Junior is V3 with an updated version of the old 316 bracelet (new clasp).
Both V2 and Junior are full 316.
I just received my ZZF junior 114060. It looks good and runs perfect, but I'm not fully satisfied, because :
1) Although it's a 114060, the case has an engraving "116610". Not a big deal, but still irritating.
2) There is a huge gap between the case and the bezel, probably because of the bezel's spring that seems to work exaggeratedly.
3) As a consequence of the last point, the glass is just at the level of the bezel, or even almost below it.
Conclusion: it's a pity because otherwise this inexpensive version is certainly a very nice rep. But if I had known, I would not have bought it.

2) There is a huge gap between the case and the bezel, probably because of the bezel's spring that seems to work exaggeratedly.
There are a few likely causes, all related to the hytrel ring and/or crystal retaining ring: 1) the hytrel ring was installed upside down and/or 2) the hytrel ring was distorted/mishapen during installation of the bezel assembly and/or 3) the crystal retaining ring wasn't pressed flush with the case.
Some great info from KJ2020 and others in these threads: https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...99#post9525999 and https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...as/8465378-hytrel-bezel-retaining-rings/page6

Hi All,
Today received the ZZF Junior 116610LN 2824 from Li at Jtime.
The watch is a gift, and for $318 with shipping, it is an okay replica.
The bezel is not as nice as the ZZF V2, and overall the watch does not have the level of finish as a VSF Aqua Terra 8500 (my benchmark for replica watches). It is okay as a gift for a 25-year-old, but replicas have gotten so good I am spoiled and prefer the level of finishing of the ZZF V2 or other VSF replica watches.
So much of it comes down to the intangibles, how it feels in your hand. I will say the Asian 2824 is a smoother operating movement than the Asian 3135
Cheers
P.S. Part of the pleasure of the hobby is I can now see the differences in models and factories.

Hello everyone,
I also ordered from Li two ZZF junior 116610 LN & LV that I received earlier this week and I'm really satisfied with the watches. In my opinion they are so nice and the price is unbeatable !
The hulk is mine and the black one for a friend, both with A2836 for easy maintenance one day!
Of course they are not flawless, but nothing is spoiling my enthusiasm. What I can notice by myself is the DW not properly centered on the green one, better on the black. The bezel of the black has a hard point turning half the way. Probably the bracelets / lugs are not perfect, but it's good enough for me.
Here are few pictures

Looks great. How is the performance of the watch? Any other niggles that you have noticed in this last month? I am considering picking up the junior zzf, and looking for feedback on the watch. Your observations would be greatly appreciated.
What should be with the performance?
It manages 60 minutes per hour and 60 seconds every minute, which is actually normal for a watch.
Fun, sorry but that had to be done.
Seriously: The movement is slightly "sandy" when ex-works, but that is common. But runs stably, and for the price you have a really awesome watch!
Haha! No that’s great thanks. I’ve placed an order through Mirotime, just awaiting confirmation
I was in two minds, as was going to pay a bit more for a green oyster perp 41 until I seen this thread
It will have to be my next one now. Relatively new, and evidently inexperienced when it comes to the rep game

Ciao Bonguy,
The performance of the watch is very good (hulk). It keeps the time very well, the crown and winding is very smooth and I didn't had to adjust the time since I'm wearing it, almost every day. It's definitely good the price. The only minus on my hulk is the date wheel too much on the left from number 1 to 19, then it's better on the 20'serie.
Regarding the black one (I'm not wearing it, it's for a friend), the bracelet is not as well adjusted to the lugs like on the green one, but the date wheel is much better centered with all digits. Also the bezel has some hard point when you rotate it, and the crown action and winding is not smooth like on the green one, maybe it needs some oil and /or cleaning. Since that on both watches I have improved the brushing so the steel is more lively/clear. Out of the box the steel looks a bit dark from rought brushing. I'll publish new pictures later !
So my advise is to be precise when you get your QC, be lucky, but there is always a flaw somewhere, they are replicas. I happily bought those watches at jtime FYI

As always, it's also a good deal of luck.
So far I have had 2x ZZF Submariner 116610LN.
1. V3 where everything was actually good except for the bezel, which had 1mm play in vertical view
2. ZZF Junior, where the work was VERY sandy and the rotor turned when it was wound up. My watchmaker then oiled the ratchet wheels and the machine function, saying it was very dry.
That cost me 25 bucks
Now it's like new

Hello,
What you describe on your 2. is exactly what is happening to the black one. I'll take it to my watchmaker in Prague to fix it, thanks!

Pretty excited to report that my 116610 LN is on the way from JTime. Li and Lana were a pleasure to deal with. I have so far been absorbing all the info here at RWI about the ZZF Junior Editions and the various versions. I'm looking forward to receiving mine. Will post pictures when it arrives, tracking shows the package has left Hong Kong yesterday. I'm based in the US.
Look what made its way to me.
