Common issues with ARF

[fsucrzy]

Hey guys, looks like the pearl is misaligned, the 9 o clock marker on bezel is not straight, bezel spacing is off on the 9 o clock side, could be bad paint on 9 o clock marker and is that crown correct? Short story, are these things common enough to GL, or are those hard RLs? https://imgur.com/a/ZmqIs3s

All common unfortunately, TD will tire of you refusing watches on common flaws. One of two you might get away with it. You’ll likely refuse one, and then not like something on another.

I bought two at a time, over a couple months, flipped them bought another , I got the one I wanted eventually.

central Pearl, good insert engraving alignment.

I Then modded it with xtal and date wheel

Lovely example stufuse. Did you use the existing ARF gasket with the prof crystal? I'm about to order one I think.

Yes,the prof gasket is no good for ARF

What did the gen crystal, gen (modded) date wheel and work set you back? It looks great! My ARF pearl is also off center. (Pearl fell out after four days, still waiting on the replacement).

Besides the black hole, is the gen crystal really worth it? I’ve made a no date ARF

Watch was £365 + ship

It’s not a Gen xtal it’s a prof xtal
They are £125+ shipping

Gen Date wheel (new unblistered) was £135

Date wheel mod install, xtal install and pressure test was £70

Watch is now water resistant to 5ATM.

Where did you have the watch water tested and the gen datewheel installed?

Hello there..

I had a local watch Smith replace the crystal to profs. He used the ARF gasket instead of profs. But its abit misaligned. Is it an alignment issue or a cyclops positioning issue? Should I get the watch Smith to use prof's gasket? Thank you!
