Hi everyone,
Got my QC photos and have a question.
The timegrapher shows 12 s/d. Is this acceptable? Does it mean it's 12 seconds per day fast?
Thanks.

I'll play..
ZF surely knows how to rep watches, but their QC sucks. Looking at all photos, the datewheel justification is either off left to right or top to bottom. I guess you have to pick your poison!

On gen photos is 60/40..this one is 60/40
Date wheel realignment being easy is a misconception. Especially if you're talking about the print it self being off center. Left to right to realign is literally inpossible. Top to bottom, maybe some tolerances on the axis you place the wheel. But if you're mainly talking about printing issues, it's tough. I have never ever seen a rep after owning over 30 of them that I would consider with perfect QC. In particular, across the board, ZF's QC really does suck...

has anyone noticed, that cheaper shitty version of this actually has a better colour blue on the bezel
I really wonder why the date wheel alignment is such an issue. The Rep itself looks so close to the Gen, one would think that the date wheel alignment shouldn’t be that much more complicated...
But that’s a more general question.

I think the date wheel alignment issue is having more to do with date disc being imperfectly glued to real date wheel to replicate Tudor in-house movement, since A2836 movement has date much closer to the center. So in theory, we could probably remove the glue and realign.
As far as dates being complicated, none of it theoretically really is. Everyone has different sets of tolerances of what they consider acceptable and not. Even gens have flaws. However, as a whole, in general, ZF QC does indeed suck...
Well, I am Looking at this watch and only see the Hand Stack Flaw as a dramatically unnaceptable, BUT !!! it is VERY dificult to identify the flaw on real life (if you dont have the Watch un your hand and if you dont clos it to your eyes.)
The Date is a flaw that it could be Gen Flaw too.
I am deciding to put this watch on my "what do I have to chose now" list, and put me on a hard position.

Got my Tudor GMT ZF from Intime today. Endlinks are nice and tight, bezel looks pretty damn close to gen. Really satisfied with both watch and service from Intime!
I also received mine today from another dealer. I am very happy with the watch as it looks better in person than the QC pics. Very satisfied with the quality and fits perfect after removing 2 links.
Here's mine. It's a beauty
