WHY. Just why would ARF NOT plate the sides of the jubilee bracelet on the two tones? Do you gentlemen think they will one day plate then? Should I get a wrapped bracelet and switch?

I'm stuck here... SEL's and lugs seem pretty bad.

Also unsure about that LEC, rest of it is good.



sell looks maybe worse then it is because of light and white background.
lugs looks rounded but who cares?
LEC maybe a bit off.

cyclops and date alignment are superb!!

A very good alignment with DW and cyclops (asko rehaut). The small sel gap that I also had in mine can easily be minimized with Robi01 patented tape-fix.

Take of the bracelet put a few pieces of transparent tape inside the lugs and it will be much better when putting bracelet back on!

Same watch here. Look att upper right sel-gap. You could see his skin in the lug gap on QC pic (date 7). Now you cannot

Here are some gen and Stock arf v2 pics.
The gen is the NEW one with the crown at 6 o clock marker. Does anyone now If the new gen dial has diffrent schade of blue?
The blue shade is 10% diffrent depents in the lighting. cyclops is maybe 10% better, No need to change for me. Lugs and sells are good enough on my v2. Bracelet is gen feel like.


and here some two Videoes with Flash light:

Great share, thanks!

I can say for sure that my dial looks more like gen than the ARF v2 when it comes to the color. Not at all as saturated as the v2 you show.

Does any X-tal expert know if the gen crystal I have installed could be the result of this, or did I simply get another dial batch?

I kind of like the saturated dial on your v2 though, pops out a bit more :)

It really depents on the angel and lighting how you do the pic, thats why I Upload a Video on YouTube.
The only change on v3 is the crown at 6 o clock.
I don t know if your gen xtail make the dial color Look diffrent. If you do a pic or video with flashlight, than I can say more. But I doubt that it is diffrent.

I disagree. Your ARF shows both darker and more saturation than mine in similar light condition. Mine is even less saturated than gen in some lightning (which I don't like).

similar light condition is not same light condition. Here I try to make a pic where it look almost like yours. I use Samsung S8. the flashlight on iphone is brighter I Think. The sunburst part on your dial looks more white, but It could be the camara or a diffrent flashlight.
Actualy I like the arf dial more the gen:)
the gen has a tiny bit purple color in some light.
Bp tried to replicate it in there dials, but they put to to much purple on it:)

Let's agree to disagree. I can show you 10 more side by side pics where our watches have different colors. You have uploaded a video and I have done it. Let the members decide for themself.

I have to side with my scandinavian brother from the North on this one.
Really nice DJ on the video you uploaded with the gen crystal and DW. For me personally the combo on 126334 with fluted bezel and jubilee is too flashy for my style, thats why I have gone for the 126300 mod with gen smooth bezel instead of the fluted one. Feel the jubilee does enough, but both 126334 and 126300 are beautiful timepieces overall and very popular in the Rolex lineup.
