Review of Upcoming RXF New Submariner 116610 LN and Comparison

[Maupinator]

I’ve had a couple watches with markers a little off. It does start to grate, especially as these are the higher end reps and not cheap. especially when someone else takes a look at it and notices it, just makes it seem like a cheap knock off which people expect them to be.

Nothing is perfect in this world mate, also RL'ing this could give me another one with perhaps way worse flaws and inevitably I would have to settle with something, I rather speed up that process and IF it does get triggering, a dial can be replaced

Yep it’s your choice indeed. Just offering my opinion having had watches with the issue in the past. The markers can be aligned by a modder anyway you wouldn’t need a dial.

Seems an incredible good work otb over the ZZF v2

- Same case, lugs and CG, same rehaut but better aligned (and random) serial number.
- Same dial, with the same "OFFICIALL Y" flaw
- Maybe different hands, I´m not sure and I can not appreciate any improvement.
- Better crystal and AR cyclops (maybe too much blue)
- Slightly better SEL recess. (practically the same)
- Same insert but better white pearl (seems to me that ZZF has downgraded it, and was better in early versions ¿?)
- I prefer VR3135, It´s a very realiable movement, but have to recognize a great work raising the crown for those who prefer the 2824. (It was a big flaw till now)

Imho, Crystal, serial, SEL, and crown, make a serious improvement if you prefer the A2824.

Compared with my ZZF v2 VR3135 QCs received and approved two days ago.
ZZF left, RXF right.

I´m sorry (only this pic) RXF left / ZZF right.

​​​Maupinator, If you do not agree the use of your pics for the comparisson, tell me and I will edit. Thanks.

It's good science and I think alot of people appreciate this mate.

I think you guys gonna make me pull the trigger again... It look insane for the price !! Comparing to my v2s lv I just see some improvement for 130$ less very interesting

What is swaying you, because I'm leaning into ZZF still...

What Sponsor said he's right better xtal, better alignment (I have the X model with a tricky alignment for the serial only), sel slightly better, same dial, same insert white pearl! And the price is just right for me. I didn't plan to buy an LN but it's interesting as a "daily" with the eta

Some good and valid points to consider thank you, admittedly price is a big factor for me. If they drop a no date soon I would probably be all in.

I’m not feeling the RXF. I love the competition but the blue cyclops and hands that are greener than the hour markers ruin it.

A crooked marker is not hard to fix. One pin gets sanded down, align and re-glue it and done.

This definitely beats replacing the dial, great share!

This is my first post on RWI. I purchased the RXF from Trustytime and am awaiting the QC pics. This will be my first replica and I'm very excited. I've learned a lot from all of your posts, so thanks everyone. I now have a better idea of what to look for in the QC pics. I'm also really looking forward to the first hands-on review.

One of the flaw I have heard from a seller, that prevented him from selling a lot of these, is all watches carry the same serial on the rehaut

This doesn't bother me at all but I guess some buyers really care

How can that be considered a flaw?

This is not exactly true nor is it false.

Serial numbers are made at random, and sometimes there may be duplicate serial numbers which is very common. Various factories do this so that it is easier for them during production.

I have included below some half QC pics of the RXF Submariner with different serial numbers. They are not the same.

I wish RFX would release a Sea-Dweller 126600 43mm (2017 Baselworld, with red "Sea-Dweller"). For those with little bigger wrists, where the Sub looks like a playtool.

Damn, very nicely clarified Andrew!

ARF have this covered and its a brilliant rep.

Lets keep this conversation on the 116610LN.

If there is anything regarding the LV / 114060 or whatever from RFX, I’m sure Andrew will let us know - there is no need to ask if there is ‘any news’ about other watches when there obviously isn’t.

Hi so the blue cyclops does that occur in some gen as well?
