What is a factory? It's ZZF V2S ? It's so nice.

It is normal because only the Gen closure has a stop so that it does not crash. No rep takes that into account.

A Gen does not have a stop.... but it does have a slightly different dimension so that it doesn’t hit the bracelet with the center part

Noob is much better I have the panda and have wear it at least 5 times longer than the zzf hulk with much more opening and closing and the bracelet is spotless.
absolutely zero scratches.
zzf bracelet looks horrible after a month of use. It kind of makes me doubt it is really 904

What's that got to do with 904L?

It's steel and steel scratches its not like 904L is like ceramic.

As far as I know 904L is a bit softer and actually scratches more easily.

For the members that have BOTH the 116610 LV v2s and gen submariner (LN, LV, LB). Just like to know does the back side of the glidelock clasp of zzf's looks the same as gen's? I remember I read it somewhere in the forum that the back side of the glidelock clasp is plastic (I forgot was that particular post referring to ARF or ZZF, read hundreds of posts, don't really remember)

i think you mean the plastic piece inside the glidelock where the mechanism to change the size is.

zzf = plastic (?)
gen = a rubber like material (?)

i'm not 100% sure

Looks like ZZF updated the bezel teeth. It’s much closer to gen and not as sharp. I wish I waited to get this one. The sharp teeth really give it away imo. Also, the pearl marker changed as well. The distance from the top edge is a bit further but that makes the bottom closer to the edge. Looks good overall.

Sorry I meant to reply to the pics you replied to but I don’t know how. Still trying to get the hang of things here.

Bezel teeth are very close now. Pic below is a gen bezel on top with my V2s bezel below.

The chamfer is slightly different. Really close though. Impressive

Really frustrating as I bought a V2s as well but it doesn’t have this bezel, or the Y serial. The pearl marker and the possible hour marker ring change (thicker) is also really desirable. I literally missed it by a week or so. Do you know if I can buy the bezel separately or how I can get a bracelet that has better SELs? I’ve heard of better bracelets like ARF but how do I know it’ll have more accurate sels? Just wondering, all good if you’re not sure, thanks.
