got QC (first one got seized by customs). Only doubt i have is the marker on the bezel, it seems off. Or is this too much nitpicking?

I finally received my V2S today !

The claps code has been corrected on mine and it's in capital letter ("C4R"). The rehaut engraving still displays "ROLEX X".

The dial is greener than expected, I will post pictures later :)

Correct my if I am wrong, but should the clasp code not be "c4r" instead of "C4R" at the v2s?

I have the same setup and love it.

Love it. I think it's perfect short the $3k on a gen dial and $3 on a gen insert.

Someone on another thread asked for some more side by side shots of my ARF V3 vs. my gen. So here they are. :D Sunburst pretty much the same on both if I get them at exactly the same angle - which is difficult to do as one slight movement changes the angle of one or the other.






On the LB, the hands and dial markers look like they’re the WG/Stainless from most of the angles. That’s why I personally don’t like the rubber b on a two tone. You need those ya centerlinks to accent the yellow gold more.

but looks sharp.

Yeah, really depends on the angle. The issue I had with the two tone bracelet is it was just too "flashy" for everyday wearing (which I do) and kinda says "hey I'm a Rolex, come steal me". The Rubber B really tones it down a bit yet the two tone on the case/dial adds to the look. The beauty of it is I have gotten good enough that I can change the band is about a minute so I can put the two tone back on for those nights on the town. ;)

The CGs are a dead giveaway though. As are the sels. They are either really tight and well fitting, but with insufficient depression, or has good depression but with visible gaps especially when placed against the light.

What CGs mean?

That's why the reps are gold (no pun intented), can be worn with much less stress. I take out my gens primarily to office or special occasions.

Crown guards, and no, they are not a dead giveaway:) The SELS are perfect too, exactly like my gen. But there are always differences in batches, that’s why we have quality control pics

All reps have flaws, but that's the beauty of it. It allows each of us to make our own decision with regards to which flaws we can live with and which we can't. For me, I agree with others that say the crown guards are a dead giveaway on the ZZF. And as far as the bracelet goes, many have reported that they are changing to an ARF as the bracelet just isn't as good as quality as the ARF. Don't get me wrong, the ZZF is a great rep with a great dial and insert. I just can't get past the crown guards.

Today I have Noob V10 Hulk, I like it, but the dial of the ZZF V2S looks amazing, do you think there's a merge I could do to make it closer to gen?

I received mine today and it's truly an impressive watch. It's the first time that I order a ZZF and the hype is real - honestly it's extremely well built, best crystal with mag on a rep I've handled, great markers and hands. However it's too green for me so I will let it go. Here are some pictures of mine received today :
