Is the ARF blue dial a true Royal blue colour or is it in reality a faded blue tone? They always look good in pictures but in person the colours are always less saturated especially with any rep blue Rolexs. Have this issue with the ARF DJ41 blue.

So you YM geeks would you say this is the best version OOTB so far? (I’m especially interested in the rhodium dial...)

About 1 month later :) I think A2824 is better, haha

Could you please share why you think A2824 version is better than 3135 version ? (I understand what you meant if you mean that A2824 is more reliable movement). but Do you also mean that not only the movement but also the other watch parts too? watch case body , hands , bezel will not be the same between ARF 2824 Yacht Master 904L and ARF 3135 Yacht Master 904L version?

Hello Gents,

A quick question here for the experts:

I see that ARF did two versions...

This one: Yacht-Master 116622 ARF 1:1 Best Edition 904L Steel Gray Dial on SS Bracelet A2824
And this one: Yacht-Master 116622 ARF 1:1 Best Edition Dark Rhodium Dial on SS Bracelet SH3135

I understand the the movement is different, but my question is more related to the darkness of the dial. Are both of these replica supposed to replicate the same watch or is it supposed two different color scheme? I can only seem to see one GEN 116622 is this color

Thank you

Chewy

Hi

I'm very new to Yatch game. I recently checked at the concensus list and find out only YatchMaster from Noob is listed "Rolex Yacht-Master Rhodium/Blue Noob 904L Steel SA3135" What's not okay From ARF? ARF's YM looks great too.

presumably it is, especially when taking the bracelet into account

how does the bezel look to you? does it scream fake or is it quite close to the gen bezel ?

I never saw what people were talking about... until I did. And now I can't unsee it. I had tomrep do my bezel and now I wouldn't buy a yachtmaster without budgeting for his mod as well. It looks fantastic. I love details that are... subtly pronounced I guess you could say.

here's what Tomrep does. I tried to get a picture in lighting that shows the difference. The texture of the insert is changed and it gets a slight "yellowish" tint. In some lighting, you can't even tell. But I think it's a worthwhile investment. Still not 100% to Gen of course, but it's closer.
