ARF 126334 DateJust 41, Best in the market
- Thread starter kobe24
- Start date
I would really like to get a second opinion on this if anyone could chime in. I need to RL/GL this evening. I'm thinking I will GL but am not the best at judging the date-wheel situation.

Why are you sharing the whole album if your question is only about the datewheel?
The date is normal for an ARF you will not likely get better. Alignment is not perfect but it's minor and you may just end up with a worse one if you reject
Thanks! I included the full album in a separate link just for reference as I've not seen many grey w/fluted bezel and jubilee.
Theres also SEL gaps on the right side but I didnt point that out because Im not trying to be toooo picky.

Honestly, as someone who just purchased this watch but in blue, you gotta take it as it is. I compare this to buying a gen in the exact same setup. And for me at the moment, it’s not feasible to buy a gen. So, for 1/10th of the cost of a gen, there HAS to be flaws and most, if not all flaws about this ARF we know and understand. So you make the choice. Pay 1/10th for this and take the flaws, or pay the full amount for a gen.

You said everything... i like my arf,everyone look at my watch,even that im not lie about that it is gen,everyone ask me if its gen
I just wear it for me
Recieved mine a couple of days ago. I am impressed with the quality. The case, bracelet and dial looks and feel gen (I have a gen sub), only thing is that it doesent feel "Rolex" when you wind it manually. Maybe silencing the rotor will help a bit.
Adding a picture. Beautiful piece strait out of the box.

So I knew going into this purchase that the datewheel font is the weak spot of this watch and I'm okay with that as I'm not expecting everything to be the same as gen. I am more worried about the alignment since that would be an obvious "flaw" for any watch and would bother me. I asked for more images because as I suspected the date is pretty significantly off center horizontally.
So am I being too "nitpicky" here or would this be an acceptible/expected RL?

The thread is slowly turning into a repeated question/QC approval nightmare. Come on guys read the thread before asking the same questions over and over!
One thing is for sure, no matter how many “flaws” you can find in this watch - the dw will remain the same, bold and incorrect. Overall the watch is good!
