If the ARF bracelet fir your V7 case niceley with good SEL, then keep them that way. You will save a lot of time and headache.
Braking the VRF apart will create more issues then benefits.

Yeah, it fits great - that makes sense - might open up a pandora's box by trying to swap the movements!

Hey guys Im new here. Until now I was a silent reader in this forum.
I‘ve got a cheap submariner 116610 from dhgate... I know. Its crap with a lot of flaws lol It was an important lesson for me. You get what you paid for. Now im about to buy a nice ARF submariner 116610.
Before I order, Ive got some questions for you.
1. I read that there isn‘t much difference about 316l and 904l. So are the submariners ARF A2824 the same quality apart from the steel? Price difference 100$.
2. Movement A2824 or SH3135. Difference 10$. I want to wear the watch how it comes. That means no modding (ARF > Noob v9 v).
TD will be intime or puretime. I wrote both of them an email. Who first reply will be my seller. Want to buy a nice collection.
Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks for your reply. But how do you see that the dial is good? I search for most of the QCs pic here, and it looks the same haha.

The markers are straight and also the dial is not shifted
Ohh I see. But the cyclops is cracked. So they will change a new one for me. Hopefully I get another one that has the same dial

You’d hope they’d be spot on, yes. My point was it’s present on some gens too.

Buy it and get a new crystal as the rest of the watch is nigh on perfect.
Look at your existing watch - could you see a crack that small in real life?
2xAR with LEC and gen spec gasket arrived today. Took 8 days with USPS priority mail. Looks great ! Thank you, Stephen.
UPDATE: According to my watchsmith the gen spec gasket from Steve deosn't fit with my ARF 904L 2824 due to slightly different glas thickness between Prof and ARF crystal but the 2824 movement seems to be the same built and same superb quality like the one in the Fortis.

You do see it sometimes on gens, correct, but it’s rare for them to be bad like ARF. For example, I think this is extreme.
Received my 2nd QC. I notice the cyclops is tilted upwards & the date is not centered. My TD told me is not misalign. Am I seeing things?
