So does anyone know if the ARF bracelet will fit on a VRF?

I would say yes, my ARF oyster I got separately fits almost all my reps, including a BP Hulk, which is same case as VRF. You can never know for certain before trying but ARF bracelets are the most interchangeable in my experience.

Does that fix the SEL being flush? Or is that an issue with the watch lugs?

Unfortunately, they all seem to have very depressing sel. A definite no go for me. I might have to go the V9 route and add an sh3135. I really like the vr3135 though. Looks promising. If anyone is able to source the movement alone, please share.

But when you say "very depressing", it can't be that bad. If it is just swap it out with another one.

I'm thinking of buying this for my 1st rep but I'm worried it might be a little flashy hence more considering a omega

Well, my bank finally released my bitcoin funds and I sent off payment for one of these - the Hulk version. Hopefully QC photos will come in the next several days.

I'll post QC photos once I GL it. I'll be curious to see what members think about the DW, the SELs (already not expecting much in that department!), etc. And, if the movement gets a thumbs up from my watchsmith, I'll consider a gen crystal, see if my ARF bracelet fits it, and go from there.

I'm excited at the possibilities, this does seem to have real potential as long as he movement is not junk...!

I would say lugs would be less of a factor as they tend to be more consistent in height extending off the case. More important factors would be the bracelet SEL itself and where the springbar lug holes are drilled. There are a lot of posts discussing putting ARF bracelets on other factory's reps like Noob V9 Sub or Noob Daytona. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not YMMV.

Here's a pic of an ARF datejust 36mm oyster (20mm lug width) on my gen GMT. Looks like it was made for it. Sorry, I don't have a pic of it on my BP Sub but the fit is just as good.

I have a brand new ARF 904 bracelet. It is scary how real it looks. Even engraving in the SEL. I will take pics when I get mine with both the VRF and the ARF bracelet.

For me the sel are that bad.

The SEL's are not that bad! While I know not all of the watches are the same. My QC pics look fine.

I received some pics from my TD as I was really curious and tempted. But I have decided not to order in this instance.

Look forward to Rob's review and probably a full teardown.
