Nobody so far mentioning crystal of v2s.
In gen vs. v2s comparison, v2s looked bit strange.
Any comments on that?

All sub rep crystals are bad, some of these zzf look Better than others always worth changing if you can, only mods I’d do on this watch is gen hands and Xtal

I think gen crystal makes dial clearer and darker,from comparison pictures we can see that whole dial have lower contrast like milky look,hands dial and markers looks less vibrant

I’m not a nitpicking guy but a gen xtal is a must have imo.



Gen hands installed would be hot af on this watch. But you mean xtal I guess?

Yeah, I meant gen crystal. Actually, I upgraded both hands/crystal to gen (I think they are both must haves for this model).

It does go dark but dark and green at the same time is the issue.

do you think 116610LN ZZF V2 is more gen like? i’m very conflicted about the whole thing: i ordered a 116010LV thinking it was very close to gen one but after last comparison i’ve doubts if it’s better to switch to 116610LN or not

116610LN ZZF v2 is an amazing watch. The CF black insert is almost perfect. Keep in mind, it is much easier to replicate Black than Green ;)

anyone knows how the movement is fixed inside the watch? is it hold in with tabs or with screws?
My watch runs fine but when i shake it it kind of sounds and feels like the whole movement would be thrown from one side to the other if thats even possible :/

Yeah you don't hear a rotor or anything like that, that way its really quite.
But its almost like there is a metal ball inside which is bouncing from the inside.
You can hear loud bouncing and feel the shaking. Don't know what it can be.

Hmm maybe because within shipping as they dont threat well low value packages so maybe screws get loose

Insert looked great in the original review and all the qc pics, but the pictures from some members are showing it’s still not quite gen like. Can’t help but think some slight photo editing is going on

I need your help guys. I will put the watch to my watchsmith today. He Never had a Rep before and my only experience was with the 4130 of the Daytona. Is the movement of the ZZF difficult for a watchsmith? I told him just a little bit too clean up dust and dirt and maybe some oil. Any Tipps I should give him? Is the movement very sensible or normal just like every other movement too?

I would immediately stop using the watch and have someone open the caseback to see whats loose. Thats not normal at all.

The VR3135 is very close to being exactly like a gen 3135. Anyone familiar with the gen should be quite at home with this clone movement, and should be impressed with how good it is. You can caution him that the parts are not as well made as the gen parts and to exercise additional care in handling them.
