thanks smoke, was thinking between LN arf, vrf and v9. All with 3135 movements. have decided to go for the VRF in the end . I have the feeling the ARF gets too much hype.

The arf gets too much hype for sure.but the bracelet and clasp is next level .and I'm loving the bracelet and clasp myself.i just hate the mid case of the arf .if they fix that arf will be king

In the mean time does the ARF bracelet fit on the VRF?

So I am curious how closely everyone else is looking at their recent QC photos of the VRF with the VR3135 dial and maybe I am crazy but I just noticed this before sending approval:


Here is the correct dial print from the product page - pretty close to gen (not perfect but not terrible)

Now here is the QC for my VR3135 LN

Asking the TD if this is the right watch but was curious if VRF was flipping around their dial print...


EDIT: Ok now I am totally confused and have seen both versions of the dial print on what are being sold as gen watches on reputable sites....*boggle*

EDIT AGAIN...so apparently both styles can be found in gen models via TRF member confirmations. So...my mildly induced panic may hopefully help someone else avoid this down the road. I actually prefer the style that I got in QC vs the spaced out version lol...

I just received qc pics of my VRF LN and it has another dial print, anyone knows if this is correct ? @smoke

. Modded ARF at it best

Not to be rude, but is this before or after you've modded it ?

What's with the date alignment - is that a feature you've created, so the passenger sitting opposite you on the bus can also see the days' date ?

Bezel alignment is out by a fair bit, and so is the hour hand - look at the top pic, the hour hand is pointing to the second hash mark, and the minute hand is on the 6 - your hand alignment is out by 15 minutes.

Oh, and your dial's not centred - sits to the left.

Maybe these are the 'before' pics ?

You didn't answer - hope you're not upset . . .

So, are these your pics - is that your watch in your hand there ?

I’ve did a lot of reading about the quality of the bracelet for all respective replica brands. ARF is holding the crown here rn according to the majority of people. But how does the VRF bracelet hold up? Is it something that I’d have to switch instantly? I don’t care too much about if it is the perfect copy, look-wise, but do appreciate a quality feel to it..

Could you help me out here please..
How is the feel of the bracelet? Does it feel cheap, and why? Weight?
I’m a bit confused due to the lack of a relative reference and the overall negative comments about the VRF bracelet..

Thanks in advance!

Other factory bracelets don't fit on VRF from what I've read. So I guess you're gonna have a hard time switching bracelets

VRF Case is my opinion the best to modify. Here are some pictures in comparison with a GEN case:
