Got the watch in 4 days. Fantastic watch!!

quick question: The bracelet appears little enough? Put it overnight in baby oil?

Here it is on an RAF strap from natostrap.com. Comfy but leaves lots of the steel case showing. Have ordered a couple leather straps from aliexpress and am keen to see how they pair up. At the end of the day, just experimenting as I like the bracelet just fine.

I’m curious. There are plenty of TDs that can source this watch. Why chase down a personal dealer instead of using one of the big ones? I’m new to this, so I’m really just curious on what the advantages would be.

Its true what you say and i'm by no mean encourage anybody to contact the dealer. Plenty of TD on the forum already.
the advantages are free shipping and 8% discount to all watch purchase.

Very nice. Though maybe finding a gen like strap (with red stripe in the middle) maybe the best. I will try to source one when my watch arrived.

Hi, could someone already received the ZF GMT help to confirm the hands order? From top to bottom the gen is second>minute>GMT>hour. What I see from your pictures the ZF rep seems to have s>m>h>GMT?

Just got my QC looks fine to me except datewheel, what do you think? Asked for some more pics of different dates. 6-9-12 also looks straight right?

Yeah date doesn’t look perfect, but I think that’s the same for most of these watches. If it really bothers you, it might get difficult to find one with a good date AND no crooked markers etc.

Looks like mine. Im recieveing it in a couple of days. The worst on mine are 9 and 12 markers.
Do you think this is an easy fix?

Anything else I haven't spotted?
6 and 18 color split seems okay to me
Is it normal that the SEL look like this from the back?

Are those QC problems common on this rep? Just made a purchase today for it. Never turned down a watch before but if there are so many issues on this one I may ask for some of your help if I'm unsure.

I've seen several with crooked minute markers and misaligned datewheel seems to be common. But in general I'd say this is a pretty good rep for 1st version. I wouldn't mind a slightly misaligned datewheel but the crooked markers would always catch my eye :D

Just asked for more datewheel pictures for my QC hope to get them soon, anything that I have missed in the pictures I posted above?

I'm super OCD so anything like that would drive me crazy. I feel like I'd rather have a date wheel slightly off rather than a marker though.

How is the colour of the bezel on these in real life. From the pictures it looks more black like a Coke rather than a Pepsi?
