I was debating between this and the ZZF V3 and RXF, looks like this one is the winner. Nice piece OP

Congrats OP it looks great, I’ve just accepted my QC. This will be my first 6 digit sub and for the price you can’t go wrong!



Yours looks great as well! So far all the QC’s I’ve seen have been relatively good.

I think these look very good. I still prefer my RXF taking price into account, but these are very nice certainly.

Are there any Gen hands experts subscribed to this thread? If so, are these hands a bit flat maybe?

I’m Wondering the same, in the qc video in the other thread it appears there is some curvature to them. The lights didn’t glance off them like my ZZF although It wasn’t the best picture quality video and so was hard to see. Angus has also said they have been ‘improved’ for this model

The hands on the new ZZFs are really nice indeed.

Your RXF has a nicer DW for sure. The case on both the vs3135 and rxf is same and is nice, the CGs let the zzf down a little.


I have the VSF en-route to me now, so I’ll post pictures of hands when it arrives with me.

Does anybody know if that white sticker with the handwritten number is the order number? I rejected my QC and the next watch has the same handwritten number. I'm wondering if it's the same watch and they just adjust things or took pictures from a different angle.

Should be your order number.

This made me change my order from ZZFv3 to VSF3135. :) Looking forward to have a look at the movement as well, comparing it to my VR3135.

I also did the same mate...cancelled my ZZF V3 n opted for this..hope I took the correct decision!!!

Does the date window and cyclops look crooked to you guys, and is the date left justified?
Is the text supposed to appear as OFFICIALLY or OFFICIALL-Y?
The last few QC pics that we've seen (namely from GeekTime) show the former and yet on his website his product images shows the latter.
OP has QC shooing the latter.

Date window and cyclops are not crooked. There is a little more white showing on the right side of the date numerals. This is as it should be at the view angle used. See post below for explanation.

Are my eyes deceiving me?

IIRC, dials with bold SUBMARINER text should have the little space before the Y in OFFICIALLY.

I try not to get too wrapped up in that anomaly, especially after seeing the other anomalies in those two lines of text.

I don't recall ever seeing this discussion in any Sub threads, but it was recently talked about in a GMT thread. There is uneven letter spacing near the end of CHRONOMETER. The letter C in OFFICIALLY and the letters ED in CERTIFIED are TALLER that the other letters. Also the letter F and even the last I in CERTIFIED look taller on many dials.

Look closely at some gen dials, they have it too. The rep dial makers have tried to copy these anomalies exactly.

I noticed this after reading your post about the uneven text.
Wondering if there are different batches of the VSF, as there are two different dials.
Jtime's QC looks more evenly spaced and no weird height difference for the 'C' and 'ED' letters.
