Ahhhh okay, that slight slant on the outside of the CGs? I see it, thank you. I'd only ever see it in this sort of freeze frame, macro, side by side way though - you must have bionic eyes to pick up on that in normal photos/life!

The crown guards have a different cut on a 2836 because the crown height is lower, the CG's are more closed. They are more open and genuine like with a 3135 because the crown height is higher. Have a look at a 2836 and then the exact same watch from the same factory with a 3135..

Agree, IRL when I had my ARF if was very hard to see case difference to my friends Genthey are never static or in exactly same lighting angle when together

I'm looking forward to buy a 114060 NoDate. Now my question: Is the A2836 movement better than the 3135 movement in the Date Version? Is a movement like the A2836 with its date-function maybe a problem? Should I look for another factory (maybe Noob V11 if this will be available as nodate?) or just go with the zzf v3?

Thanks Buddys!

No.
No. Maybe in terms of crown and/or crown guards.
Depends on what flaws you are willing to accept.

If you ask like this: Rep movements are always a risk.
A2836 can be replaced with a presumably more reliable gen movement.

No. Those 2 reps have a 2836, look at the crown height. There’s 5 splines above the case on those and 7 splines above the genuine one.
2836 crown guards are closed, 3135 are more opened up. On a genuine Sub they are open almost all the way around the crown.
lim going to leave it there, if you can’t see it that’s great, ignorance is bliss.

I want to buy 116610ln, but dont know what is better. Take zzf v3 with + gen-like dial, bezel insert, perfect hands and hour markers, bracelet. With - cg, wrong rehaut number, pearl.
Or take new Vsf. Not good dial, hands, hour markers, dont know about bracelet.
What You can say?

what do you mean with wrong rehaut number?

I’ve ordered the v3 zzf, to me it‘s the best out of of the box atm.

I’m glad I can’t see the differences!

Okay, so just go with the ZZF v3 NoDate? Those millimeters in difference at the CGs height are not an instant tell. You have too look really close, so I really don't mind. I even think only one person of thousand would think the watch is not a gen. Even those M-town "wrist busters" here in Germany would struggle to bust some of the good reps I guess. Maybe I'll try on them :D
