Bought a zzf sub (supposedly)no lume on it

Recommended Posts

Bought a no date zzf sub on another forum. Really  really like the watch. But it has zero lume. In all fairness seller was really nice and up front about it and sold it cheap. 

 

My question is can you get this relumed? Hands, dial and bezel pearl? Or not worth the effort and   just buy a new one like rxf zzf v2 or arf

Not sure about the pearl, but the rest can surely be relumed, but, providing to find who is able to do that, it will not be cheap: 100$ isn't a crazy request for such job.

I doubt it's a zzf.  Can you post a picture or two?

The bezel pearl actually lines up at the 12 o’clock. Which I think is sort of rare with subs.  Got this really to see if I would like a no date sub. And I actually like the no date more than the cyclops crystal.

You most likely got scammed... Would try contact a mod on the website you got it from perhaps...

Sucks.

I could see that bulbous pearl and also the LEC on the crystal from a mile away and I’m no expert :D

How does it tick?

If it's like the one on the right, it's definitively a low budget one:

Lol. Most likely :facepalm:

I had a feeling. Paid like $150 so not really bummed about it. And lol no I don’t wear it out. But I actually like this bezel and insert more than a noob v9 that I got a while back from Trusty. Not gonna go after this relume though. Was thinking about reluming and using this bezel and  dial with some arf/noob spare parts.  Maybe making a somewhat honest watch out of this. But now that you guys completely destroyed any thought of ever using this watch for anything : ) I will just look for a legit bezel and dial somewhere.  Thanks for the help and all the jokes :notworthy:
