I'm currently in QC phase on this ARF 904L Sub (LV, Hulk).

I'm not that confident with the following things and would like to hear your opinion:
  • Marker at 9 on the dial appears to be crooked, but you can believe me that it is a significant improvement from the previous model that I rejected
  • Engraving of the bezel at 45 is too close to the crystal (but this one is so common with the ARFs, that I wouldn't reject based on just that)
  • The color filling of the bezel engravings is not that good at 40, 45, 50 - but I guess one can fix this with this Molotow marker "mod"
Thanks for your feedback!

I think the marker at 9 is ok and also the insert at 45, although not perfect, I’m not sure you’ll get better.

It’s the insert paint/platinum I would not be happy with, looks a bit rough or dirty. I hate all the paint mods I’ve seen so personally wouldn’t be happy unless you plan on changing the insert.

Thank you all for your feedback, the painting was after all why I rejected this watch. I need to wait now, as everything is out of stock at the moment.

im starting to get really tired with all the wait for the ARF and the limited stock after declining the second watch already for a misaligned bezel.
im going to cancel it and get a Noob v9 instead. their QC has been more solid for me every time

I got mine today, I love it. I had feared that the insert may have been broken beneath the pearl, but fortunately it wasn't. DWO is fine for some but less so for others. Thinking of getting a gen DWO and crystal. I'm very happy with my purchase anyway.

Congrats on your new catch, it looks mighty fine!

I've just pulled the trigger on one too, it'll be a few days before I receive it. Can't wait :)

Has anyone ordered the ARF Sub from Chazing recently? Every other TD seems to be receiving stock for the past month, except them.

The wait is over! Just the shipping part now then straight off to the workshop.

Insert and SEL’s were the important factors for me as changing the xtal and DWO.
QC’s can drive you made once you start zooming in so best not to keep looking.

I had a other qc, looks to have the crack under the pearl again, I’m hoping it’s a a fibre or something, getting a better close up later, been waiting ages for this watch! Keep the pics coming!
