Thanks for this comparison. Indeed the RXF does look a little brighter than the ZZF insert.

Interestingly the ZZF bracelet looks yellower than the RXF.

I like the ZZF cyclops better than the RXF.

Nearer than you think
I think you are comparing apples to pears. The ZZF v2s with VR3135 is around $475 or so, but the A2824 version is $408 which is just twenty dollars more than the RXF. Is it $20 better? I’m not sure, but I know it’s also a great watch. Just want to set things in the right context.

Well RXF's crown position is better than zzf's (in the 2824 model), so just for that and the lesser price it's worth it

I think it looks great. Quick question dont you think there is too much gap between sels and the case? Im only bothered by the sel gaps on this model I think.

Maybe a little bit.. but not noticeble on wrist. Love this watch and wear it everyday, hard to say it is fake tbh :rolleyes:

It does look very good. The problem (for me)will be When you wind and set the time and the sound of the rotor.

Zzf hands are way better.

Dials seems not much difference nice lume plots on both

Zzf CG angle flaw is quite noticeable in these pics.

But on the other hand you don't have quick date change on a 2824. So good luck trading an obvious tell that anyone sitting close to you can see in a glance, for a barely noticeable one.

Just FYI, this is my ZZF, pic taken just now. Crown height is almost the same as the gen 3135 (and I can 100% assure you it has the 2836 instead of VR3135 as I have just regulated it today):


Now, tell me. What's better, having this terrible crown height, or having to hide your watch between 22.45h and 00.15h?

Don't get me wrong, I still think the RXF is a great watch, but I want to be fair when comparing watches. I'm just saying that I don't see a clear winner between the RXF Submariner A2824 and the ZZF v2s Submariner A2836. Between the RXF and the ZZF with vr3135, I would 100% go for the RXF.

It's very close between this one and the ZZF:

ZZF pros:
significantly better SELs
better rehaut
better bracelet and clasp (especially now with v3)
noticeably better hands
better bezel ring

RXF/VSF pros:
better case
better dial (print is crisper and not dull in low light as on zzf)
better insert (same)
better price
I don't talk about crystal because even if it's a very good one it's clearly not gen standard.

The mind should say go for RXF/VSF but ocd says that those SEL gaps are not acceptable ahah.

Well I've got a RXF insert on the way. I will try to swap it for the ZZF and post an update with the results, if it works I will call it a day and enjoy it while it lasts.

That's a smart choice. I was thinking myself. A ZZF with RXF insert would be killer.

Comparing RXF and ZZF has to include consideration that the RXF is quite a lot cheaper. If there are pros and cons to both and it's a wash which is better, then the RXF is better by default due to its price.

It's only 40 USD cheaper not that a lot.
