No I don't have a link, don't think it was specifically the datejust but someone tested one of the 904l ARF watches and it passed, case and bracelet

So Date Just still could be 316 then

Unless you have your own watch tested there is absolutely no way of telling. I think the watch that was tested was the daytona, it comes from same factory (ARF) and they claim both watches are 904L. Whether you take their word for it or not is up to you! The rep factories have lied many times such as the whole gold wrapped fiasco but I personally believe them on this, they are aware of the fora and let's face it it's the discerning rep buyer that is going to pay over $400 for a rep, these aren't the mass produced sell loads regmariner like watches that are punted out everywhere - they know their audience and know that testing the watch is inevitable.

Hi guys! Just looked up the material of the case at it is indeed 316F Stainless Steel. Here's the extract from InTime:

"Case - 1:1 high-quality 316F stainless steel, screw-in back, and crown, deep and double line engraved rehaut, brighter and more accurate engravings, random serial number engraved at 6:00 of the rehaut. Different random serials

Source: https://www.intime01.co/rollie/4278...-white-dial-on-ss-oyster-bracelet-sa3135.html

So only the bracelet is 904L. Still a gorgeous watch tho!

Same with me. I purchased Franken ARF 116234. It has gen dial and DW. Do I need to source Crown as well?

Try adding another link. The watch is too tight and this also gives the impression that its smaller.

If there are any audiophiles around...

Noob here, just placed an order of this beauty (silver dial on oyster), hopefully will be getting it in the next couple of weeks. Thinking to order a noob date wheel as well and have the movement service while installing the date wheel. When it all works out, I guess I’ll post some photos.

This is a hell of a timepiece! Congrats on your Super-Franken. It's truly beautiful.

Who was the modder?
