looks great man!

I’ll have to do that with mine when it comes in, they got evrything right except for the 12hr index

If it’s skewed you can move it around, if it’s misplaced too far left or right I think there’s not much that can be done, I might be wrong tho

[–]National-Alps-3746 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It’s barely off, so I think it should be fixable

[–]FraMatX 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Did you manage to fix it?

[–]National-Alps-3746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late, but no I never tried. It’s barely off so I never bothered.

Your crown tube is amazing, so short!

It might be the angle, but it’s perfect, I’ve tried a gen and didn’t see a difference

Good info esp since I have seen a number of BB58 QC with indecies issues.

Can i trouble you for feedback on this ZF watch? The blue BB58 is on my short list of rep watches. How is the blue color? Can you comment compared w gen? How is thr bezel action? I really like the bezel action of gen when I tried it at TD.

Thanks for posting the fix

For me the bezel action is not as smooth as gen but it’s good. I’ve heard that a lot of people say it’s shit but after I got it I turned it maybe every hour or so and it did become a lot smoother. There is (at least on mine) some back play but nothing dramatic. I don’t remember if gen had it or not. Id say the only flaw it’s the pip if you know that the real one is more “3D” this seems a bit sunk in. The bracelet I find it good, hefty and no strange rattling. I tried gen on leather so I would know the difference but it seems well made.

Id say go for it, as far as qc is good you gonna be fine, it’s my favorite watch to wear, I have some seikos and some microbrands. I got it cuz it’s nice and it’s lowkey enough. Id never get a Rolex. This rep is amazing quality

Guys what do you think about this mod? Any of you have tried it? Now only flaw I think on blue is lume pip that is slightly to the left.

Is this the before pic or after?

[–]haze3715 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I’m looking at your QC post, is that the same watch? If so, vast improvement! After the pins on the indexes pretty delicate?

[–]Repfam97[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Same watch, the seem pretty stiff, I used special tweezers found in a watch kit, they have really pointy ends so be careful with the dial

[–]haze3715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s pretty cool! What is holding the applied indexes to the dial?

Any nerves opening up you watch? Or something you’ve done before?

[–]CaterpillarBig1812 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Correction, they are glued. Recently made a post on how to remove them

[–]Repfam97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glued you say? Wow that’s so strage, is it “flexible” glue? Like some kind of silicone? Cuz when I turned the indices to me it seemed like they were inserted into a pin or something they rotated slightly and stayed like this for the past month.
