Hi guys
Happy New Year to you all.
It has been a long time that I did not post any reviews here, but today I would like to bring you guys some news to have a fun reading.
Clean Factory has took over and acquired ZZF fully and just released a series of new submariner models themselves, and they made upgrades on ZZF 114060 V3 and 116610 V3, as well as released brand new 116613 two tone Submariners.
Looks like the "Submariner Competition" is going very hot at the moment.
I wont say too much my own point of views about the products this time, but will post a lot of real comparison pictures so that you guys can have a thorough look on them yourselves.
But since there will be a lot of pictures in this thread, so please be a bit more patient on reading lol.
Let's get down to the pictures now.
The Main Characters of this review as follow:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First part, they have upgraded the green insert to V4 now.
From the Clean Factory told, they have added some precious metal component based on V3 insert while they were making this V4 insert, same as genuine insert component.
As a result, the color will be a slightly yellowish even closer to genuine insert.
Also, they have adjusted the engraved markers plating color as well, it wont look any pale any more but more sliver.
Based on what factory told, this version might be the ultimate version.
Ok, let's go to see some comparison pictures.
There is no much I can tell about this insert since many members are quite familiar with Clean Factory insert.
But one thing about the pearl I would like to mention, based on the closed-up pictures and the real insert I saw, Clean Factory still has the best pearl.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second part, the hulk 116610 LV comparison pictures will be as follows:
Date window comparison vs Gen as follow, left ones are genuine and right ones are Clean Factory:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third part, the black 116610/114060 LN comparison pictures will be as follows:
(Sorry, I do not have genuine 116610 LN in hand at the moment, so those comparisons are with a genuine 114060)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fourth part, full SS bracelet comparison as follow:
Will have to say, this 1LD code ARF bracelet is still the top one in this business.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fifth part, the 116613 LB insert details and comparison as follow:
In general, from what I saw personal, this blue/gold insert color is slightly purplish very close to genuine, also the engraved markers color is nice too.
It could be the best blue/insert on the market.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sixth part, details of the two tone bracelet as follow:
As we can see, this bracelet is gold plated based on the 1LD code ARF bracelet.
And edge/side of the middle links are all plated with gold color, which is much better than many other factories versions.
Here is a bracelet full parts disassembled as follow (before gold plating):
In order to have gold color plated on edge/side of the middle links, Clean Factory has to plate every single middle links which is much more costly.
Also as the arrow pointed, the SEL on this bracelet has been updated to same structure as genuine as a separate middle link, so that they can ensure to plate the gold to side of the middle link on the SEL.
Pictures as follow:
Another factory sample FYI as follow:
The SEL is as a full part instead of separate links combined together.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rest parts will go into comment section coz can not update so many pictures in one thread.
