Hello fellas,

First of all I want to thank the creators of this wonderful and diverse online community for creating the opportunity to enjoy watches by having massive collections, purchasing ONLY from TD's. Also, big thanks to all the members who inform and support any questions any of us can have. My 3rd watch arrived today, thank God it got through CNY, was the longest 3 weeks of my life. Gained 20 lbs cause of the anxiety to have this watch on my wrist lol. That's not relevant, so let's get to what the threads about.

1) Watch came in a plastic Rolex service box as we all know, adds a nice feeling to the experience. On top of that a thick plastic bag well sealed (don't know if from ARF or TD)

2) You open the box and it smells awesome, HAHAHA.

3) you get the watch on your hands and feels awesome as fk.

4) the watch is heavily protected with stickers. Loves pulling them off, left the clasp one to protect from deskdives for a few weeks.

5) The xtal of the watch is very very close to gen, the clicks and feel of the clasp is awesome.

6) Boxy lugs? What Boxy lugs?? I'm a Rolex fan with OCD and don't notice it.

7) datewheel is amazing, looks like it's updated.

8) Sizing the bracelet, screws came out smooth.

Now to the pics.

If you're doubting of buying the ARF sub cause it's not perfect or on Omad's list, don't hesitate, I was also doubting but what a fking great decision I made! It's amazing, you'll love the watch and take 1k wristies daily. It may have flaws, but I don't notice em. All things are aligned. A big thanks to my TD , Sead, he's amazing.

I feel I can push the bezel when I apply down force, that normal cause of springs?

Congrats. Seems to be a high quality rep:) Could you pls post a close up pic of the bezel? Are the numbers coloured or PVD coated? Thanks

Looks great! Are you happy with all the OCD stuff? Like, 12 o'clock marker alignment with, date window and all of that...? I have one of the first versions from BK going back 5 years or so now. BK did his usual fix up to bring it to an acceptable rep level. Seems to me these new versions may have ironed out those niggly issues which BK is so famed with sorting out?
