@puretime not the side profile, as much as the top/frontal view thats more important. We are judging the frontal view in one of the threads, but I think CGs should have their own thread ND ratings

When Angus did that thread asking which hulk watch is gen... the people focused on CG were the ones who got it wrong. This CG hype is laughable. Let Angus do his review, I'm sure he can provide extra pics/opinions after.

Nearer than you think
Black Hole and Halo Effect must have their own comparison.


I can't believe we have a comparison for the case engravings and we don't have one for the Black Hole.

No one will see your lug engravings, EVERYONE will see the lack of black hole effect.

It's incredible how these vital aspects are being ignored like this.

These comparasioms are crazy. I can't believe how many models have the wrong hands. The wrong size/lenght hands. They're all over the place.

On the gen, the minute hand is just short of the minute hash marks while the pointed tip of the hour hand should just skim the edge of the 3/6/9/12 markers.

It’s the hands I don’t care too much about. We are all different..

I can agree with that, but we also have to be objective, NO ONE is gonna see the length of the hands from a meter away, NO ONE is gonna see under your lugs for the engravings.

Also i really doubt that crown guards can be spotted at an harm's length.


But the crystal dude, the crystal is literally the first thing that you see, even from meters away. You can see the reflection instantly. I can't believe that lug
engravings will be used to define the best sub, while the black hole / halo effect are being totally ignored.

I always changed them so it never really matters to me but looking at the pics in the thread it just struck me as... Noticible.

Gen crystal, gen hands, gen DW are a must regardless of which factory you use.

That's unfair and totally unrealistic, "just" that brings the price over 1.1k easily, you are more than doubling the price of all of the subs like this, and by changing all these parts this whole comparison has no reason to be.

If you think about it this way it's not a "who makes the best sub" contest, but a "who makes the best frankening base" or a "who makes the best sub case" since you can basically swap everything except that.

Also, if you are gonna change all those pieces then one or the other is basically the same, get the least expensive one or the one that has the best feeling bracelet.

You want a $500 rep to be at the same level as a $9000 watch? Keep dreaming...

No I already told you my method.
I make no attempt to identify the maker. If I am able to tell based off of a certain flaw which maker it is, it’s gets minus a point for the flaw.
It seems like you assume everyone wants to play favorites.
Fair enough, it's pretty clear that's not the case for others

I'll help, I will work my way through the list over the week. However, these watches all look good in pictures. You have them all in hand next to a gen. You can 'feel' them, you can feel the quality of the finishing of sidelinks and tightness of glidelocks. I bought a zzfv2s because it looked great in pictures but it was junk.

Can you give us your honest opinion which one looks, feels and most gen like best?
V2s not junk

... is not under C but it is under B
look at the serials
(Angus states ... is under C, which is not correct...consequentially, if he made this error in designating, it shuffles all the other ones too I guess)

edit: oops, my bad. Sorry. Disregard this post. I misread it.
originally, I put the maker name in the post. Now it’s been changed to ... so as not to influence voting

Done. That was actually quite exhausting.
puretime thanks for putting this together and responding to all the comments.
At the rate new Subs are being released, this will need to be an annual event with a larger field of contestants. :)
