Updated ARF V3 Submariner 116610 is out
- Thread starter Hidenjoy
- Start date
333 is slightly on the higher side. An ideal reading will be between 270 and 315 (varies). If you can post a pic of the reading it'll be easier to tell if the roller jewel is knocking on the pallet fork (rebanking).

Haven’t looked at subs for a long time ! Seems to have come on a fair bit since I purchased a noob v7 with the greyest bezel indices imaginable haha

I am satisfied that you backed up your claim with a picture, but my dial doesn’t look anything like that. Could it be a defect that varies throughout the batch? Is your picture from a zzf v2?

That's because you haven't seen your dial properly, like many others who think their dial is all good, but when they see it without the crystal then they'll know what's up.

I have looked at my dial from every angle possible, in sun, inside etc etc and can only see a slightly more “punched” dial hole than the gen dial in my franken. If this flaw can only be seen with no crystal then I’m really not that bothered dude, I always wear my watches with a crystal

Without the crystal is one of the ways of seeing the flaw not the ONLY way. I am not sure who you hang out with, but in my circle that ZZF dial doesnt stand a chance dude. I am glad it works for you

I think you need new friends if they are that concerned with your watch

Well, what can I say we have a watch circle, car circle , sports circle , poker circle and we meet new competitive people all the time through friends and their friends. Again, I am happy for you that the people you meet are lacking the fundamental judgement to distinguish that dial - you're very lucky !

I do indeed feel extremely lucky to not hang around with such a bunch of judgemental shallow people, must be exhausting trying to fit in constantly fearing they will call out your fake watch.
This really doesn’t translate to real life though, the only people that know this stuff are also into replica watches, 99% of genuine watch fanatics don’t know anything about reps or the flaws we do, only takes 5 minutes on the Rolex forum to find this out. So if your friends can call out a ZZF, ARF, Noob then it really is nothing to worry about as they are also into reps.

But no matter what you say (or how much support you have from your friends) the ZZF liquidy dial still be an instant tell though ... it doesn't change the fact.

Dang I keep getting excited cause there's updated notifications on this thread only to see y'all 2 going back and forth. Everyone has there own opinions. Stop taking it so personal
back on topic, here's my arf v3 2824: https://imgur.com/a/QF9LKHv
Too bad I'm trying to sell it right now since I already have a arf sd43 v3. I keep looking at both and I love the dial on the sd43, I wish it was in the sub case. (Don't want a sd4k)

Looks great and I also got my QC pics for mine. Although on mine and I think on yours as well the tip of the 12 o clock dial triangle is not in line with the 12 marker in the watch. Also the 30 is offset. Can you spin the dial to perfectly have it centered?

You are correct. Mine was off ever so slightly. The bezel action is not as good as gen but pretty darn close - my bezel had a little play so you can move it into alignment but still, it wasn’t perfect like gen. Although, it didn’t bother me and wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me personally.

RabanJr I didn’t sell it I just got rid of it. Problems were, The 10 o’clock marker was lifting and almost completely lose and, the movement stopped working.
only bad experience I’ve ever had with replicas. All my other watches have been performing better than expected. Just was unlucky with a bad apple. No biggie....
