add: my wrist is 8 3/4" +/- and I have this bracelet maxed out. Fits me alright but wish I had one more link.
If anyone's pulling off a couple links I could use one!

Somehow that bezel still looks pretty dark. Would love to see some side by side gen vs rep, then ill pull the trigger :)

Post #1 in this thread has a purported picture of a side by side of a Gen and ZF insert, they look identical to me.

Maybe I should fade this insert? :eek:

It’s difficult to assess the color accuracy without side by side comparison with a gen.

This is a gen. Bezel of ZF looks spot on to me, it looks the same. Navy blue almost black.

I agree, and if our biggest worry is half the bezel being 1 shade too dark, we really have a great watch.

It’s a rep not a gen people

Just accepted my QC pics. The date wheel looked a little bit far left but then the angle of the image wasn't straight on so it's hard to sell. I wish TD's would send more images rather than us having to ask for them delaying the process even more. I've accepted anyway, didn't wanna wait.

Given that I've accepted the QC pics, can I get some opinions on this please? The only thing that stood out to me was the date being a little too far left, thoughts?
