Hello all.
Did preorder this watch to see it myself.
This is indeed the best ARF bracelet i ever had in my hands. Supercrisp print and feels very solid.

Very happy with this watch overall for 428usd shipped.
Only minus I can see under macro is lume is uneven and datewheel is bad at some dates. But all others are too :)
Not sure about the CGs but they feel more like vsf.

*rehaut is like on CF
*newest CF insert
*hands are not flat
*crystal is very good
*recess is genlike
*lugs is great
*sel is perfect
*movement is the newest VS3135 version

Took some pictures so you can judge by urself :)
Have a good weekend*

Looks very good. Beautiful piece.

Are you sure it's a VS movement?

You can identify the VS (Dandong/Peacock) 3135 very simple. No other Movement right now has this (except the real deal calibre)


Ah nice I didn't know

Beautiful.

SH3135 & SA3135 have them. It's more a way to identify a VR3135 :)

You're right.
I've checked this with a broken SA3135 which I have in my box.
What differs is the overall finishing quality.

Broken SA 3135

Great little review and fantastic photos. Thanks for the charged lume shot. King looks like a serious contender.

Thanks man for doing this review!!
I've been very curious about the King factory. I've always thought it was a VSF case used because of how well the SEL looks on them and how well the VSF looked with an ARF bracelet swap. Very similar look.
How does the overall watch feel? The edges look soft too.

I'm curious how their hulk dials look.

Lots of good stuff in the images for sure. Great serial positioning on the rehaut! Doesn’t quite look like a VSF case to me though. I’m defo going to order one now I’ve seen these pics. As with all reps I imagine good qc will be needed.

Bezel is abit sharp but great turn action.
Lugs are more round than sharp like my CF
Bracelet and case feel is amazing.
Like a vsf rep but with better quality bracelet is how I could put it.

Appreciate it man! Sounds good.
QC seems consistent with the release pics so that's good. My big thing with ZF was their very inconsistent QC.

The crown guard shape issue is not seen from the front but from the side. They look almost vertical but they should be slanted. CF has had that issue forever, and it looks like this one does too

I know what you mean but it’s not really a real world problem is it. How many people go around looking at the side of your watch to check that.
