Hi,

Apologies if this is something that has been covered before (I have looked but couldn’t find anything).

I know the original concensus upon the release of the VSF DateJust 126334 was that the ARF bracelet was more superior to the VSF and it was a worthy upgrade on a franked build. With the 'post raid' batches, does this still apply?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Ross

The ARF bracelet does not quite fit the VSF perfectly and has a tendency to apply upward pressure on the bezel. After a good oil bath the quality of the two is about the same. I wouldn't bother.

Like pistebasher mentioned above, the VSF oyster bracelet is of really great quality in my experience, and switching it out for an ARF one would be a lateral move at best. what’s more, you run the risk of the ARF not fitting exactly right and creating an ugly gap between the solid endlinks and case, which wouldn’t be present with the VSF stock bracelet.

Exactly.

Sorry for the delayed response, I didn't see the notification.

Thanks for the advice, I'll stick with the VSF bracelet.
