I think the cyclops is acceptable.

On wrist even if it's straight it looks crooked on every angle you look at it IRL so you won't really notice that.

Yep, it's always a tricky one to be sure of in photos. The only issue I see is the mark on the SEL but apart from that it all looks acceptable for $400.

Recieved the 'gen baby' today:)

It come in good packaging- correct serial number, price tag and just look very premium.

The best crystal seen on a rep and the cyclops is craazy good. Good bh effect, crisp and clear. Dw dead on center.

Insert is really nice and is the same as zzf v2s if not better. Medium to turn it while zzf is very stiff arf is to light. Movement is smooth and no headache is given.

Bracelet is like zzf, bad clasp and screws. But smoother edged around each link. Recess is good.

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.

This was posted on another thread yesterday gen and ZZF (all stock) :

Yes, but you count it as a pro, that the zzf insert doesn t flake.

the gen Comparison pic is not really in low light, but on the LV it looks better.
It depents on what lighting u look the watch and then u don t have to look twice witch is the gen:)

here another thread pic zzf and gen

thanks for the pics but honestly no offense they look like (good) abstract art...

I don’t know photography but can we please get some regular aspect ratio, angles, and lighting lol.

Smoother edges on the bracelet? Gotta see it! Disappointed about the clasp tho

Finally, I may have something new to contribute!

One of the clearest tells for an RXF comes from the serial numbers. So far, I have seen:

3x F77S7878
3x D55P5858
2x E66R6868
1x A11L1818

Letters occupy the first and fourth places. So far they have been 11 to 13 letters apart in the alphabet.

With the numbers, only one is variable and this occupies the second, third, fifth, and seventh places. So far, it looks like the variable number equates to the first letter + 1 ie. F is the 6th letter of the alphabet so the variable number is 6+1=7. The exception so far is the A which retains the variable number as 1.

The sixth and eight places are always an 8.

The numbers appear random enough at first glance but this pattern should help us spot RFX reps in comparison shots in the future.

Try with the sun in front of the watch, not behind. It also helps if you take the pic from a little further, taking photos so close tends to distort the object a little bit as it gives it some sort of fisheye effect. Nevertheless, thanks a lot for the good effort mate, the watch looks gorgeous.

By the way, has anyone tried to put this insert on a ZZF? Is it actually better in terms of numerals colour and thinness of the insert?
