Bezel and Dial Review of ZZF V2S 116610LV Submariner and Comparison vs. Gen, ARF V3 and Noob V10

[2841]

Si if I have a stock ZZF v2s and change crown... then I would have a “Franken”?

Technical yeah, if you change to a gen crown

 

[2841]

Forget to mention gen hands and serviced movement plus water proofed to 400M

You got it pressure tested to 40 atm? That's impressive

That is very impressive. What works was done?

i got one with a gen gasket and crystal. I’ve just greased all the o rings, but haven’t had it tested yet

Received my QC pics and looks pretty good for me - one question I have however, does the bottom SEL look off to you guys? Or is it the TD is holding? I am interested to hear your expert thoughts.

Hi All,

Received my QCs today. All looks good apart from I think the bottom SEL is a bit off with a smile gap on the side closest to crown? I am keen to hear your expert thoughts.



Thanks

Looks fine mate. You got a good one there. It’s just the angle TD is holding it at like you said

Did anybody measured v2s waterproofness level OOTB?

I went to a swimming pool yesterday. I have been swimming with it and submerging it for about an hour, also I put it directly in front of the pressurised water coming out of the jacuzzi. It survived all of those tests positively. It is quite solid, must be over 5 ATM easily. Curious if anybody tested with the watchsmith tool and what the result was.

I am also very curious to see if anybody did do a pressure test OOTB. I asked my TD and he said it's best to get tested which I guess is their response just in case anything goes wrong and we did not pressure test.

Scroll couple of posts up and you'll see a pressure test pic to 400M / 40ATM.

I saw this - but this was a franken build? From what I can see, the owner had gen crystal and datewheel

never trust OTB waterproof, it's risky ,could be all fine, could be a mess

Better get it waterproof first

Thanks for the advice - I will most definitely do this as a first instance then.

My V2 No Date is tested waterproof until 10am... next time i go to Sauna und steambath as well as Swimming ... i'll take some picutres.

In regards to waterproofing.

Since there is no "industry standard" with rep watches, it's not important what other people achieve in regards to waterproof testing.

Out the box, you could get a ZZF that can easily do 10-15 atm, you could also get one that would take water in while you're washing your hands

ALWAYS have YOUR watch pressure tested, and don't rely on other peoples results.

Sauna is a killer beware. If its around 90C its enough for metal to start expanding. Then jump straight into ice cold water and you have moist under your crystal the next day.

May or may not happen but has happened to me once after giving it many tries.
