I have this one. The strap is nice though a bit short (my wrist is around 7.7") so I wear it on the last hole.

I've had this and the noob v2; they feel pretty much the same to me, honestly. The ZF has noticeably greener lume on the bezel.

Open back kills it and doesn't need to be there. With a closed back I would buy it tomorrow. Who wants to look at false plates and wheels.

Didn't notice that on the one on PT -- maybe this isn't the ZF I have, since I have a closed back.

I agree. For me, a rep should have the same back (open or closed) as gen.

Here's my closed-back version.

One of the things people were picking up on about this one is the white plastic or whatever under the dial, which is visible if you look in the date window at an angle. However, there's a fake that was posted on TRF a while ago (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=380963) that has the same problem, so it's not unique to the XF, at least.
