I have just received my ARF 116655 with DWO updated. Although I find it slimmer than the earlier reps, it is still a bit bold when compared to the gen. I think it is a magnifying issue. If it is, then installing the gen date disc would probably won't change it much.

Guys, the real rolex when shake will not make any noticeable sound. It's pretty quiet. Can anyone advice if the same applies to the rep A2824 or SH3135?

Its not going to be a silent. You can open the caseback and place a small drop of oil along the rotor bearing to quiet it down...but at the end of the day its a cheap chinese copy of a swiss movement...

Not long recieved my ARF 116655, the movement (SH3135) is silent. I have had the movement looked at and it was suprisingly pretty clean according to my watchsmith, there were a few issues such as the escapement and the hairspring needed sorting so the movement kept better time etc but overall ok. I had a gen crystal and date wheel chucked in and it looks awesome...

I wish they would wrap these watches for longevity. My concern is that over too short a period wearing this so stunning piece there would be signs of wear on the edges and corners.

ARF or NOOB?
What did you pay for the gen mods?

firstly excuse the dust on the watch..!

This is ARF, it comes with EE and EG Straps so should fit up to 7.5" wrists i would say, mines 7" and its not fully extended.

you can easily find out the sort of costs for a crystal and a DW , circa 350 quid would be a good target price blistered for both.

What do you think of it?
