ZZF SUBMARINER V2 LN VS GEN PICTORIAL REVIEW!!!!!!!!!

[JDM180]

All zzfv2 cases have x near rolex code?

Oh wow just noticed that !!

 

[2841]

I’m trying to decide between this and the zzf 114060 v2. I should be the same case, bracelet and bezel. But what about the quality of the dial? Did you have the 114060 in hand smoke

Is the Submariner black from ZZF V2 version better than the noob v10 or the arf v3 version I want de best one. by which one is the pearl right centered at 12 a clock

i had a arf version and by that watch it wasn't correct centered

you’re describing QC issues..

please read the respective threads and draw your own picture as nobody here will be able to tell you which one to go for. all of the mentioned modes have their flaws, pick one based on your research and personal preference.
if you want no to indistinguishable flaws, go gen

This question has been answered in this very thread and four others. Nothing wrong with asking questions, but ask the right questions.

This might be a silly question, but will the ZZF 3135 version take SH3135 movement? And the other way round: will this dial fit a noob V9 with SH3135? I am guessing the answer is yes but would like to confirm

I had to try the ARF bracelet on the ZZF to see if there is any change in fitment. Recesses just slightly more. This is also using the ZZF springbars on the ARF bracelet (also slightly better fit).

ZZF springbars - slightly wider spaced flanges

ARF springbars

One of the first things I do on a rep is always change the spring bars. You only have to lose a watch once before you do that too. But I always try to go for gen or at least gen spec springbars.

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.)

Is the case serial an issue ? I cant see how many digits are on there all together but is the X at the start a misprint of ROLEXX On the rehaut rather than the start of an 8 digit serial.

Ordered one. Let's see how it looks like.

Does it need crystal swap smoke ?

I can change crystal, hands and dw. The dial looks fine to me,
How about the crown?

​​​​​​​Thanks

Smoke,
thank you for providing this post. I really appreciate your expertise!

 

[Smoke]

Gen xtal yeah

 

[uptowner]

I think after 2 years of sitting on the side lines in gonna order this thing from li

Any idea on which xtal I should get? Ebay still the best place?

Seems like if the insert is the right color, sel are good and the bracelet is good, it's the only thing I'll need to change.

Did you open the movement and see how clean it is? smoke

 

[Exploidz]

Does anybody know a way to make the bezel turn more easily cause it’s stiff af

two options:
- keep on turning it
- destruct the bezel and clean everything, it could be that there is some dirt left from the factory within the construction

Yep. Why you’d want an SH over the vR I’m it sure

I would love to put the ZZF dial on my franken where V9 was used as a base

Hmm, so I have an ARF V1 with gen dwo, gen xtal and gen click springs. Reading through this thread got me thinking I should pick-up a ZZF v2 and move my gen parts over...along with the ARF bracelet also Thoughts?

 

[IrishMT-09]

How do you find the rehaut on this new v2? Thanks in advance
