Some Gen rolex had that ugly blue/greenish tint, other ones are more blue/white. No Idea why they copied that its just.... ZF did a better job on there crystal but i just can't get over the dimble i saw in pictures/videos i really don't like it. It ruins the whole Dial for me no idea why some Gen owner bought it that way, would never pay 8k for a dimble in the middle.

A large dimple is ugly which have seen on early zzfs, but the zf I have has barely in drop to the centre. It's not noticeable, a non issue.

For me its an issue but i don't bash the ZF because like i said the early 2014 Gens has it too. For me i just can't stand it :D other people just can't stand the misplaced "R" on the VSF Rehaut which i saw on every QC Pic of the LN except for one posted here (also i saw plenty of thin and fat datewheels).

It really depends on with which flaw you can life the most. So no hate against the ZF or ZZF version it is just not the right version for me :)

Gen here i can't beleive somebody pay 8k (Retail price) for that? Seems like it only must stand Rolex on it and its ok. They fixxed it on later year versions btw.

ZF Version:


Same flaw. Its from a yoku video which i downloaded plenty of them because i dont want to use the stupid app of them :D and no its not the camera he uses you can see it clearly in the video. The rest of the ZF i really life but that dimple flaw its just not for me.

That's a qc issue not a feature. I don't think any factory is intentionally putting a big dimple in the centre but it can happen even in gen. The reality is light at the right angle will amplify what could be tiny.

What a pleasant discussion. Some on here get their noses so out of joint. You'd think someone had insulted their mother.

I didn't felt insulted? I just said i can't live with that flaw thats it. Rest of the ZF i like no idea where your problem is now? Like i said some people can't live with the VSF misaligned Rehaut or the Cyclops and i can't live with that issue. If you can live with it totally fine.

Also you don't need to quote me with all the pictures makes the whole thread longer than it should be just tag me or remove the pictures.

I wasn't talking about you. Quite the opposite

I'm going to agree with the VSF comments. I've been lurking on this forum for about two years now and watching the reps improve for the better. The VSF sub is impressive especially compared to the Noob V6 that was around when I first got into reps.

I played you a compliment I wasn't being sarcastic. Then I pointed out that others have a problem discussing things. You read my post all wrong.

Does anyone know if the Noob bezel insert will fit the ZZF V3? I have a spongebob plat bezel on my v7 and am thinking if it'll be a direct swap between the two

My apologies if anyone is waiting on my comparison but I cancelled my order for the ZZF and am sticking with VSF. I initially had a hard time choosing but with further posts lately it seems VSF is definitively ahead. Better crown guards, clearer crystal, no/less dimple in the dial, and I have seen posts on the ZZF V3 insert bezel fading fast while none from VSF owners (as of yet). While the VSF bezel may fade it's not as fast as ZZF's by a long shot.

I believe VSF is the best overall purchase and that is what I am sticking with.

I really don't want to get into another huge debacle with you here but this is a very ironic post coming from you. I treated you with civility from the start and have spoken my opinion in a pleasant manner. I have made my opinions from various photos and videos like Tigerdragon did. Yet you started getting nasty and made up plenty of lies cause I was not fond of your product with just as much civility and knowledge as him. YOU were the one that got nasty outlandishly. Don't flip the script on others for what you have done yourself.

Ha I wasn't even referring to you there buddy. That's done, I was actually referring to someone getting very defensive on another thread because of a comment I made which was not personal just an opinion. After all that's what we are here for different points of view. We don't have to agree in fact it's better if we don't.

Good old ZF dimple. Why do factories not follow the market and see how ZZF got roasted over this?

I don’t even notice the dimple anymore. I just wear the watch and enjoy how superior it is to anything else! Hahaha!

YellowFin they just coping mindlessly the flaws of the gen lol sometimes really unbelievable.

The funny thing is, you have to search through a loooot of images on the Internet to find a single gen where the dimple is even close to what ZF is doing. I almost can't believe both ZZF and ZF had gens in their hand that looked that bad...
