Review of Upcoming RXF New Submariner 116610 LN and Comparison

[TLW77]

Is it just me or the 12 hour marker is a bit crooked?

It looks like it’s on a 20 year old HEL bracelet with those gaps all around.

Those aren't gaps bro, you're seeing the inside of the top of the lug due to a nice recess.

Is a no date version coming out trustytime ?

RXF Factory said that they have plans to release the hulk and no date version in future, and also 3135 movement.

That’s great! Looking forward to their new releases

Makes sense. Silly of me to overlook that.

That’s why things always look worse in photos. My First ARF was similar, had great recess braclet but never looked quit like that in pics. in person almost no gap.

But often you seen qc look this way and you can see through a gap between lug and SEL when back lit. I think it’s a bit of both. So I look forward to kennyG pics so we can dismiss it either way totally

I've been wondering this for a while what everybody is talking about. People are accustomed to the usual Noob flush SELs and now after good recess SELs everybody says nah this is crap. Gens look like that due to the recess and so do my ZZFs with good recess SEL bracelets although there are no gaps.

I like a good recess but keep in mind that even SEL on years-worn gen with stretched bracelets are ugly!

Then there’s gens that go into service and the rebrushing from Rolex takes off metal from the lugs and the SELs lose their recess altogether

I actually like the look of a years worn ceramic sub. Stretched bracelet, a bit fading / flacking insert, some dents and scratches. Makes the watch look like its seen some adventures here and there and been used like its intended to. Has some good history with the owner.

Took the bait. Really love the RXF! The crystal and cyclops is insane, good recess ++ GL

So does it top the ZZF V2?

I like these a lot. No dial dimples or X flaw. Nice glass. Great SEL recess and no gaps. Reasonable price. Looking good so far.

Cyclop too blue ... look like Noob V5 in 2015

Good SEL no X flaw.... what about the black hole effect? Please drop a LV or no date version soon. Keen to know about the quality of the bracelet too..

This is a very clean Sub, i like the markers a lot and even if the cyclop has a blue tint the date is very clear and nice !
This is good to see some nice recessed SEL like that

 

[muiramas]

R factory have had blue AR on their cyclops from time to time. This came up a couple of years ago on the ARF thread.

I have updated post 2 with some links and bracelet comparison pics.

More pics will be uploaded for reference.

Cheers!
