Official submariner zzfv2 hulk thread

[sfgerl]

I got my Clean Factory LV dial from Li yesterday - he ships really safely - it was practically bombproof - and FAST (DHL)...

Anyway, here are two photos. Sorry that the indoor photo is blurry - I tried, but they all came out this way. It is a cloudy day today, no way to do a photo in direct bright sunlight...

Taken outdoors on a cloudy day:

Taken indoors, with room lights off, curtains drawn letting filtered light in, and a table lamp behind my right shoulder:

Insert is nice but I still think it’s a little off not as color saturated as gen. I’d would like to see it in bright light.

To me this insert looks like the best color green in low light of any rep I’ve seen. Looks very close to my gen. Would also love to see in sunlight.

 

[sfgerl]

It's darker now, so made two lume shots - one exposing my Noob 7 dial up close to lamp light for 10 seconds, the other the CF ZZF dial exposed for 10 seconds.

My Hulk has GEN HANDS, so you can see how the lume colors compare.

When I get mine in hand I am going to post sunlight shots and never return to this thread lol...this way I will never know how good or bad people think it is and I can just enjoy it =)

Isn’t the zzf insert basically the same CF LV insert we have seen around for some time or did they do any updates?

I think that is the assumption everyone has been going with so far. I haven't seen any posts from Li as of yet to confirm/deny that it has the current CF insert. The pics I remember seeing of the CF insert looked lighter than this insert but it could just be different lighting conditions =/

 

[Timewellspent]

From I remember seeing when it first came out the CF insert wasn’t to accurate next to gen there was a post somewhere that they compared all current factory’s inserts to gen, if it is really the CF LV insert without any update it’s not accurate and I believe the vrf is actually a better insert choice

 

[Timewellspent]

Actually Hazing did do a comparison with most rep Inserts/ gen. CF insert wasn’t the best option. I’m curious to know if there was any updates or if they didn’t actually use the CF insert

Nice. I have mine as well. The color and shimmer, sheen, shine on this dial is really nice. I’m convinced the green sunburst is the same as a BP dial with better indices, better lettering and better lume? I can’t wait to put it on.

That was before the release of this model. I’m interested to see what they’re using here. And how it stacks up. And how it looks in the sun. For me, the hulk is all about the natural light, particularly sunlight.

Think you mean this one comparing the inserts by mnkoshka on page 7 https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...opinions/page7

It's hard to tell in the different lighting until someone gets this in direct sunlight. Even then some will care and most won't because the only real solution is to get a gen bezel insert/assembly which is bordering on the ridiculous mod side of things =)

Ah shit my bad Hazing did a compare further down the thread lol sorry I left that out =)

interesting, but noob dial is behind cloudy crystal so lume won’t look as bright as if it wasn’t behind crystal.

 

[rcom440]

I actually think if that noob dial wasn’t behind crystal lume would look as bright as ZF.

 

[Flinnt]

I replaced noob v9 dial with CF. Lume is better on CF even behind the crystal. No lume pics yet and I’m at work wearing another watch, sorry.

Would be very nice a comparison in color between this V2 and a gen.
Of course it will never be EXACTLY the same, but it think this one could be really close .

For sure close enough to be a gen on the wrist for everyone eyes !

In the top pic where the dial is green the gen would have half the dial black belending into a deep forest green in this sort of lighting imo.i hope the clean dial can pull of the green and blacat the same time nicely faded and blended.the gmf and bp pull it off so I think think this clean dial can do it in the right light

 

[Cheesemonger]

Normally I don’t ask about these, but I wanted to see if maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. I think it is just lighting at the 7 o’clock spot on the case meeting the bracelet circled in red on the below photo. She’s a keeper that should ship.

these others look like it sits flush.

Agreed. Still waiting to see a pic of the ZZF dial showing the kind of range in these.
