First Time Buyer- ZZF V2 from Jtim

[FlyguyGA]

I just had an excellent experience as a first time buyer. Li was quick to respond to my emails and questions. I ordered the ZZF V2 Submariner and had QC pictures 2 days later. I was concerned about the bezel alignment, but thought it could just be the angle and requested some new pictures. Everything looked good the next day so I gave it the GL.

4/8- GL given
4/11- tracking info recieved
4/25- tracking had not updated beyond "shipment information recieved", so I asked Lana if this is something I should be concerned about. I knew that customs could take forever, but it didn't appear that the package had been picked up.

4/26- notification that the package was picked up
4/28' delivered to me in Eastern US

The watch arrived in great condition. It was packaged very well and is operating fine. The only flaw I see is a slightly crooked marker at 6 o'clock, but it is not very noticeable. Overall great experience and plan to do business with them again.

Edit: tried to post a pic with the picture icon, it redirected to clickpix. I uploaded the pic and then was redirected back here. Not sure where it went.

It should be VR3135 if I look at the rehaut engraving aligmenet however strange it may sound.

Just received mine as well but I went with A2836.

I have the ARF v3 LN as well but ZZF is much much better in terms of looking more gen.

Mine is the A2836

Enjoy the watch, it looks great, waiting on the same model arriving also 2836 movement.

Beautiful!

I have not made upp my mind about what movement to choose yet so if you can share what made you pick 2836?

I thought it may be less expensive if I had to ever replace the movement with the 2836. I also have no plans to put in gen parts, so with the movement where you can't even see it I didn't see a need for a clone 3135 movement.

That’s my thinking as well. I saw that the serial on the rehaust looked really good to. Read that ZZF had som issues with that on the V2. Do not know if the factory listens to the feedback and improves or if the foto is lying but imo it’s a great specimen.

All the best and wish you joyfull relationship with your fantastic Sub.

A2836 version costs also approx 60 USD less than the VR3135 which is another plus besides the reliability.

Here's my QC if this helps about the serial.

Nice watch. I don't know if I have been staring at these hour markers for too long, but does your 6 look crooked also? Almost looks like it is leaning right. I thought my 6 marker issue was from picture angles, but it is really bugging me. Mostly because the watch is almost perfect in every other way, but any sort of lengthy glance at my dial and it is pretty noticeable that the 6 is tilted. My wife noticed immediately and she doesn't even know about watches. Now I'm stuck trying to decide if I want to sell it and try again, or find so.eone to fix it.

Thanks, mine is alright it's mostly the angle playing the tricks. Maybe a tiny bit but nothing you can notice IRL unless you blow up the pic and draw the line.

You just have to look in QC pics that the minute marker is sitting in the middle of the marker to see if it's straight or not.

Markers were one the things I looked in QC as I knew ZZF has problems with crooked markers.

Mine (line is quite centred) :

Yours:

Your pearl is also not centred (look at your first pic) I have the same issue with my ARF v3. Outside if the sun is from the right angle it bugged the hell out of me. This is how it was:

Horrible OCD stuff I know

But if you look the Youtube vids and various forums the gens have all that as well like misaligned bezel, dates and so on.

That looks good man. Curious, were the photos of the cyclops aligned in your QC photos?
