The rehaut is not so bad as it looks like on the pics, I own the gen and I normally have frankens, but this one of the best reps I have seen in a long time. Insert is spot on. I have adjusted mine to +1sec/day. I am wondering that nobody talkes about the hands, in my opinion they are just great. SEL is one of the bests I have seen.
A gen crystal may give it a little more love but I can live with it. The cyclop has a little blue in it, but my gen has it also. There are differences in the gen crystal.

no play on it? nice and tight?

Yessir. Takes a little effort to turn it, so I haven’t had to worry about it going off center from day to day activities.

And thanks for the remaining replies! Definitely satisfied, especially OOTB.

I don't understan why some of this ARF subs have the cracked ceramic in the lower part of the triangle but nobody talks about this.

Beyond this I think this watch is fantastic out of the box, a good compromise quality / price ratio
I think that the JF factory ehm ehm ehm, I meant ARF :D , went through these watches, and became the leader of the rolex rep watch currently.

I think that with a better DWO, a gen crystal, and the gluing of the pearl to the bezel (some people have lost their pearl), this watch does not need anything else.

The hands also are the best hands on a rolex rep factory ever made.

How do you go about gluing the pearl in?

Anyone can comment on if a complete genuine bezel assembly fits on to the ARF Sub without any complex mods? Thanks very much in advance

It does but you need too change your crystal ring too a real one. It won't fit the one on it.

Oh also friction plastic ring. Hydro ring I think it is called. $30 dollar little thing. Fakes don't work well.

hi guys i got my qc photos from puretime for the 16610 LN ARF 904L with A2824 movement, https://imgur.com/a/nyTM25D

notice the markers on insert at 35, its really close to the dial compared to others. Markers at 5 and 15 are too far from the dial. Do you guys think it's worth to redlight? thanks for any inputs!
