From what we’ve seen so far, It has pros and cons like every rep. It isn’t perfect but It’s a very nice rep at first glance for sure.

I would still go for ZZF if I were you.

More gen looking, less flaws and has proved to be a workhorse and takes lot of beating OTB (swimming, CF insert won't flake and so on). Plus if you go for the 3135 version gen datewheel is a low cost and easy swap (but not required on ZZF). RFX with the left justified DW with 2824 means no gen DW swap if that starts to bother you.

What do you mean more gen looking and less flaws? Could you be more specific?

Are you going for the date version or no date? Will you Mod it or leave it as it comes? Just those two questions (among a million others) will change the answer I'd give you.

Those questions are rhetorical by the way.

Yes if you want 3135, than u have to take the zzf.
the vr 3135 is not a workhouse. It has some Problems with the date clickspring.
zzf insert in low light looks dull
the cyclops has a bad AR.
if you wanna mod then take the zzf vr3135.

printing and markers and hands looks on both good enough. The sells, depents on what example you get as the bracelet, clasp and brezel Action.

Not all Rxf DW are left justfield lol
where do know that the rxf insert will flake?

OTB I would take RXF.

RFX insert flaking - I don't nobody doesn't thats why I said ZZF is proven. RFX could be crap could be even better no one knows that yet.

I meant watch is proven workhorse not the 3135. I've had two ZZFs both with ETAs and now the 3130 is incoming (V2S no-date).

The CF V3 insert should be better in low light some who compared it to gen said its not worth going gen with that one. I can compare CF V2 and V3 insert/bezel once I receive my V2S. But they are all dull in low light ARF and so on they all are.

The cyclops is fine on ZZF and you're gonna go gen anyway with the crystal so the RFX crystal doesn't really matter its maybe better but not gen.

RXF has bad rehaut engraving and that's something you're stuck with.

ZZF is still the only one you have to look twice to see is that rep or not.

I get that you're a ZZF fanboy, but this thread is meant to be about comparing the RXF 116610LN with other 116610LN. Randomly posting wrist shots of the no date or the LV and proclaiming the ZZF is much better isn't helpful.

I wish you'd stop jumping into every sub thread multiple times shilling / extolling the virtues of the ZZF over everything.

We get where you are on this, you've made it clear, multiple times.

It’s all replicas anyway. A perfect rep can’t be a gen anyway.

Just got QC, all in all they look good enough considering they are fairly lo-res. Only two issues I can see is possibly the cyclops isn’t square to the date window and there seems to be either damage or crap on the lower left SEL.

I’m tempted to give green light as I’m maybe being too picky.

I see the cyclops misaligned as well. It can be the pic? I’m a rocky here so please don’t weight much my opinion. I ordered my sub RFX yesterday from Andrew at Trusty. I will upload here the QC pics when available and I appreciate all the help I can get since this will be my first rep! :D
