So im not gonna bore you guys with a full detailed review on the ln version but I will for the hulk as we have all see the ln plenty of times
but here are some of the key features of this watch

1 the dial is SICK the print layout and markers look gen maybe the markers are gold plated.
2. The insert Is SICK the plat look gen it must be real plat the number and font are amazing the black is inky as hell.the pearl is the only tell
3. the sel is SICK recessed on all 4 sides evenly on both my zzf hulk and ln examples and I didnt even get any qc pics.
4.the lugs are not as bad as I was expecting not perfect but better than the arf boxy shit

Arf bracelet fits well but no need as the zzf and arf bracelets look and feel the same.the arf clasp is way way better in terms of looks and aesthetics
but the clasps work well

Hands are ok arf still better with the 3d look

Datewheel font is good and centred on both of my examples.will look fine under a gen xtal


Now the pics

Gen on the right

And now just a few pics of the zzf alone
Sel is perfectly recessed on all sides

Lugs are nice sharp and angled pretty well. Not perfect though as they should curve more on the flanks

And a sneak peek at the hulk.im loving these watches man

Zzf. The lugs are almost perfect

Looking again at this the lugs are amazing

see the post #53 , indentation is a problem that can not be ignored for some

I've not seen that issue on my examples .and I ain't even bother asking for qc pics.but li said he has told the Cf to fix up that

Feels about the same mate

How does the bezel click and firmness compare to your gen example ?

Gen is much looser and smoother.these zzf bezels feel way more tighter and stiff
but feel great if you ain't never felt a gen bez assembly but its not like gen if I'm honest

 

[blurred_line]

Yes it's present on gen. ZZF LN dial attempts to copy this, although there seems to be some variation on the size of the indentation. Most seem good, but I think some QC photos showed it as overly large.

Thank you! And yes, those QC pictures are what got me thinking as well

One glaring fault, the zzf Submariner font is way too white and thick compared to the bottom row of fonts. Instant tell

This is how the gen is it's not a fault. The only fault on the dial is the x in rolex

 

[Tigerdragon]

Thats how the new gen dials are yes.

Ok so .... Zzf v2 flaws:

1) bezzel sharp teeth
2) flaw in X in Rolex
3) sometimes, bad liquid dial
4) pearl
5) sometimes, misaligned markers

?? Please add any more that I've missed. I'm comparing to my arf v3 ln
​​​seeing all the hype and dial/markers review, makes this really appealing to me. I'm on the fence of selling my arf v3 2824 for a zzf v2 2836 (picked these movements so that it can easily replaced with etas if needed.)

 

[Tigerdragon]

misaligned markers saw a lot of dials with that.

1) bezzel sharp teeth
2) flaw in X in Rolex
3) sometimes, bad liquid dial
4) pearl
5) sometimes, misaligned markers
6) dull insert under low light
7) milky dial (black dial)
8) wide indentation (black dial)
9) flat hands

 

[piNNoy]

Dang and it's still qualifying itself as the best ootb sub probably because of the beautiful dial markers. I think I'll keep my arf sd43 v3 and wait a bit to buy this sub lol.

Thanks for the input guys. I can't deny that the dial markers are amazing. It's one thing that I stare at in a dial

 

[Hormoaning]

Tell me please where is flaw with X in Rolex?
