I ordered my arf 114300 the day it dropped on puretime. I already have a gen dial and hands to swap in!

pretty excited to receive it.

I’d like to understand if the huge price difference between the new BP and the arf is justified somehow

The BP markers are too fat and the lume is the wrong colour, I'm not sure of any other differences that was from just a quick look.

For me personally it's the price difference between the old JF releases and the new ARF releases that's harder to swallow, particularly as the gen is quite a reaonable priced one.

Thanks for your reply.
New BP also has the white dial which I love
Is BP wrong markers and lume color extremely noticeable ? Can’t decide then between grey JF or new BP white

The word 'ROLEX' sits too high. the vertical space between the 'rolex' and the 'oyster perpetual' is huge compared to the gen dial. So this typographical error should be fixed just like they did with the JF explorers kerning

Good catch. Now, I got to check my old JF 114300 to see if it has got the same flaw(s).

just corrected it in photoshop... this is how it should look like. It really makes the difference especially in this price range. 500+ is a bit steep even if this was flawless but with this error it's a joke don't get me wrong I waited for this model but first they posted on PT blog I noticed this within a nanosecond (and I'm not consider myself a 114300 expert)

when do you think you will receive it? White or black?

I ordered white, because I have a current jf 114300.

going to install the grab on 904 arf and than the white dial on the jf. I’ll post the build and blistered parts soon.

Does the crown on the dial have curved edges, like the gen, or sharp edges ?
