116610LN - down to VSF and ZZF v3. Ultimate winner?

Smh, those are for flat plates of steel. The machining process for 904l is different which is why every hardness scale for 904l has a difference on it because of the changing properties when worked on.

What in the hell are you talking about? This is utter nonsense.

Care to prove and cite a source how 904L from Rolex is somehow different to "flat plates of steel 904L"? And why they have different properties yet still hold the same grade of steel?

Maybe you should ask your cousin selling luxury watches to professional wreckage divers who go deep sea diving with outdated gear about it?

Is the consensus to date that they could be a hair more recessed? for sure. Are they flush? No. That’s the difference.

They're not 100% flush. But it's very close, and it's one of those things I personally need in a rep. Especially one that's 90 dollars more than the rest. The SEL on a 519 dollar rep is an embarrassment and I'd never go for it.

And there you go, that was easy right? They aren’t flush.

I never once argued against that when questioned. Just that they are still terrible regardless. If you want to consider semantics a victory good for you. I never disagreed. They are still garbage.

Lol hyperbole for the win then I guess.

 

[Yogibear]

LOL.

Edit - not saying they don't have a Rolex - but to use it on a dive in a professional capacity? No. Just no.

My point wasnt they use a rolex as a technical piece of equipment, but do they take them on dives?.. of course! And again I'm not talking about rig workers or recreational divers teaching tourists.

What’s wrong with these sels then as you are such an authority on the subject and have of course handled every model to give an informed response!!

Would they dive with a Rolex ? Hell yah, they do.. and they do stick another dangling dive computer or I have also seen people wearing on both the hands.

Would they do on every dive and it is useful? Hell no, divers are generally not so well off and they to treasure their piece of Steel and they rather sport the watch to a bar than diving.

I would comfortably wear a VSF Sub LN into a watch dealer.. and i'd put it on the green suede mat thing while I try on something real. I would be confident that is the sales assistant picked it up he would not have any idea it was a rep unless he was a member of this forum and is a superrep savant. Even then he would be guessing. It looks and feels real.

Let me try this with my VSF Hulk in another country when this Covid crap wanes off, embarrassment (if really happens) wouldn't matter.

Yea sorry, when you buy a rolex they send you a flat piece of steel saying "figure it out".

You're absolutely full of shit.

"904L is different when Rolex deals with it!!! Just believe me!"

What's the point of lying on the internet to look cool?

Wow... another guy butthurt I don't like their DHGate end link level ZF rep. Why can't you ZFers just acknowledge not everyone likes your reps. Bunch of babies, honestly.

You tried to get a gotcha moment pretending it's Rolex then posted in the ZF topic about your rep then back to pretending it's Rolex. ZF buyers are really petty.

That isn’t a ZF pal. I was testing and you failed!

Am I the only one who doesn't like the VSF LN insert? Imo it's a huge step back compared to the clean insert. The pearl is bright white and also the shape of the pearl is way off and much better on the clean LN insert.. or am I wrong??

Right... you initially called it Rolex and if I said it's amazing you'd have said it's a ZF. It's clearly a ZF, stop being petty and butthurt and enjoy your ZF. Not everyone needs to like what you like.

This is ZF

Previous pic is a 2018 gen I had last year and used the pic for reference!

Jesus Christ, the SEL recession there is even worse. This is only strengthening my opinion that ZF is a waste of money. Thank you.
