Just received my ARF 116610LN with the SH3135v2 -- thought I would post some pics for anyone that wants to see what it looks like before ordering theirs.

Also, I'd appreciate any comments and criticisms (note: I'm planning to franken and won't take any criticisms negatively, actually they're more than welcome!)

This week it's going away to get: movement serviced, BP dial installed, gen datewheel, gen crystal (c12)

First impressions: I think the CGs are off but not 100% sure, the date changes smoothly, power reserve seems weak, good feel in the hand.









What do you guys think? Hope this helps anyway that's considering picking one up!

Nice project to follow!! Looks good so far, standard ARF issues :) Looking forward to seeing the frankening :D
How does the BP dial compare to the ARF one? How much does it cost? Gen crystal + datewheel completely change the look of the watch IMO :)

How's the winding crown position on these latest sh3135? Did they fix that?

Crown is sitting far too low! I don’t understand why they fucked up this although they’re using SH3135.

Shit, that's bad news. Maybe they are just reusing the same cases as their a2824's

The crown position would even allow to use an A2836. A2824 has got identical stem height as an 3135. So I guess this case has been constructed for 2836.

I wonder if the OP really has the 3135 version or has been sent another version instead. That crown position just cannot be correct for a clone 3135 version.

Here is my V2 for comparison: https://imgur.com/a/fKqciOo

I could make more pictures if needed since I received it already.

Here is my ARF 3135V2.
Your crown seems to be too low.

The rehaut is pretty misaligned. I wouldn’t franken a watch with a non perfect rehaut
