Gen crown. Gen datewheel. Gen crystal.

Buddy give it a rest, you are really starting to bore me. You can study your macros all day, and you can make up all the problems that you want in your own head. But both ZZF’s I’ve had did not have an hour hand that was different from gen, whether you like it or not.

Your self-delusion aside, please don't call me buddy. I want no association with you whatsoever, thank you very much.

But yes, let's both give it a rest and let the thread continue on as before.

:lmao: Buddy... Sounds like it's hard for you to accept that these watches comes with variations. Stating FACTS when it comes to reps is generally a bad idea.

The only facts is, that you have found a flaw locking at pictures on the internet.... In real life that flaw does not exist on my watch.

Now listen closely, really focus! I'm not saying that you are wrong, i'm saying that your discovery is not a guaranteed generalisation on all ZZFs leaving the factory. Hence not a fact.

I agree, there is no point in arguing over this anymore, life is simply to short.

Have a great day buddy :thumbup:

Sigh.. FYI, I have 3 ZZFs and a gen. Its not just "from looking at pictures on the Internet".

But yeah. Let's just forget it.

Anyone with a ZZF V2s hulk find the crown very difficult to operate? There’s times I really struggle to get it to either the date or time setting. Then sometimes it’s very easy but absolutely zero consistency in regards to placement and pressure in order to move it. It’s extremely frustrating and I know one of these days I’m gonna damage the movement/crown stem.

Obviously the ZZF was over-praised by one of the dealers. The upcoming ZF seems more promising and it also incorporates the same CF V3 insert.

that is for sure. this one dealer went far and beyond about the subs from zzf, i don't see any other dealer doing that for a single factory.

i have no date noob v10, but after reading so much about zzf i decide to give my noob to my nephew and got the no date zzf, well guess what i kept my noob and the no date zzf went to my nephew.
i got over exited again about reading of the zzf v2s hulk and ordered i got the updated X, serial and bracelet with the capital C4R. a week ago, but still i like much better the feeling of the noob v10 no date sub than any of this 2 zzf subs. i cannot tell which one the closest to gen, but definitely in my hand i like much better the noob.
i have never handle any of the new gen subs, i only use to have and wear for many years gen the no date 5 digit sub.

Zzf CF V3 bezel is improvement, i like it alot. But after some time that i wear zzf v2s hulk, the dial is not "that awesome" . Noted : this is only my opinion, i dont want to get risk to get bullied or scold by zzf fans here because i share my opinion. This is zzf dial compare to arf v3 dial. The darker one is arf.

Since i already bought gen dw and gen crystal, im thinking to go franken to 116610LN, which is cheaper to buy gen insert, gen dial and gen hands than to buy gen hulk dial.
Movement of ZZF is awesome, still accurate though

Did anybody measured v2s waterproofness level OOTB?

I went to a swimming pool yesterday. I have been swimming with it and submerging it for about an hour, also I put it directly in front of the pressurised water coming out of the jacuzzi. It survived all of those tests positively. It is quite solid, must be over 5 ATM easily. Curious if anybody tested with the watchsmith tool and what the result was.

I'm not a zzf fan (bit still I've just bought a v2s "updated", the one with new serial and corret x on the dial)
Just wanted to understand, are zzf using CF dial ? Should be' the best on the market aside ofcourse gen..I read about it in some comparison here, for example there was this pic

Yes ZZF is using CF insert and dial.

What exactly do you mean by this? Are you referring to the engraving quality?

I think i can chime in on this. The engraving is not as accurate (the whole rehaut) and the serial alignment/spacing is not correct. Another thing is that all ZZFs serial starts with either a X or Y (updated) which is quite an easy tell for someone that knows reps, whereas gen has a completely random 8 digit alphanumeric.
