Yesterday marked a significant milestone for me: the arrival of my first replica watch, a ZZF V2 Rolex Submariner 114060 with a 2836 movement. After a full day wearing it, I felt compelled to share my comprehensive review, hoping it will be helpful to others considering a similar purchase. This review will cover various aspects, from a quick comparison to a genuine Rolex (Gen) to a detailed pictorial analysis, touching upon the strengths and weaknesses of this particular replica. We'll also briefly compare it to the ZZF V2 Submariner 116610 LN to highlight key differences.
Quick Review of ZZF New 114060 No Date Submariner VS Gen:
The ZZF V2 114060 aims for a high level of accuracy in replicating the iconic Rolex Submariner No-Date (reference 114060). However, it's crucial to remember that even the best replicas are not perfect copies. A trained eye will be able to spot differences. The key areas where discrepancies might appear include:
* The Bezel: While the ZZF V2 boasts improved bezel action and a more accurate font compared to earlier versions, minute imperfections in the engravings and the overall feel might subtly differ from a genuine bezel. The click action, while smooth, might not possess the exact same crispness and satisfying tactile feedback as a Gen. The lume pip placement and intensity can also be a point of difference.
* The Dial: The dial on the ZZF V2 is generally considered very good. The font, markers, and overall printing are remarkably close to the genuine article. However, minute details like the depth and reflectivity of the markers, as well as the subtle variations in lume application, might reveal its replica status under close scrutiny.
* The Hands: Similar to the dial, the hands are a strong point of the ZZF V2. The shape, length, and lume are well-executed. However, the subtle nuances of the metal finish and the way the lume interacts with light might betray the replica's origins.
* The Movement: The 2836 movement, while a reliable workhorse, is not a direct copy of the Rolex caliber 3130 found in the genuine 114060. While it offers decent accuracy and longevity, it lacks the refined finishing and intricate detailing of the genuine Rolex movement.
* The Case: The case is generally well-executed, with accurate dimensions and proportions. However, the finishing, particularly the brushing and polishing, might not achieve the same level of perfection found on a genuine Rolex. The weight and heft are also noticeable differences. A Gen feels significantly more substantial.
In summary, the ZZF V2 114060 offers a remarkably close approximation of the genuine article. For the average person, the differences are subtle and might go unnoticed. However, a seasoned collector or someone familiar with genuine Rolex watches will likely be able to distinguish the replica.
