Great thoughts and a good point we often forget. The positives of a watch 1/10th the cost of something it looks nearly identical too

What datewheel and crystal did you use?

Watch looks amazing!

It looks great! As said, just a few minor changes to the bigger details and a blind eye to the minuscule details that a normal person's naked eye will never notice and we got ourselves a Gen like piece to enjoy. Unless you're a crook, a swindler and trying to sell and pass it for Gen cost 7k-8k then i guess you better get all the details big and small corrected.

This is "your everyday lighting" 90% of the time. Hence on the wrist the arf cannot be called out, or the noob for that matter.

A Gen date wheel is a must yes? Are their any good overlays anyone could recommend?

The only thing you need is a gap ring between the two Datewheels, otherwise the GEN datewheel sits too low.

A 3135 DW goes straight in a 2824 on a gap ring?

freediver Do you have a stock ARF or did you had some modding done? Didn't remember, does this ARF model is interchangeable with gen parts? Dial, hands, insert etc?

insert is stock, i only swapped to gen crystal and datewheel
gen parts like hands,dial don't fit unless modded

Is the ARF date font that bad???

Seems like its not always in the middle here is an older Gen and you can clearly see its closer to the crystal very interesting

I mean the letters from the ceramic Insert

Btw it seems like thats the version ARF is trying to replicate dial looks like it, because 2018 is way more different.

At least it’s thin, It’s not as bad the bold font on the ARF DJs or cheaper sub reps

it is the weakest part in my opinion

What is the "gap ring"? If I can get my gen DW in there I would be excited, already got xtal as well... I will not change the bezel+insert or maybe I should???

No. Keep your insert. No need too change it. The crystal and date wheel I can do for you. When are you coming to the states?

Nothing is better than real.

But just a heads up. Rolex does have a thicker font 3135 date wheel out there. Not as thick as the one that reps put on. LOL. But there are a few variations on the date wheel. While all the ones I have seen are mostly the same, I have actual seen ones in watches at the authorized rolex dealer and they look thicker. Every one I got new as a part have all been thin font.
