ZzF bezel isn’t a plantium plated

I got 1 in
Bezel click very loud and dry

The clasp very sharp also bracelet

Glass isn’t great as pic

How do you know it is not platinum plated? I have the Clean Factory bezel on my ARF 116610 which is supposedly the ZZF bezel. I can see some silver on the side. I was really unhappy with ARF's immediate flaking after 2 months of barely any wear. Hopefully, this is an upgrade.

No it’s arf...markers, CG, cyclops, hands, and the notorious DW gives it away....

this is gen


Wow. Bro, I bought a gen datewheel and got it installed. The font is totally different. But yes, the rest is ARF except for bezel.

Thanks for the tip man. The ARF cyclops still reflects a lot huh? I think I'll do that. At the same time, praying the Clean Factory bezel doesn't flake like the ARF. If it does, I'm just going to buy a gen insert and pray it fits.

Crystal is ok, but not gen like. Gen insert should fit but I’ve heard a lot of good with clean. Hope it stands the test of time. Good luck with your build

:woo: I would be interested in whether there are differences in the weight of the individual models.

Did you get it serviced? How does it keep time so far? :)

I got it serviced but.... The date skipping function broke within the first 10 mins I had it. My watchmaker said it might take maybe $1000 in gen parts to get it functioning. As for keeping time, it's been great and my watchmaker tested it to be OK for minimal waterproofing. I can live without the date skipping function. The watch still looks great and no one I've ever let see my watch tried to unscrew the crown to mess with the time. You can still set the time by manually just spinning the time for awhile. I'll probably just buy what better version rep later instead of buying gen date skipping parts. I'm already getting a prof crystal and likely a spongebob insert soon. And if Noob does their magic on the 3135 like they did with the 4130, really no reason to get gen movement parts. That's my thinking anyways. Would be nice if the ARF was FULLY functional lol

That's odd... does the SH3135v2 have the issue of the date as well? Does Noob fix these movements up or something
