So, can you please tell me, is it any sign that you know your watch is fully wound? Because i have learned from some threads, and I assume that my watch is already fully wound, so it starts getting roughly after that I can’t wind anymore.

When the fuel tank of your car is full, what do you do? Most likely your answer is that you stop filling it up further (the fuel will spill out). While you try to continue, the fuel pump will work against you and that is what you feel from your watch. I wouldn’t advise to force it, as you win nothing but may lose everything.
For fucks sake can you not quote the whole post including all the pictures?

Looks like my question got buried amongst the slew of new posts haha!
If any knowledgable owner could chime in, I’d really appreciate it.
Has anybody body carried out any mods (or plan to) for their ZZF V3 Hulk? Does the up-dated crystal/cyclops make upgrading to a gen redundant? How does the dial compare to the Clean factory version?
Finally, if you also own an ARF bracelet, would you say that these new V3’s are actually ARF quality?

dunno
i have both, my personal judgment is that the ZZF is not identical to the bracelet on the ARF but it isn't worse
brushing on the bracelet (and case) seems slightly different than ARF

I’m in the process of doing my mini review of ZZF V3 vs VSF... I can tell you that the ZZF bracelet is fantastic. Very well done. It feels just as good as my ARF 116710LN bracelet - better in fact due to slightly more rounded corners on the end links (not as sharp as my ARF). Clean Factory and ARF did a really great job on the ZZF V3 bracelet. It’s like night and day vs the ZZF V2 bracelet. Much better quality and feel.

Thanks bros. What about the clasp 2 lock click sound? Is it solid like ARF?
i am using ARF bracelet but the clasp got some flaw and I am looking to change it. But now i am lost which to buy.
Buy a brand new ARF bracelet set or a new zzf v3 (bracelet set and maybe look at the case quality like cg etc). And sell off da rest of the parts.

Correct, I'm always using 'Squirt Dry Wax'...works very good, when applying it is a fluid, so it wil penetrate almost everywhere. Once dried, the wax will stay, you just have to clean the bracelet with a dry cloth.
Best trick is to heat the wax and the bracelet a little before putting it on so it will penetrate better.
The bracelet will feel a lot 'smoother' and it stays for a couple of weeks like this.

A couple of weeks! Lol. Use mineral oil (aka Baby Oil), it lasts a lot longer than that!!!!

I have an arf bracelet on my zzf v2s. The bracelet that came with the v2s wasn't great so i bought the arf for it. ootb it was much better than the zzf v2s, but after finishing the edges of the links with a leather belt and lubricating it with 3in1 oil, it feels just like my genuine 116610 bracelet!

Honestly, you should not lubricate metal bracelets. It will attract dust and dirt particles as it’s sticky. And dust particles attached to two moving pieces of metal equal abrasion, meaning your bracelet will last less.
And no, cleaning it thoroughly won’t remove the lubricant (and if it does, what’s the purpose of applying it in the first place). Just wear the bracelet and they will get better in a matter of days/weeks.

I am really curious of the leather belt technique
Could you do a tutorial please
If you’re in America I’m sure you own a gun. If oil you use on your freedom stick is good. Then it’s good enough for a wrist watch!
I lubed my V6S once! Almost 4 years ago. And not one issue with the band/noise.
if you don’t have gun lube..go buy a freedom stick defend your freedom.
Then lube your watch.

Take the belt off your jeans, fold it over, rub/scrape the edges of your links with it until the sharp edges becomes softer. You will know you are done when the link can no longer shave your fingernail. It's as simple as it sounds, there is no need for a tutorial.
