Noted, thanks for the advice!

i’m looking to build a hybrid of the 2, would you know if it would be a straight forward plug and play to fit the midcase to movement or may require some modding?

From what i understand it should be plug and play

sorry just asking if anyone has ever successfully did a hybrid of the following?

ZZF v2s dial + movt assembly
ZZF v2s bezel + insert assembly
ARF donor midcase+bracelet
Gen DW + Gen Crystal

Use search function and double-check the posts about Gen Crystal on ARF mid-case, not everyone has succeded.

I saw in a recent sales thread a known and experienced watchmaker on the thread had an issue setting the ZZF bezel on an ARF case. But idk to what extent

Gotta say, I never saw myself with a Hulk and I was always against getting a nonETA movement for a sub, but seeing how good this rep is from all of your guys' pictures are making me second guess everything.

Looks like the “XX” serial number on the rehaut has been fixed on the latest batches! Looks a lot better in my opinion

Oh cool indeed it looks really good.

They have made many small corrections now the X on the dial and X on the rehaut + some other minor things both on LN date / no date and LV and I just received two of them with all those flaws 1-2 months ago. This makes me wan't to flip those and get two new ones with all the fixed details.

Wow and the bezel teeth look better! The cgs on these pics look more correct but maybe because of the plastic on top. These are crazy good ootb

Love the rehaut now.looks like they improved the rehaut shelf finish aswell.so next they need to fix the insert pearl colour. Improve The cg and lugs they should just copy the new vrf mid case

The rehaut is better as it is now a Y instead of an X. The spacing of the serial is still out though. Don’t know why they can’t fix that. For those who are not aware the word ROLEX on the rehaut should be in line with the minute indices whereas the serial number at the bottom should be between.

GreenGrocer - are your pics of the ZZF v2S?

They are a pics of what I ordered as ZZF v2s c.a. 3 weeks ago. I got the new QC just today, as I rejected the initial QC so this is the second watch. If this is now to be labeled as "v3" I have no clue.

ZZF v2s pictures on a walk!
Insert is better irl than pictures.

I completely agree with this. Received my V2S recently, and the thin blading effect in the photos is not as prominent to the naked eye... under direct sun the dial looks more gen-like than in the photos.
