Just got to the lab, I did not bring the entire watch with me today just the extra links that I have. Was in a rush as football is on today lol. This is going to be from a ZZF 116610LV Hulk with the 3135 movement. Initial QC pics were sent to me from Trusty on 09/12/2020. Give me about 25 minutes I should have results by then.

Here are the results. It is most likely 316L and not even close to 904L.

Well, what to say. First, thank you for confirming this. Second, regardless of my opinion of 904L not being that important, we can all only say thanks to Angus for telling us. Third, now ZZF should adjust their prices as soon as possible. What about contacting JTime to have an explanation from ZZF? We should make them know that we know.

they will say they need 100% proof and need to buy a machine to “ help us” but it will comes
with a price tag reflecting to all Watxhes in there collection lol:p


anyway thanks for letting us know that pure time is not the only messenger but almost every factory scam us!

the result doesn't change my mind about the quality of the ZZF but I won't buy it again if it doesn't drop the price by at least $ 100. it would be interesting to know if the bracelet of the ZZF v.3 is also in 316, as Angus / Arf claims (Lì writes on his website that it is the same as the Arf)

I’ll write Li with the result, let’s see what happens :)

Yes. We know that he is not the one who makes the watch but it's the closest with zzf. They should do something. Keeping things like that is not going to be good for them. I would equally buy their v3 in case is better than VSF but many people won't anymore.

Anyway, even if I joked about this because it's the last of the problems, as I stated before when I had a zzf I immediately noticed that their steel appeared yellower and very poorly finished. I thought it was a matter of brushing but it wasn't. Also I have read that some users tried to rebrush their bracelet with poor results. It's nothing you will notice too much in real life but it was there.

I got a ZZF v3 and a VSF hulk on order. I don’t really care about the steel. Like previously stated, there is no difference visually or to the feel from my gens.

But they should be honest in their marketing going forward, because they really do make a great product.

Ill report back when I hear from Li :)

They do make good products. They should now advertise and price them correctly. Thanks, let us know.

This is such BS!!! How do we even know that MikeMeezy77 is independent? He could be a Puretime spy!!!!?! Hoax!!!!!

Also, 9/11 was a US conspiracy and Coronavirus just a global power grab.

I wonder what happens next. Will we see £100 reductions in second hand ZZF prices on M2M?

puretime I am so sorry this forum ever doubted you. You have been honest with us and it is not fair you were attacked when you were just trying to help.


I hope with this new information in mind, people will now trust angus when he tells us that he thinks ZF is the best rep of 2020. After all, he should have earned your trust now that you know he was not lying about zzf being a phony.
