VSF VS3135 Submariner Comparison Against the Gen

[stufuse]

True plus the lume issue. ZF hands actually look really close to gen from QC pics. I don't think anyone has one in hand yet.

You’re right KJ, they look to be the better set apart from the AR set, Need to see the curvature, in the pics so far they look kind of flat but you just need the right reflection. Need to see if the edges appear a little rough as they do in pics, VS hands were actually fine in that respect (on mine anyway)

Am I going to have to order one? lol

Here’s a custom DLC sub gen dial and hands

You’ll notice the ZZF look much closer than in the comparison pics of the factories

Who can get zzf hands? I have asked a couple of TDs and they say they can’t

Best bet is to buy two watches you want to hybrid

How does your QC pictures of the clasp look? I’m on my second now, but still not sure....

Yeah I just carelessly greenlighted one like this... but I think it’s just the angle of the inner hinge or at least I am hoping

I’m kind of hoping that the clasp isn’t properly closed (maybe because of some plastic) on the second picture.... Everything else has looked very good on both watches.

Agreed bro. I wonder about those "gen" hands though, I wasn't aware Rolex had different styles for the Sub C LN, and there is definitely a difference between those and all of these on Bob's. Thinner borders, larger lume plots. Especially apparent on the hour hand, which looks smaller overall. It's the same on my RXF.

In any event, I appreciate the DLC post as I have been looking for a home for a beautiful blue sunburst Sub dial I have. This is it, yeah!

But the bezel ring is completely wrong.

I’m Not so sure about that.

This is a good ZZF bezel. But the manufacturing spread at ZZF is very large.

 

[Substar]

That’s the bezel on the V2s no date and was very close.

It’s interesting you say that, last few sets of hands I’ve had have ‘116619’ on their packaging and my parts guy (who has an RSC) says they are all the same. Maybe not the case if those images are anything to go by.

I’ve mentioned my thoughts about the ZZF hands and my reasoning is coz I feel personally they look like the Gen hands that I’ve bought. Though those images on bobs are definitely different. Can it be down to lighting

Here’s a pic of last set (1 of 2 set I purchased) in their sleeve again to me they are the same as The gen hands in the DLC and in that comparison pic I posted. And not as far from The ZZF as the one in the bib watches pic. Very interesting indeed.
