[RandyC]

Sel's are the problem, swapping all links + clasp except sel's is very easy

Yup, thats what I did!

can you explain us how to do it? It needs the tool called bracelet puller, right?

 

[Foxxfire]

Where did you source the appropriate ARF bracelet?
From one of our TD's?

No need, an appropriate screwdriver is fine, coz you aren’t taking the sel out only the first links on each side

My TD had an ARF whose movement had died, instead of sending back to factory he sold it off in parts. I was interested in the bracelet and the bezel but someone else was luckier than me and grabbed the bezel before I could but I managed to get the bracelet.

Uhmmm I'm afraid to ruin something honestly....

What’s your take on the quality difference between the two?

Most people who have objectively compared them both in hand, side by side, prefer the quality and detail of the ARF.

 

[freediver]

both in hand,ARF is better ,but slight advantage, not anything breathtaking

Its no big deal, get a small screwdriver that you use to tighten spectacles and that’ll do the trick!

Agreed, the easiest to catch difference is of the bezel white color, the difference is noticeable, apart from that one would need to really focus.

Do you guys think the ARF v2 xtal is ok or is prof worth looking into?

Mine is just fine, no need to have AR on a crystal that the gen does not have AR

Question :
The ARF dial need to be shaved to fit noob but do we need to cut the feet and stick it at the right place ?

And after can we put back the noob dial on arf case ?

Good question. Not sure why the ARF doesn’t fit the NOOB case. Will we see a gap of you out the NOOB dials into ARF?

If you've done your homework reading the daytona's thread, you'd know that ARF dial are made to fit the 7750 that has ETA dial feet position. which are different from 4130.

ARF dials are also 1mm larger than a 4130 dial, that's why they don't fit in a NOOB case. That's also why they have to be shaved, dial feet needs to be cut

Thank you I rode the entire thread and I remember this. This is why I wanted to be sure. So you confirm that even if I put the feet on right position on noob I cannot put it in ARF cuz too small

This Daytona was posted on Facebook and the owner claims it to be Gen. If so, don’t the dials look closer to that of the ARF, on the thin side? I have seen a gen with thicker dials. Is it likely that there are 2 dial variations regarding sundial thickness??

SELs and long pushers make me think it's an ARF

Gen or not, the bezel sure looks wrong. Think the ARF/CF/Noob bezels are closer to other examples of gen Daytona.
