It is prototype. Looking good, we need smoke expertise. For me the lugs are great and not boxy

Insert looks interesting. You cant capture the true colour on a photograph, but it looks like it has a metallic quality - not the flat tone most reps have.

Lugs and Crown guards look great. Insert is the same as CF but not the "dirty" pearl at 12. Dial IS indeed a CF with fixed "x". Hands are looking sharp and OK. Will buy this one.

Oh I do - Puretime oftentimes put up prototypes on their blog section.
Angus used to do it more on his page here on RWI though...

When the ARF Submariner was announced at the end of March in 2018 it was similarly rough.

What I meant is what you see now thats what youll get. It can only get worse

I’d buy it just for the case. They have managed to do the one thing no other manufacturer has figured out yet. Look at the serial number - they finally used the correct font.

Agreed. But I already just bought a Noob v10 case for my build :( The lugs on the ZF is definitely better though.

The rest of the parts are CF parts which ZZF is already using.

If ZF is what it is promised to be, it will definitely be a step up to the ZZF.
ZF seems to have fixed many of the common ZZF complaints - like CG shape, rehuat serial number issues, lugs, better bracelet/clasp, better pearl color (more white).

To be honest, given the history of the current factories (like ZZF, Noob, ARF etc.) - I find the ZF to be "too good to be true". Need to see real life samples first.

We all hope so bro. I mean Noob couldnt make square hour markers correctly for like 15 versions, ARF couldnt make anything except bracelet.... I would just feel sorry for myself if id buy it

I think Kobe mentioned same insert but custom pip, and different dial.

Vr3135 is becoming the normal across several factories and no clue about hands. Crystal is supposed to be improved Vs pics
