ARF 116610 904l 2824

[Princewilliam]

Watch looks great outside, it screams genuine.. I had the genuine 116610LN two times last year, ARF nailed and everyone that is on the edge deciding on this just go for it, have a good QC and then enjoy an excellent rep

Yours looks amazing, I wouldn’t even touch it, crystal has the black hole effect, date looks good. I may even sell my franken for one of these

When is the LV going to be launched?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Launched but not available. I'd avoid the LV to be honest - I doubt the insert is anywhere near the real one. And it can't be seen well in a photograph.

Are you kidding me? Is that stock crystal on the ARF? The AR on the cyclops of the LN sub looks equally as good if not better than the GMT in that picture...

This is how it looks without any effort of taking a “good cyclops pic”.. I feel maybe magnification at 2.7x or something as it feels a tiny bit more magnified compared to my gen xtal watches but no one can call this out, no way.. date is sitting low, some dates are on the left but not too much

date mag was acceptable for me, blue hue was the reason that pushed me to go gen crystal

Hey guys,

I just bought this ARF Factory Rolex Submariner 904L Steel from a member over at RWG

It has Asian 2824 movement. The rehaut is aligned. He bought it originaly from Josh (Perfect Clones) couple weeks ago. Incredible quality and amazing clasp.
I am not the type to look for flaws in a rep although i like the watches that give a gen like feel on wear.

I am very happy with this watch and it bacame my daily wear.

On with the pics.....

Bezel action is good, if you had experience the gen you will feel it is a bit "lighter" on the clicking sound but still very good.. Clasp is good, still the genuine has this extra confidence feel, like being tighter and better made altogether but again you have to been living with a gen for sometime to really pick this details up

Yes the gen crystal is really perfect but if someone doesn't want to spent 350usd then he is all good to keep the watch stock, really good work from ARF.... for me it's a keeper and will become my every day driver

You should share the address of your watch-smith with us

Well he is just doing me a favor through a friend that knows him, I don't think he is interested to get into the rep world...

Ah, forget the video and pics. The green of the gen is an out of gamut - the camera sensor can't reproduce it. There were a bunch of V7's which in pics looked close to the real thing - in real life they looked nothing like it. Anyone with a LV rep whose seen the gen will tell you the same thing. Unless someone who has both in their hand says its close, it should be left IMO.

The new Gens have a blue hue too so yeah

After reading, I think the gen for you is something like a magical object...

 

[Tigerdragon]

No he is right the green cant be replicated if you have the Gen in you hands you see the difference its night and day.

Of course, it's difficult to replicate green. It's only a matter of time. I had the gen several times on my hands. The comparison I've published can be very useful for many young members. I think it's much more useful than just text ...

It's simple if you have the tools and know what you're doing.

i always ask for QC pics with time set on the hour, and check myself in store if I'm buying there.



Lol. Yeah, ok mate...

what exactly do you guys mean by "fast hour" hands? never heard that one before
