Here is my QC already accepted. Looks quite good with a nice SEL everywhere but maybe the date window slightly misaligned with the cyclop...
I am not sure but it seams also that there is a small overflow of lume on the right of the 6 o'clock marker...maybe i am wrong because it's hard to tell from these pictures :idontknow:

Date is the fattest I've seen so far on these.

If I'm correct no gen is that fat at least all the latest fat font dial versions have thin DW as far as I know.

Nope the zzf font and layout is perfect
See, based on the trusty comparisons, some ZZF's have wonk to them (as do gens) and some are razor straight (and so are some gens)

I think variance plays a factor here, so the answer can't be that simple. At least, that's my $0.02.

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.

I read a blog that claimed the hbb or v69 is the same warch as the rxf

For those who say zzf is better. What is better exactly?

As far as i know no one has ever handled it so we still judge it with some pictures from TDs, and it's hard to tell definitely if the zzf is better or not for now right ?
We can see that the font looks better on the ZZF with macro shots but the font is far to be the most important thing with naked eyes, on the wrist !

If you wanna be nick picky look at the crown of zzf,
its longer, not perfect.
Holy smackerels. ZZF isn't perfect lmao. Finally, something I can mention to the ZZF cultists claiming any other factory is garbage.

I still can't justify purchasing a ZZF because of the dim bezel insert, that's a huge con and I don't see why that isn't brought up enough

Because the latest one is much better. I will be doing a side by side comparison against the gen insert shortly.

I heard of complaints in V2, was it fixed in V2S?

Well mine is a Y serial, which is supposed to be the latest batch and with poor light you can’t barely see the numerals. Plus it sits flush with the bezel which gives it some kind of “fat” look. Don’t get me wrong, it’s the best Sub I’ve had, hands down, but the insert is by far its worst part. It that one is much better I don’t want to even think about the previous ones...
