Just placed an order for the Sea-Dweller 2017 Baselworld 126600 ARF 1:1 Best Edition 904L SS Case and Bracelet A2824 V3 with PT. I just got my QC pictures today. The Date font looks a little off to me and insert engravings but you give me your opinions on it? Accept or Go with the SD43 ARF V2 that everybody loves??

Looks pretty fantastic to me. No grotesque misalignment. The date font is the same date disc ARF uses on all their A2824 models, including the V2 of this watch.

If it were me, I’d immediately accept this one.

Looks great. And you cant get a V2 anymore as ARF simply don't make it now.

I've never purchased or handled a rep but I'm still floored and amazed by how good they are. Having owned this gen watch, even I am fooled. Just amazing. My curiosity is growing.

agreed. looks like the bezel might be slightly misaligned, but that's pretty common. Same on mine. i would accept.

I've just received mine and the bezel has fallen off, not impressed.

I agree, it doesn’t look quite right to me. The date font and alignment looks good though.

Maybe you can also help me out. I placed my order for the same watch few days ago on Puretime. Today I recieved the QC pictures. I've marked all the spots on the pictures which are eye-catching for me. Could you please give me your opinion on my thoughts? Thanks in advance!

1: Looks like there are some unclear black dots in the marked area
2: Looks like a sratch on the surface
3: Looks like there is a tiny gap between these two parts of the watch





These are the remaining pictures:

It's just dust and particles and the back protective plastic that is kinked a bit, you can ask the TD to double check that for you but I don't see a reason to reject it there
