GingerBubba You know that Neo_Goku1 is our dearly missed Kool Aid kid from RWG ? https://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?/profile/97662-kool-aid/
How funny it is to see him spark in such a controversial topic, yet again... :rofl:

Oh my god!!!!
I tried my hardest to get him released from gulag and then to avoid him getting banned. I failed. Funny to recall though. Honestly, that was a harsh gulagging and ban imo. He was WAY less annoying that some people have been in recent threads on here!
He's not to good on the difference between a Kermit and a Hulk though lol.

We don't ban without valid reason, it's a forum, people will disagree, will argue, as long as it's done in the topic and without being disrespectful they can stay. If they start badly behaving, there's a report tool to warn staff about it, and we will intervene to calm things down, as it's been already done in this topic.
This topic is a sensitive one, there will not be any agreement reached here by all the parties, at one point you must just decide where you draw the line between your personal conviction and your desire to convince other of your view of the truth.
Yeah but this is RWI and i will try and articulate myself in a more appropriate manner here. I respect thats the rule here as RWG is a more lenient place to be. So i wont allow GingerBubba 's constant love and sexual advances toward me to deter my professional behavior ^_^
I’m going to refrain from drawing any conclusions until his report is out. At this time, I still have a lot of unanswered questions:
- which model of the ZZF was used?
- which parts of the watch was used to do the test? The case itself? The links on the bracelet? The clasp? Is it possible that part of the watch is 316 and other parts is 904 steel?
Lastly, I would like to see this test reproduced independently. I did see a few posts from a few other members who have access to this equipment, so if it would be helpful if we can reproduce the test.
Anyways, IMHO, if the factory is advertising 904 steel and charging for it, it should deliver it.
Imaging what would happen if a factory is claiming to sell one type of movement in the watch but delivering a cheaper one.

Angus its confirmed by a member in US also now - https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...submariners-up-on-jtime?p=9290610#post9290610
ZZF V2 Hulk bracelet tested 316L.

They now should adjust their prices or I suspect their v3 won't sell that well. I see zero possibilities to upgrade their watches to real 904L in a short time if new machines are really needed.
Yes may be zzf v4 will be true 904L, but as they have one the best sub and it’s really popular I don’t think they will adjust. If the arf v4 or VS V1 are as good as the zzf v3 the are dead...

I can tell from pictures that VSF is a serious contender. We need more info.
Here’s a video of VSF vs ZZF - not sure if it’s v2s or v3. Would be great if someone could translate.

theoretically ZZF for v.3 took the bracelet from another factory (the same one that supplies ARF)

Angus told us that that factory would provide zzf only with 316L bracelets. Their v3 will be 316L still probably. It will take a certain time to upgrade to 904L (if they want to do). I am just curious to see what will happen.

i am also curious to check if the bracelet of the v3. ZZF is in 316 and not in 904. but not because I don't trust Angus (The results are proving him right) but because I don't trust what the suppliers of the various factories say
