Review of Upcoming RXF New Submariner 116610 LN and Comparison

[Silver Fox Mulder]

Eric just sent the rest of the QC. Timegraph looks flawless.

Green lighted this.

So what happened with the font situation?

What was that about the SELs on the Pelagos... was looking to pick up a blue one sometime soon I thought they were NWBIG?

Look forward to your review after you've received it.

This is my second piece. The first one had drunken font i.e. oFFiCiAlLy cErTiFiED (exaggerated but something like that)

And yes, they are 100% NWBIG but they are notorious for having SEL gaps. Not noticeable unless you really stare at them.

I would buy it anyway mate, I have the XF V4 in black for over a year and I will never get rid of it. My #1 watch.

[mention]kennygconspiracy [/mention] when you get it in hand, get a pic at a low angle to the dial face to see how high (from dial face) the hour hand clearance is. Also try to capture any curvature the hands may have. Nicest set of rep hands so far (for me) is the ZZF V2s LV hands.

Looks great, apart from early stage "rehaut delamination" at 5 and 11... :crazy:

Will do mate, happy to contribute to the wealth of knowledge here.

Fun fact: Never owned a subbie before! This is my cherry being popped

Haha, yeah! icard:

But hey, can't have a perfect rep! I'd rock an LV if I could though, but green doesn't work too well with me.

Honestly the dial print doesn't look that great to me judging from the pics on tt. some letters bold, others skinny. Could be the pics or me being picky, though.

Lol they advertise SELs like perfect shape like gen and now every QC SELs are bad as hell

Haha, like every watch factory, their one piece they have personally overseen looks great, then it goes into production it’s like tolerances are all over the place and things don’t fit right..

Worse in The final two lines isn’t it.

I've seen photos of gens with relatively imperfect printing as well so really it's not that awful.

However the first piece I got was absolutely horrendous.

Overall depends on what you want in a rep. I learned to stop being too picky, and go with the flow. More versions will come up, and watches can be rotated

Valued perspective though.

The printing on the clasp looks like a kids writing. Also the text on other parts of the clasp. Arf is miles ahead there.

From what I see I prefer the HBB V6 just because of the hands and the case everything else looks exactly the same .. The downside to the V6 is a bit high glass ..In general I think it looks better than the RXF ..
V6 vs gen..

We need smoke to say what he think about it.

I cannot understand why he isn’t here since the beginning to say GL or RL.

Smoke please RXF > ZZF ?

Send a link to the rsx and I'll have a look I've been busy so not been on the forums lately

The vrf looks for but I dont thinking been released to the public
cant edit posts is the forum having issues

The zzf for me is better as its 3135 .if this rfx was 3135 it would be alot better.but I dont like the dial font its not totally correct on this new rfx also not feeling the markers compared to the rounded zzf ones .I also prefer the clearness of the zzf rehaut engraving.and rehaut shelf .for me I would take the zzf over this.but it's a good start.lets see the 3135 version that .also prefecrr the insert of the zzf.zzf still ha e a lot of work to do on the case lugs cg and sel

Also the sel on the rfx looks better than the zzf .seem to be recessed but does not look perfectly even on all sides

trustytime Thanks for the review!
I am quite impressed by the watch. I think they still need to improve sel and ABSOLUTELY offer this watch with a VR3135.
It looks like they are the first to apply ar coating on the bottom of the crystal and top of the cyclops, like I am preaching since many years. Good overall start from rxf
