So im not gonna bore you guys with a full detailed review on the ln version but I will for the hulk as we have all see the ln plenty of times
but here are some of the key features of this watch

1 the dial is SICK the print layout and markers look gen maybe the markers are gold plated.
2. The insert Is SICK the plat look gen it must be real plat the number and font are amazing the black is inky as hell.the pearl is the only tell
3. the sel is SICK recessed on all 4 sides evenly on both my zzf hulk and ln examples and I didnt even get any qc pics.
4.the lugs are not as bad as I was expecting not perfect but better than the arf boxy shit

Arf bracelet fits well but no need as the zzf and arf bracelets look and feel the same.the arf clasp is way way better in terms of looks and aesthetics
but the clasps work well

Hands are ok arf still better with the 3d look

Datewheel font is good and centred on both of my examples.will look fine under a gen xtal


Now the pics

Gen on the right

Sel is perfectly recessed on all sides

Lugs are nice sharp and angled pretty well. Not perfect though as they should curve more on the flanks

The LN looks absolutely fabulous, what do you think about the ceramic insert on the LV? Up until now all of the Hulk reps were way off regarding the shade of green.

smoke Thanks for the review can’t wait for the Hulk one.

How does the rep feel compared to the gen? Apparently its lighter due to the bracelet width being slightly smaller. Is there a big difference when handling both?

No they ain't good.but I can see what the factory tried to do they are replicating the 2019 bezel assembly. The teeth loom like a 2019 gen .but a bit too pointed

Glad you like it and you got 2 decent examples Smoke, happy to see my eyes aren’t deceiving me, the ZZF is the best out the box sub right now.

I bought mine just to see one in the flesh and because ARF started advertising the GMT was ready when it clearly wasn’t so I changed my order to the ZZF sub, was going to sell it but I’m so impressed I’m keeping it.

I have a spare V6s bezel at home that I might install on it due to the sharp teeth, I might try the SD43 wet and dry paper mod first though, got a prof crystal on the way too.
