[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hello![/FONT]


[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Anyways....longtime forum reader. I have finally decided to buy a rep, "franken it", and see how my experience with the hobby goes. [/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]After much thought I am going to go with an ARF DATEJUST 36 116234 SS V2 904L ARF 1:1 BEST EDITION WITH 904L SS OYSTER BRACELET SA3135. (Prob the Blue Dial)[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I have learned enough to know I need to at least replace the datewheel and service the 3135 movement as I hear that is also a must. Now Just trying to do my due diligence and decide which TD to go with, if I should possibly replace any other parts with gen, and find who is the best "modder" or watchmaker to replace the datewheel . Fun Times! [/FONT]

I am also interested with DateJust 36 SS 116234 ARF 1:1 Best Edition 904L Steel White Dial on Jubilee Bracelet SH3135 V2

Why do you choose SA3135 instead of SH3135?

Thanks did not know that. In the link I posted it was for the SH3135....but in the comments I put SA. So from what I am understanding the DateJust 36 SS 116234 ARF 1:1 Best Edition 904L Steel Blue Dial on Oyster Bracelet SH3135 V2 can take some gen parts right?

Changed my mind. Getting this. Just trying to decide if the L is weak or poorly printed in ROLEX on the dial. https://imgur.com/a/EMUpew9
