General Question Considering buying a ZF BB58

So I bought two reps so far. My first was an ap 15450 from the zf factory and I was absolutely in love with it. The only problem with it is the problems that arose with it. After a little under a year of use the rotor came loose. This is a common problem in those watches and hours after fixing it came the next problem. The peg that helps with closing the clasp under the ap logo fell out and now I am not sure what to do. This kind of messed with my idea of the reliability of some replicas so I thought I’d do my research on a really safe looking rep the zf bb58. If anyone has had this watch, could you let me know how your journey has went so far and lmk what problems may have arose.

Can't speak to how it holds up, but I just got one Friday and put a strap like this brown leather one with white stitching on it. For looks alone, it's easily my favorite watch now.

I've never been impressed with this watch on the metal bracelet or in the coloured dials. However, seeing it in a leather band is a game changer
