I have to agree. Of course gen is gen, but ARF does a nice clear cyclops.

Looks really nice that, i have the same. The gen clyclops has a brushed/sanded edge all around, that makes the cyclops stand out further. My watchsmith will be doing this for me, he doesn't know yet lol, will post pics when done.

I know what a black hole effect is my friend, I need to know the condition which I can recreate this effect, your pics only showing how the black hold effect looks like. I need to know the lighting environment like where the light source is, and which direction the watch should face and the camera dorection.

No worries no need more pics, I will try when I have all the watches. Thanks again

Hi Puretime,

The gen sapphire is crystal clear AR coated on both sides of the crystal, only where the cyclops sits. The cyclops is also brush/sanded all the way around the edge.

Wrong. The new Rolex saphire is AR coated on the inside - the whole sapphire.

RXF/VSF crystal looks better IMHO, but you can't really tell until you hold it in your hands...

Nearer than you think
RXF/VSF looks so much better, pretty distinct Halo effect and separation between crystal and cyclops, some weird color reflections but could be the different light in the pictures

Black hole on gen is distinctive, even at low level lighting in these pics. Rxf seems to look the better. Any danger of VS3135 pic?

I know you said this is the RXF crystal, but on what watch? Is this a first hands on with the VSF LV?

It’s the RXF LV, I have the VSF LN with me only

Ohhhh! I thought they weren't going to release any more RXFs, I thought they would all be marketed as VSFs from now on. So the RXF runs a 2824 again? Are they available now?

Thanks btw!

ZF VS GEN VS VSF

I personally think ZF DW is better, ZF ar reflection color is more close to genuine, black hole effect is similar. Just my own opinion.
