Hands and dial lume doesn’t match, that the thing with ARF, the hands are lovely (a great shape, the best rep shape) but the Lume they use on the hands and dial is ultra white compared with the zzf or gen dial plots l. It’s captured in that pic quite well.

Dear Members of RWI

After being on this forum for so long and having read so many threads i finally pulled the trigger and the QC pics came in after 3 weeks. Keeping in regulation with the QC pics in mind:

Picture 1:
1) I think that the 6 o clock and the 9 o clock marker looks crooked or is in because of the way its held in the hand?
2) I think the bezel is not exactly placed at the right spot (right above 12 o clock marker) which makes bezel triangle (with the pearl) not align with the 12 o clock marker. Am i correct on this?

Picture 2:
3) It looks as if the crystal is all misshaped (look to the left bottom of the picture) and is sticking out but that must be the angle or something. No way that the crystal can be that weird?

Would love to have some feedback from the experts with eagle eyes here as mine are truly crappy. Thank you all already for your feedback.

Kind regards,

any big differences with zzf hands and gen hands?

Honestly Not a big difference apart from the small triangle on the hour hand i believe it’s smaller on ZZF, however I wish I left my ZZF hands as my gen hands have been scratched

Ya man. Thats what I thought. Zzf hands actually look real good. Good lume and shiny. Only thing is that triangle is slightly smaller and the parts not photogenic.

arf hands lume suck big time.

Finally took the plunge on my first rep, courtesy of Li, so far great service, just awaiting QC.

wanted some advice here though, what is the point people are making on the ZZF V2S Hulk having a sub par bracelet and strap?

From what I gather good SELs are fairly consistent, no complaints on finishing, bracelet may feel lighter than other reps/gen, clasp sentiment is mixed: some see large gaps in the flip lock, they might all have cheap plastic in the glide mechanism, less rounded, etc.

I’ve decided when I get mine I’ll keep the bracelet and use ARFs clasp which doesn’t have the issues mentioned above.

But hey you might get a super good ZZF clasp! Or you could get one that breaks after two uses which I think is rare

Would you say this DW is a bit too low or is it good enough? The DW is ALL I wish to have comments about.

It's actually too fat for ZZF not seen anything like that on the V2. Alignment for ie ARF would be fine but ZZF usually sits right in the center. I would ask for another one unless its 3135 so you can swap it with gen DW which goes for about 150 EUR.

Check the V2S thread you can see lot of QCs there and all are nice thin fonts like gen.

That dw is perfect, absolutely not fat. If you want to see a fat font for comparison go checking arf v3 with sh3135, you will realize that your dw is spot on!

The DW is bolder than initial ZZFs V2 but still its Gen spec, may be around 2010-2015's.

Initial ZZFs V2 DW fonts and Gen 2006 Font for comparison
