What's wrong with ZF crystal? Have you seen both in person?

Respected Member
We commented the blue hue of the crystal in the other thread! Personally I hope to be wrong, but I was expecting more, just from the pics RXF’s crystal seems better, we would like some IRL pictures tho, can you send a couple? So we can see the black hole and the halo effect!

I will do a comprehensive review on all the SUBs after the ARF V4 is released.
The review will be broken down into several sections, I need your advice what (sub-sections) I need to consider.
1. Case (lugs, rehaut, CG, engravings between lugs, what else?)
2. Bezel (color, font, platinum plating quality, pearl, what else?)
3. Dial (printing, markers, lume, what else?)
4. Hands (what should I look for when comparing hands?)
5. Bracelet (build, brushing, SEL, engravings, clasp, what else?)
6, Movement (DW, PR, decoration, what else?)
7. General (SEL fitment, crystal sitting, gen feel, what else?)
8. Anything I missed?

2. Add feel of the bezelaction/-rotation. Almos All reps feel reay really cheap in that regard.
7. Rounded edges on the clasp. ARF does a good Job on the deepsea. On the SD43 and Sub not nos much anymore...
8. Yup, how about the crystal in detail?

What is the rounded edges on the clasp? Do you have a pic?
Of course my friend here you go.
So this is how they look these days:
And this is how it should be looking, ass sen on mine as an example. All the edges are rounded/beveled/ ans polished.
Btw both are ARF!
Marked the main areas here :
Also there should be a gab betwen the langer part and the safety leaver

genuine bracelet is soft like butter. I have tried many replicas and with arf bracelet and it is not as soft and comfortable as the gen

I will try my best since I have not successfully generated black hole effect yet haha, I dont know what lighting condition it will appear
The easiest would be to use the reflection of an window

Just go to a window and try to catxh/captufe the reflection on the xtal. Best would be if the sun is not shining directly on it, just the sky. Then you should be able to see, that the Cyclops is not reflecting. Creating a Black hole in the reflection so to say haha.
