jp09 1 Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) @Bill_Niggs which factory made this sub? Edited May 20, 2019 by jp09 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FudgyDocker 3,500 Posted May 20, 2019 @jp09, the clue is in the title of the listing (and the description), as with all TD's listings . I'll give you a clue. One of the words is Factory.... Suffice to say, it isn't one of the 4 compared above! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The colour of the engravings on the bezel is not good either. The pearl depth is the worst of the 4 reps, too. There's probably more but I would say, looking at the close-ups, Noob is quite exposed and looking like "Noob does disappoint!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulvillo 364 Posted May 21, 2019 Hello again RWG members, And yeah, I know some details that people want to see were not shown in this topic yet. But don’t worry. As I mentioned in this topic title that this is a PART I review, so there will be a PART II coming soon as well. Actually, we are planning to tear the watches apart (maybe not the new GEN lol) and do a deeper comparison on some other parts such as hands, dial, bracelet, case, crown and etc. Please keep on attention to it, I think you will see more interesting things in our PART II review.Hey Li, definitely looking forward to part II Not to mention the price point for this. Just curious, are you in any way affiliated to ZZF?Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I am also very glad that many of our members like this thread. My team and I will share some more interesting stuffs here later on. Thank you all. One thing I noticed is that the engravings in the rehaut are not as good as they supposed to be. The engravings in the rehaut of the genuine are double lined... ZZF still didn't get it spot on but I think this is a relatively easy thing to fix. Through the pictures I see that Noob has the most accurate engravings in the rehaut IMO. Besides that, ZZF has the potential to be the most accurate replica so far. Congratulations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not a flaw for ZZF. There are two types of the rehaut. Old - engraved and new rehaut - laser etched. In these photos gen, arf, noob are old rehaut, zzf and nail are new rehaut. Tho, ZZF rehaut is not top quality. jtime, congrats on this crystal - this is a first time when we see a rep crystal with the correct edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crystal is new, insert and bezel are new too. I like what you did, like how you are developing the new parts. I can't stand those makers who take noob/bp parts, mix them all together and call it "the best super rep from a new factory!" Now it happens every two fucking week. You should be a TD here, RWG is bigger than RG, it is much more relaxed board but there are many solid members, oldfags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herkplt 2 Posted May 21, 2019 I've been trying to decide between the ARF and Noob. This ZZF seems to have it all. Looking forward to part II. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
