Paint already flaking off the deco plate reversing wheel. Deco plates are useless potential sources of debris to a movement that should be removed immediately.

I bought 2 ZZF sub to stripped off and compare to Gen

It not like the advertising

The bezel click very loud and dry

The actual bezel is thicker than Gen

The clasp is solid but the finished just like BP clasp

The rehault is proper bad compare to AR or Noob

But I would say insert look good
sel fit well

Oh.. I thought it was a fully functional clone 3130 movement.. ha..

But still, very nice to have another alternative to Noob V8 for a no date sub.

Me too. Guess not. Still an intriguing watch. Has a lot of potential with a few small changes

I agree, why go to such lengths for a part that cannot even be seen. It's not like you are going to open the watch in front of people anyway. BTW, if they are just for decoration how difficult is it to take them off?

Thanks for the review! As always, very nice detail on the pictures.
The inevitable question: how's the dial around the hour markers? Does it still suffer from the same curved effect as with the ZZF 116610 LN?

I never understood the point decorating the movement. The 2836 is reliable and I am glad that it is in this one, but the deco seems absolutely pointless.

Great comparison as usual. How does the black color of the insert compare to genuine? Heard some said it is more of matt black than glossy?

Great comparison Li. Do you think you can do more of these in the future for new releases that you think are close to gen?

Would this watch + the ARF bracelet make the perfect watch since ARF's bracelet would make the SEL's more gen-like? I'm assuming it should be compatible? Curious for answers.

Noob v8 has been really hard to get these days. This is a great alternative. I wonder when the release says would be as well.
