I happen to find this listing available on Jtime. There wasn't any information available in the forum about this version, just wanted to check if someone has more information about this listing, prices seems to be quite attractive. Last time when i bought NOOB V10s Junior version turned out to be from a relatively unknown SKY factory instead of NOOB. Is the listing price too good to be true?

I would ask Jtime what "junior edition" means.

Surely, if it says ZZF then its ZZF - Is it because it's 316? If it weren't a TD then i'd say to stay away...... so another model to consider LOL.

Had a chat with Li now and he's saying the only difference is the steel material.

You can notice the D3R clasp code is new, also that's an amazing price including CF inserts.

316L Steel and CF inserts seems not a bad option at all... ZZF V3 had an ARF bracelet and it was decent enough.. Hope this one matches the same..

I for one dont give a crap about 904L steel. I cant tell the difference one single bit and when even comparing to right next to gen its very very hard to tell if its 316/904.

IF everything else is the same just this is 316L steel its a bargain and I might buy a LN version.

Not sure about this one since it says ZZF, but I purchased a NOOB / SKY Factory Hulk V10S and what I got for the price is pretty nice.

Recently on the Puretime 904L thread it was inferred that ZZF were using 316L all along in their ‘904L’ subs (except perhaps the v3 bracelet though I haven’t seen a test). If this were true, what’s the difference in this junior version and the V2s? Maybe just a way to offload them under a different guise?

If this is true then VSF has clearly won the battle.. Nevertheless, this deal seems too good to be missed. Would try a piece or two, lets see how shall it fare

After dieselgate we say: steelgate!

Do you post the link about the 3D where says the zzf doesn’t use 904L in his rep?

If the ZZF was using 316 anyway what’s the Junior version made out of? Iron?

You could either make them out of iron or...

...you could grab all your remaining v2 and v2s stock, call it Junior, put it at an astounding price and call it a day. At least these ones aren’t lying about the steel. Pisses me off a little bit as the resale value of my ZZF V2S has just plummeted thanks to it, haha. Not that I’m looking to sell, though (I absolutely love that watch).

Are they using all their old 316 cases!

since the v3 case wasn’t updated from the v2s, it looks probable that the ZZF subs are all 316 cases anyway! Again according to Puretime on the recent thread about this

Yeah you guys are probably right. With the ZZF 316L steel scandal they probably got a shitload of cases/bracelets all in 316L steel. This is probably all of those ones. If the dial/bezel/crystal etc...is ALL the same then its still a pretty sweet deal.

99% of ppl cant tell or feel the difference between 316 or 904. I might buy one of these.

So we find out how much the upcharge was for *stated* 904L. Nice gig if you can get it.
