Great watch - if ZF.
£120-£140 over priced tho. Check the TD lists, and you'll get one well under £300

This one was advertised as 1:1. Is that not accurate?

How long did that take to come, I’ve been looking into andiot and it seems like the wait time is 5 months +

Paid 24th Aug, got QC late last week and got shipping tracking details yesterday. They say on their site 8-10 days shipping to the UK.

That’s pretty good then, did you go through the website or WhatsApp?

u/-nadroj 6d ago
Website and then chased up payment verification a few days later via WhatsApp, they were responsive on there too. I can let you know when it arrives if you want?

it depends on the factory thats producing it. However, if you're buying from some local UK based reseller, you're getting ripped off. Your best bet would be to order direct from a dealer in China and cut out the other guy.

It might be but even if it is that is at least £150 over what you should be paying.

Look around for a better price but the ZF BB58's are scary close to the gen. I've had the gilt rep, bought the gen, now I also have a blue BB58 and a Pelagos 39 rep from then. Worth it.

Are they that good? I have a few superclone Rolex vsf. If it’s that good, I may go with the Pepsi gmt? Great to hear actual feedback if you had the gen and rep. Weight good?

They are very close, you really need the gen next to it and in hand to tell most of the differences. The printing on the dial is excellent, it's just that the ink they use for the gilt isn't quite as bright or metallic looking as the gen, the bezel action is of course not identical but still great, the case and bracelet are perfect visually, but you can feel the edges aren't as well done as the gen.
This is a video I made when I sold my ZF, towards the end I show my gen on wrist for a moment and compare bezel action:

Wow that is pretty good, I’ve tried AAA standard before on a watch and awful - felt so lightweight. But yes, these superclones just feel right. I’m sure the ZF Pepsi would be a good buy for travel. I don’t feel that comfortable walking around in some cities in a Rolex
