Review of Upcoming RXF New Submariner 116610 LN and Comparison

[Smoke]

what wrong with the Front? And why do you prefer the zzf insert? the zzf LN insert looks dull in low light.

Have to wait how the rxf looks in Person, in diffrent light conditions.

The crown logo the spacing the font text in general looks off

I think you need glasses !
​​​​​rxf is too blue yes but it's nicely ar coated ! By the way some gen has blue tint

Show us pictures you say some not all.

I'm new and am trying to learn as much as I can from you all but I'm not entirely convinced about SEL issues. There was one shot that looked very much like it had a gap, but in many shots it's difficult to clearly distinguish between a genuine gap and the illusion created by the recess. My RXF QC pics aren't high res and while it looks like there may be a gap in one shot, others suggest that's not really the case.

I don't have the experience to write a hands on review but I do have a good macro lens and can post some clearer hands on shots from a piece that has been sold if you are interested. Just let me know what you would like to see specifically as I don't want to flood the forum with pics of my first rep (no matter how in love with it I may be).

I'm really happy to jump on here today and see two more pages of posts. Please keep the discussion going. I hope to learn more from you and one day be able to also contribute something more meaningful.

The NOOB V5 had the blue tint only, but without any blackhole effect...at least this RXF shows a nice date with a clear cyclop.
It​ comes very close to all the gen 6 digit Rolex i had in the past years !!! ( Datejust 41, 126600, 114060 and Explorer II )

That Black hole on the 114060 must have been impressive

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 can confirm, the QC pics I received from TrustyTime has a different serial number from the above shots.

I also looked at a few gen cyclops shots and while they differ, there is definitely a blue tint up to the hue we see in some of the RXF shots.

The ARF would be great if the lume plot surrounds were rounder and if they didn’t use the ultra bright white smooth lume thats way off.

Zzf hands are just as 3D as ARF especially oj the LV V2S I’ve found.

ARF are a little off in shape on the mercedes hand I think.

I think the ZZF insert looks most genuinely Sputter coated on the engravings.

The hands on the V2s ND I have are excellent and very close to gen now and the lume is perfect.
I’ve had a go at removing/scraping at the numeral coating on the latest CF insert as I have a broken example to mess with and it’s very durable. I didn’t manage to remove it so it should last well!

Don't forget the feel of the watch is also important. Just like my ARF Sub feels so much better on the wrist than my Noob V10.

So you think that i am not aware that the no date 114060 has....no date ? This was just i my gen list, doesn't mean it's only about the "black hole "

And why are you trying to make it funny, as there is no joke at all ? Don't you have anything else to talk about in this thread ? Like talking about this RXF ? Maybe it should be more interesting right ?

Double post, sorry.

Just making life a little fun.

Already gave a statement, not a huge fan of the RXF so far...

Ok then in that case stay cool and keep your humour intact !
I agree that my post was a little confusing with this no date " black hole "

Anyway i find the RXF quite promissing for the price !

Based on your few posts I've seen so far I think you already deserve the most promising new member award of 2020

I have checked many QC pictures of this one and I can definitely see SEL issues in the majority of them. They are recessed but there are big SEL gaps. Not a huge fan of the watch too. Not far from a ZZF in many areas but the SELs ruin it in my opinion. Plus no clone movement. The HBB one seems honestly better (to my eyes) than this one, even if I would have preferred a clone movement for that one too.
If the ZF is like in the spoiler pictures, that will be the one to go for. If it will ever be released, one day, lol.
