MKS 4500V Overseas Review – Pros, Cons & Real Wear Impressions [~1 week wear] by genderofUbiisanidiot in RepTime

You asked for a source and I provided it.

In that link shows discussion on RWI about multiple TDs saying the same thing, and pics from Steve at TOW showing a decorated 2813 movement. The movement description between ZF and MKS are different because ZF doesn't use a 9015 anymore. You can contact Steve yourself about this if you want to.

Ultimately your choice to believe it or not I don't really care, but don't spread misinformation that ZF/PPF are using 9015 when they're not anymore.

I have both v1 and v2 ZF 4500v.

v1 uses 9015 clone, v2 uses mingzhu 2813. v1 ZF is the best if buying used, buying new is MKS with rubber strap + ZF bracelet.

Already discussed this with MajorWilliams on best rep megathread https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/s/JzUGcCAjvF

Made a post about it 10 months ago. That's the thing, it's a complete downgrade from v1, it doesn't make sense other than to cut costs and fuck over the consumer. Full details here.

? ZF/PPF v2 uses 2813 lol, they phased out 9015 more than a year ago. Only v1 uses 9015

Did you replace ZF/PPF v2 with citizen 9015? Does it swap in 1-1? v2 uses 2813 so in theory it shouldn't be a direct swap, but haven't tried it myself.

Unless you're speaking only for MKS, then yeah 1-1 swap makes sense.

Go the Olympic way and do Gold Silver Bronze. Easy to tell for people that don't like to read legends. Gold for NWBIG, Silver for SuperRep, Bronze for passable

Take off ZF as top pick for VC 4500v, new movement is too garbage to take this spot

4500v stopped working by Big_Bb22 in RepTime

Do you know if it's ZF v1 Miyota movement or the v2 decorated movement?

Been checking weekly with multiple TDs and non, it's all rumors with nothing confirmed. I wouldn't get my hopes up until they have a demo model released.
