Keep your photos coming guys... going to order a V3 myself so great to keep me hooked!
New version up at trustytime with a gold plated A2836 movement. [h=1]https://trustytime.asia/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=352&products_id=22149[/h]
If the insert is an improvement over the V2 then I'm game for an upgrade. Need to see convincing pics.....
Is the bezel teeth improved on zzf v3? Is it still sharp and bigger scallop? Or it has been revised?
Was revised at v2s.

Just a side note the v2s is thrown around a lot but most probably don't realise its v2s no-date that has the updates.
V2s hulk is still the old v2 with just the new insert.
Just received my zzf v3... the crystal is flush with the bezel and not raised at all like my gen. Anyone have any idea how to correct this? Would a different gasket solve this issue?
also as others have said, the bezel is a bit more difficult to turn compared to my gen. Not sure if anyone has recieved a v3 with correct crystal height and or easily rotating bezel? If so, let me know.
the watch is absolutely incredible besides those two issues. I feel like the crystal height is a dead giveaway that it’s a rep though so that’s a bit annoying.

The crystals are all like that on most ZZF's if I remember correctly gen crystal with gen gasket solves the issue.
And the bezel as well they are all like that but should go better with use or using gen springs maybe.
My Gen 116710LN GMT has the crystal exactly flush height with the Bezel.
A Gen Sub has the crystal pretty much flush as well, as per the photos below, or are you fussing over literally fractions of a millimetre?

Sharing my v3 3135 116610lv that arrived a few days back.
Pictured here together with a BK Noob v7 114060 with Spongebob Bezel, along with a JF 16610lv with Gen non-ar crystal.
It has been awhile since I've gotten a rep from a TD, Li has been super great in their customer service and top notch at it.
The last rep I got from a TD was a Noob v5 114060 back a couple of years back, I remeber it being filled with problems here and there but overlooking it as it was a good piece. It was then sold and came about for the v7 from a local deal and I was happy wearing it for this few years as a solid piece of watch.
Looking at the v3 I knew it was a great watch OOTB, but boy did it surprised me with the quality that this piece is. The sel recessed is a beauty, the hands are perfect, the sunburst is beautiful and yes, there are maybe some flaws here and there but they do not bother you that much unless. (if it does, please spend your 20k $ on a gen)
There's no need for nickpicking on a piece that cost barely 3% of what people are selling it for. I had the opportunity to pick up a gen back in 2014 before the crazy surge and hype, but did not have the cash back then. Picked up a 214270 gen from retail to celebrate my birthday 2 years back and it's a keeper. But I've been wearing the sub's more and only keeping special occasions for the gen Exp1.
At the end of the day, it's a hobby for all. And thanks to the hardwork from the factories producing amazing pieces, we get to enjoy it a lot better.

Good feedback and thoughts however I'm not personally sure if i agree that the crystal height is a "dead giveaway" and yes thats from handling gen and rep side by side.
Even so, it’s the only visible difference for me with both my gen and rep in hand. That and the date wheel obviously but that’s going to be changed. I’m just wondering if there’s a way to fix it with a gasket? I mean the crystal is supposed to have the same thickness as gen so perhaps they just used the wrong gasket?
for me it’s a dead giveaway. It’s something I would notice right away as it’s something I’ve always looked at with gen vs rep. But that’s just me.
