ZZF owned the sub market with less than a year of existence. ARF, Noob and ZF crying so hard and too far behind that even updating their own products were not enough to catch up. Lol

I still remember 2 years ago ARF sold V1 with a badly misaligned insert and members love it hahaha. ARF with a lot of QC issues were selling like hotcakes back then. Until ZZF arrived. Lol

My old ARF Hulk was hideous. Was my first purchase and the more I learned the more I ended up disliking it.

ARF is improved too and it is certainly not ugly as someone stated, but let’s be honest saying that in terms of replication level they are subpar, just look at that white lume and square markers, without counting that they still rely on SH for movements on the majority of their watches. And their inserts still fade in 2020.

The problem with ARF is that they are stuck in 2017/2018 way of doing things. Back then they were great: they produced higher quality watches than noob, with slightly better movements and appearances. Their watches were “quality” watches that closely resembled the gen.

Now we are almost in 2021 and new factories are starting to replicate the damn watch instead of just closely resembling it. They are using better dials, better cases, better movements and try to follow customer requests. ARF is “old” as Noob, but at least Noob mastered the Daytona movement so they can continue to exist in this way for now. I don’t see any point of advantage for ARF apart from their bracelets.

After reading and reading and reading,,,
I just really curious about you mate foozoo58

you sound so angry and behave like you've been cheating so much money,,,
1 question : have you bought zzf watch? Or let me change the question, have you bought replica watch? Please post 1 pict to fill my curiousity
Thanks in advance mate

ENOUGH! You don’t want to accept realty. ZZF is no longer a top contender. They lied about their inferior product. the only one to be using 904 is ZF and ARF. We need to wait until both qc pics come our for those and then make a decision. This thread is ridiculous.

First you guys list over how ZZF is and how perfect of a factory they are. And now when you find out they screw you over and charge you extra from something you did not receive you guys still love them and say it’s ok. Talk about having daddy issues. This is why ZF had to sponsor the study. to try to pull the wool out of your eyes. AND IT LOOKS LIKE BY HAVING THAT TEST IT SHOWED WHAT KIND OF FACTORY THEY REALLY ARE—— ONE WHERE THEY ARE CONFIDENT THAT THEY ARE THE BEST


and to answer your question i have many reps. I don’t have anything to prove to you by showing a pic.

ARF is trying to catch up and since they are way too deep they needed more help than updating their sub. Hence, the 904 discussion. If only ARF improved its ugly rehaut, ugly markers, ugly lume, outdated movement, they could still be king of subs. You forgot how ARF milked members here with misaligned pip, misaligned dial, kissing bezel insert, that notorious date wheel? Hahaha.

You kids stop fighting.

Take a look at my early Noob.

This industry has come a relatively long way ever since Angus only spoke broken English.

It still sits on my wrist frequently.

Have fun. Enjoy. Don't fight.

And most importantly, do not blindly believe what you read from salesman.

Before we jump to a lot of conclusions based on hearsay and a result from a competitor:)

let’s look at the facts. Who would have the most to benefit for talking shit about the best selling sub atm :)

here is a couple of photos from my mini review of the ZZF v2.2. There is zero difference in color, and the weight is the same

ZZF v2.2 ARF and a 2019 gen

I was the first one under that thread to say that a comparison “sponsored” by a maker iself was biased.
He said “you’re too young in the rep game, I just took advantage of it” etc without making any valid point.
People also told me that I don’t know the definition of bias.

I just hope they are reconsidering my statement now without firmly believing everything is said. We need proof.

+1

I completely agreed with your first post and was going to say the EXACT same thing, but you beat me to it. I’m “new” to the rep game as well; nevertheless we’re mature and educated individuals who can recognize bias when we see it and know what we value in any replica we purchase. I do believe it’s not best practice for a replica factory to state a watch is made of 904L when it’s not. But it’s also not fair to falsely advertise “upgrades or changes” in a watch that aren’t present.
