Just arrived. Some bad penmanship on my part on these showing which is which, but the 16 date is the v2s and the 18 date is my v1. V1 has an ARF bracelet, which I think I will move just the clasp as the ZZF v2s bracelet looks to fit slightly better on the watch

Thanks for the comparison, impressive improvement on the insert !!! Well done ZZF

Thanks for sharing the comparison. Clean Factory literally blow every other factories out of water with this release. Can't wait to receive my insert

I am not sure if I will say "CF literally blow every other factories". The Noob v10 case is still better shaped and ARF v3 has the better bracelet, gen like bezel teeth, hands and probably the crystal. I think the biggest advantage (and it also happens to be the crown jewel of the Hulk Model) is the Insert+Dial - this is where CF shines.

At this point (excluding Gen parts), the ideal Hulk is - ZZF v2s with Noob v10 case and ARF bracelet/hands/crystal/bezel ring.

On to ZZF v3...

Agree !

The best out of the box for me it's zzf v2s, but it depends what is your priority! But for me the most important (on this hulk watch) is the insert and dial

Zzf could improve hands and bracelet on v3 but will it be real ? Dunno lol don't know why but I think they gonna make it worse lol.

​​But I tempted to buy an v3A LN to mix them together !

Why do the new Sub reps all use flip lock clasps when the Gen Subs use glide lock clasps? The glide lock is superior for adjusting the bracelet on the fly.

Does gen bracelet fit on ZZF?
It should right?

In case baby oil does not help to bring ZZF bracelet in better shape I would use my gen bracelet.

Exactly my feeling ;) He doesn't want to mention the dealer and the price. But he keeps posting about it...

Teasing is good. CF will release this at a time. But I can say price is going to be 200usd+. I got mine for under, but did a great deal with my dealer.

It was also for sharing the insert color from my QC-pics, just for eye-candy.

Slightly confused here, bare with me :) The A3135 movement thats in the v2s is the "correct" clone movement right, where the crown sits at the correct level?

With regards to the dial and bezel. It would be great if someone who has both the new ZZF and an ARF V3 could give us their opinion on the differences between the two dials and insert.I realize there are pics on page 1, but depending on the angle and lighting, the ARF dial looks very close to the gen and ZZF. Some not so much - but again angles and lighting play a big factor. Viewing through ones eyes and not a camera lens at different angles and lighting would be great. ;)

Soooo, thats a yes? or is there a difference between A3135 and VR 3135?

I asked Li this question. Here’s what he responded:

Me: Just to clarify is VR3135 the same as Super Asia 3135? What does the VR mean?

Li: “it is a made-up name as I know, it is called VR3135 because VRF is the first factory started using this 3135 movement”

I applaud your courage to share these pics bro, and your ability to overlook this little deviation. I'm not sure I would be so accepting, even now (or maybe especially now) that Ive been on the waiting list for a gen Hulk for 26 months.
