After putting ARF bracelet on ZZF, the SEL became flat. So I’m trying to see if I can only use ZZF SEL and ARF rest of the bracelet.

Use the zzf bracelet and the arf clasp

bill33 and smoke I am very happy to hear that indeed this zzf has the movement notch like gen. And the vr3135. Kindly post a picture when and if you have the time. I assume with the 2 movement notches, this zzf uses screws instead of the archaic movement tabs to secure the movement in place? Pls confirm. TIA!

smoke And, oh, is it the same with the LN? If so, then this is indeed a major move in the right direction! Would be safe to say the rep community is in the ZZF era! I hope ZZF continues to listen to you and address the “visible minor tells” like the sharp bezel teeth ( I don’t think the gen bezel color can ever be repped). If so, V3 would be awesome!

smoke Nice one bro, really appreciate you always being there for us when we need an expert view. Looks like the ZZF Hulk is the new top dog. Guess it's time to upgrade.

smoke thanks for this review! Looks like ZZF is the go-to currently! If you’re rating the LV a 7.5, what would you say the LN is? Must be damn close right??

VaderTime aww.. Thanks for the info. The tool for removing bracelet is very expensive tho lol. Would be great if the links are changed to arf + the clasp.

Nice review my friend! One think I noticed the 30 on the insert is not aligned with the 6 o'clock marker I saw that on ARFs and other ZZFs aswell it's a strange flaw because iam not sure how this is even possible.

Great review Smoke.

Thank you, I have opted for the 116610LV over the 116610LN now!

That's a shame. I thought either botsyboy or someone else used an ARF bracelet on their ZZF V2 LN and the sel recession was great.

Wonder if its a variation of QC in the ZZF lugs, or the ARF bracelet..

I did this on my ZZF v2 LV. Post #84. And then look at botsyboy post 85 as I think that is the one you mean.

smoke Great review, thank you, you are very observant!

So this particular ZZF 116610LV that has been reviewed here is the V2 with the 3135 movement? Is this a better, more reliable movement than the old, reliable A2836?
I cannot find a ZZF V2 with A2836 movement. Are there any differences in quality/appereance between the ZZF V2 3135 and the ZZF V1 A2836?

Thank you and cheers!

Yup! So some ARF bracelet works but some doesn't? Or some ZZF lugs work but some doesn't? Ha.. No way to figure out which..

Quality review. Cheers for keeping the pictures at optimal viewing size. Wasn't squinting at my screen

Thanks smoke for this brilliant review - if my eyes are not fooling me, i think they also got the caseback right, as there is no 'step' from the case to the caseback. Its screwed in completely. Most factories never get this right and i love such tiny details.

Very true, it might be my watch’s qc issue or the ARF bracelet issue lol but the funny thing is, after putting the ZZF bracelet on my V9, it has the most perfect SEL recess lolol

30 aligns perfectly on my ZZF V2 LN Date, so I guess its not an overall flaw on every ZZF I guess
