Some outdoor shots which disappointingly shows the hand lume doesn’t match. They look more like ARF lume colour. There is also a gap on the clasp but I’ll sort that.

Fortunately ZF is using CF insert on their LNs, can't look at the VSF LN insert...
Clasp and SEL recess also look perfect to me on that one, really nice example thanks for the pics !

Nearer than you think
Beautiful pics, Substar , perfect lightning conditions to make that blackhole pop!

Lol imagine if someone said that the blackhole wasn't something to make a fuss for. It's really vital to get it right

Missmatching hands? :/ The "white" looks very off.,.. Compared to the dial

Yep. The dial markers are a perfect shade but the hands are too white in certain lighting conditions. A shame to be honest but doesn’t effect my overall opinion of the watch.
I’ve just swapped the crystal gasket as the ZF measured 2.72mm and I had one that was 2.65mm and it looks better now.

Also I have a CF insert from my ZZF V2S ND and you can clearly see the difference to this improved October version in all lighting but especially low light.

Under full leds the hands match perfect. Seems to be how the charge in daylight.

Impressed with the insert.
I only have a small table lamp on in the corner of the room and taken on iPhone X.

Looks like the best ootb sub 116610ln for no modding? That non matching lume is a real bummer in the pictures i dont really see a big difference but real life is the most important part..

@Substar watch looks great. I GL my QS pictures at the weekend and await delivery.

Can I ask how long the lume stays bright for at night? Also think that the lume is probably the same type on the face markers and hands, but maybe applied thinner on the hands hence why we see the colour difference in different light. If it's thinner on the hands the metal behind the lume might darken it? That or the hands and markers are from different suppliers.

The lume charges well but how long it remains bright in the dark I don’t know as I’ve only had it a few hours. I suspect the hands are lumed in a different factory using a slightly different mix but in most conditions they match to be honest so I’ll see how it goes or I might swap in some gen hands.

Thelume lasts extremely well. Readable at 6 in the morning from my experience

These are just some iphone pics, more will be coming later with the DSLR this weekend.

My in-depth review will be coming, but overall my feeling is that 'you get what you pay for', having had a ZZF, multiple noobs, and BP/GMF. This is a cut above the rest, and the crystal is VERY good. All of the finishes and fits are very good.

One thing I've noticed is that it is hard to capture the apple green with the camera as the camera itself will balance and tone down the green right away after the pic has been taken. The insert is really fantastic, which is something I'm quite picky of.

Looks gorgeous mate, congrats! Looking forward to your review, I'm particularly curious about the dial and how it reacts to strong light. Thanks
