Looks good!

What’s wrong with the clasp and how bad is it? I recently handled a V2S hulk and didn’t noticed anything odd with the clasp

When you are taking the watch of your wrist and unlocking the clasp does it feel stiff? I find I have to really dig my nail in to unlock it. Very different than gen.

i don't know, but to me this watch looks better than most of the photos here of the zzf, the rehaut is way better looking than the zzf and the dial has nice darkening.

I agree with you. But there are a lot of folks (especially on this thread) that prefer the ZZF and that's ok. I for one prefer the ARF V3 for many reasons (better bracelet, better rehault, better hands, better bezel feel and movement etc.). The dial color and insert may not be quite as good as the ZZF, which most focus on on this thread, but it's still pretty damn good.

All reps have their flaws, you just need to pick the one with the flaws you can live with the most.

Agree mate. And 1 from me, the number on insert is not fade like zzf.
try to wear zzf for 3days only n you can see the number is fading. You have to clean it all the time, with tooth paste n warm water.
but to be honest, i like zzf insert green color. I already order zzf v2s, i will only take the insert n do a little bit mod for the number on the insert, so i dont have to clean it every 3days.
movement from arf is good, been wearing almost a week. Running smooth n accurate.
dial is not as dark as zzf, but acceptable, the shine, the green n quality of arf finishing is beautiful to me,,, of course this is only my opinion. Others can have their opinion as well , i dont mind at all.
Just choose what flaw that u can live with it, n you will be happy...
Cheers :)

Ps : i have bought CF V2, its fading . But i dont know if CF V2S is fading as well. If not, im sorry about it. Maybe its only happen to me

Yup. It’s the same for my ZZF sub V2s. It’s a bit stiff to unlock the clasp. It will become little easier over time but still stiffer than gen

Sorry to break it to you but there's just zero difference between the insert marker colour in ARF and ZZF.

Sorry for the crappy pics.

That’s just because you’re new and don’t know what’s wrong with it.
You are correct, I was going to order arf, but after reading and researching for the last two weeks finally I order today the zzf v2s, I hope
my QC to be good. Not planning to do any improvements will wear it the way it is out of the box.

Good choice I actually got the ARF V3 first and than ordered ZZF V2 date to compare. Sold the ARF and got the ZZF no date as well and now have two ZZFs in rotation. They're good OOTB and once you wear it, stare at it, read some more you can always mod it later on if somethings starts to bother you once you learn more.

Make sure you do a good job with the QC (everything is aligned, no crooked markers). SELs are hit and miss I guess with ZZF one of mine has perfect gen like recess and the other not so but I can always swap the bracelets if needed.
