Review of ZZF New Sub 116610 LN and Comparison vs. Gen, ARF, Noob and Nail (PART I)

[stufuse]

I ordered my zzf v2 last week from jtime and received the QC pics this morning! The only concern I have is the amplitude seems to be at the low end of acceptable and I’m wondering if this can be adjusted before shipping, or is it something that can be lived with? I understand it’s a replica and concessions must be made, but according to the required reading for noobs, 250° amplitude is at the low end of acceptable. Everything else on the timegrapher seems to be well within acceptable parameters. https://clickpix.org/images/QRquY.jpg[l

Make sure with Li it was fully wound before putting on the graph. Could be the angle too.

Personally I’d accept it.

Oil bath seems a good idea and is needed for ZZF.

I got it from Li from JTime.

I'm in process of ordering with Sead.

Thank you, stufuse. I've done just that! Now I'm waiting to hear back from Lana regarding my acceptance.

Did you send this message from Internet Explorer? Noob V10's have been out since last year. They've only just gone on special.

I just placed the order of a zzf to Li, I will put the photos as soon as I receive them

Hello everybody! So I am in the market for a 116610LN Black Submariner. Now Ive came to learn that my best options are (Noob V10, ZZF V2 and lastly the ARF V3) I am super new to all of this and don't know which one to go with. Please anything will help! Which do you guys recommend and what are the differences. Also which movement is the best? (3135 or 2836) Thank you guys in advance, hope to hear back soon. ​

If you're new to the game go with ZZF V2 with 2836 it's the most gen looking out of the box and 2836 for the reliability.

Here's mine in action:

Thank you for the response! And could you please explain more about the movements. How is the 2836 more reliable than the 3135. Like the pros and cons of both! Thank you I truly appreciate it.

artorius head to the Tech Section and read through the Movement and Tutorials sub forums. Your questions have been asked many times. Members have gone to the effort of writing up excellent posts where you'll find the answers.

Guys help me out. This thread was very thorough but I am still left not able to make a decision on the best sub rep today. Can someone give me what they believe the best sub rep is in 2020

I got my ZZF V2 114060 since one month now and can only recommend it, I'm so happy with it. The only "issue" I have with it is the quite noticable hole at the handstack. While some say it's also on the Gen, I don't think it's that noticable on the Gen. The movement is also OK, mine is about +10s/day, which could probably easily be regulated.

For example here the hole is easiliy noticable:

So I guess when there is a ZZF V3 or V4 with some further improvements, I might upgrade to that if the improvements are worth it. But until then I'm pretty happy with my V2.

Here's my gen. The diimple around the hand stack is obvious, but it depends on the light and angle.

Thanks. I think it also depends on the year. On most brand new ones you don't notice it anymore, but on older models from like 5 years ago it's pretty obvious as on yours.
But I think on the ZZF the radius is still a bit too big, definitely a bit larger than on yours.
