absolutely amazing. zzf v2 has eclipsed the great arf. passing of the torch.

I’m not so sure, the only thing that’s really ‘better’ and only marginally is the dial. Rest is on par.

In fact

A few things are better on the ARF I’d say, rest is very close

ARF still have better hands. But Lume wise, ZZF is better.
ARF have better Bracelet as comapred to ZZF V2 ( I have both, ARF, ZZF V1 and ZZF V2). ARF feel more solid and smooth
Bezel clicking is much more smoother in ARF
ARF have clearer Xtal (But doesnt matter, rep crystal sucks)

On the other end,
ZZF have better datewheel even though ARF improved theirs.
ZZF have better movement
ZZF have better insert, dial and bezel
ZZF Have better case

Finishing wise, ZZF is actually better than ARF. If i have time, shall do the VS thread. Don't have a noob though.

Correct. CG for ZZF is wrong. Haven't pay attention to the 3135 CG, but if i remember correctly 3135 CG is the same as ARF. Let me check when im home

Just given it a polish and ultrasonic clean including the platinum bezel numbers and they sparkle more now than they did so not sure what the formula is the factories are using.

Do you have ARF Hands? Can compare against ZZF lume? Just lume effects. Best with Gen hands also. Thanks

Looking forward to that. As it stands (if Gen hands matched well) I see no reason to go Gen dial

Wow looks really stunning! May I ask you how you did the polishing? And did I get you right that you have put the bezel insert in the ultra sonic? If so, that should be the proof for gen like plating and finally no more fading :woo:

I’ve fitted a gen crystal to the watch and polished the rehaut with a selvyt impregnated polishing cloth. I then polished the top of the bezel teeth with my Dremel polishing mop and the bracelet sides. I also went over the insert engraving fillings as they looked flat compared to my last CF insert and then cleaned the whole watch in jewellers cleaning solution and finally I put the whole watch in the ultrasonic cleaner that I have. Big improvement and I’m very happy with now. It sparkles like gen! Waterproof too!

My thoughts as well. Lume looks close unlike Arf’s ultra white lume mix. Should arrive after the weekend and I’ll fit them straight away and update my findings.

Thanks for your explanation! You did a nice job, it's really a big improvement to your previous pics! Still waiting on my QC for ARF GMT and now due to your pics really hard not to order one more:dribble:
