Very good for first time Sub but a long way to go to compete with the top dog. It's obvious from pictures that ZZF looks way more premium.
Nevertheless, it does beat Noob V10 and ARF V3 imo. RXF surely has brought some good things to the table such as dial printing and their dial doesn't seem to have the "ripple" effect whereas ZZF you can get unlucky and get some extreme looking ones.
Another thing I dislike a lot is the steel printing, it doesn't look smooth and nice like ZZF. You can easily see the difference on the rehaut and clasp. The clasp itself has the "7GJ" instead of "C4R", I have to check an old thread with all the serial codes for different models/steels but as far as I know for all 116610LN model it should be "C4R".
My current rankings are for best Submariners are:
1. ZZF V2 / V2s
2. RXF
3. ARF V3
4. Noob V10
I'd like to add this is a premature judgement since we have a lot more to see and learn about RXF such as consistency in the upcoming QCs.
I think RXF succeed in what they had in mind which was to beat some of the top dogs, and they've done so! ARF V3 and Noob V10 will be gone in no time leaving buyers with 2 obvious options.
