botsyboy appearances to whom if they do not really give a shit?
The rest of the world.
The Chinese government has to be seen to be making an effort to combat counterfeiting in China.

mari115 then why were they closing factories down like for instance GF not so long ago. Doesnt make sense
botsyboy appearances to whom if they do not really give a shit? The last raids by the authorities were pretty severe. Hard to believe they are also in on it. Who knows
It totally makes sense that factories continue to put flaws on watches to sell v1/v2 with minimal improvements etc but at the same time let’s be honest here. If they could make a perfect rep they would earn a lot (even more, or at least the same, personal idea) too. Plus they would kill the competitors keeping all the market for them. Just see what ZZF was able to do in 1 year with a better product than his competitors.
Guys this is my last answer on this topic just to clarify to you my position.

This is why I think there are also other pieces of the puzzle. An illegal factory that produces perfect copies of Rolex would attract too much attention putting pressure on China to shut it down. China gives only the impression to contrast counterfeit goods but at the end it is profit for them and it’s convenient for China to keep them open. It is therefore convenient for factories to fly “under the radar” producing good copies but not perfect ones. At the end of the day any rep here if put against a gen will show a clear difference, partially justified by the price difference. Some more some less.
This was my idea and it has some decent background since I am quite into this topics and I know at least a bit of what I am talking about.
That said I think we can go back to ZZF (which honestly I didn’t enjoy)
Yes I've heard ZZF had sought approval from the Communist Party already starting from January this year to correct the bigfoot X on the dial. The Communist Party held months long talks with Switzerland and they got the approval from Geneva finally only a month ago to go ahead with the new updated X dial. Xi Jinping was involved in those talks as well.
And meanwhile all those silly questions how hard can it be for ZZF to fix the X.
This thread is something. Anyone got theirs already? Please show pics.
this one is mine just got it last Friday, I ordered a rubber strap and probably some time down the road add a gen insert but that’s really it. I’m very happy. The mvmt is butter so far. Keeps great time also. I have it on a winder.
Some of the V2S / V3 photos I've seen the bezel numerals look more white than 'platinum'... Is it just the images or does this need platinum paint mod?

I didn't realise they had platinum coating.. sorry, I asked because it looked a bit white. Thanks for the quick responseWhy paint?
These CF bezels have real platinum coating so why on earth would you paint them over.
You can swim in ocean, clean them with a toothbrush etc nothing happens to them unlike the Noob and ARFs painted ones where you would almost instantly loose all filling.
You're SELs unfortunately are almost flush.
Better try to source another ZZF bracelet with good gen like recess.
In terms of gen looking that will add more than the gen insert at this point.
Bezel teeth are yes a lot better now on these.
Why paint?
