Mods suggestions: ARF 126600 SD43 franken

[LuoIsBoss]

Hi! I just bought a ARF v2 126600 SD43 franken from a friendly guy on RepGeek.

But I want to mod it even more.

Current mods:
- Gen crystal.
- Gen click-springs.
- Gen datewheel.
- Datewheel perfectly aligned.
- Movement-service.
- Preasure-tested.

I just ordered a new ARF bezel insert for it and I'm getting it shipped to spongebob to mod it, for the most gen-like result.

I just want to make this as good as possible, so I'm also considering a gen dial (f*ck my wallet please).

But I want to know ALL mods I can do to make my piece the best as possible - so come with some suggestions.

I saw a post the other day with a 126600 with some case modifications and reworked rehaut - does anyone know about this? and who does this type of mod, I prefer to keep my watch within EU.

I hope you guys can help me.

What do you think?

Maybe a gen bezel would be nice. If you find one on the market.
... Btw. I really need some shots from your finished TT

Gen bezel + gen dial, f*ck my wallet! That would be 3-4k EURO

Yeah, thats right I guess... Maybe we can talk about your TT (...) hmm how about modding the bezel?
Are there any modders who are able to do that?

I saw one on the forum the other day with shaved bezel teeth, looked awesome.

I just can't find it.

I just need a gen crystal for my LB and it will be assembled.

Hi mister and hej from DK! Do you know how much the gen crystal was bought for ?

Pics of the current watch??

Here is mine. I had the teeth milled a bit but probably have to upgrade the bezel teeth one of these days but otherwise this is fully modded ARF.

LuoIsBoss how is the crown positioning on the arf? Is it low due to the 2824 mvt? Gen insert bezel would be a nice upgrade, dont think u need the gen dial tho.

I saw this watch from RG, i think the DW is sitting just a tad off centered isnt it? Or its just the pics, i dont know

Eta movement also will be a great upgrade when the asian fails u.

If I recall ARF V3 has fixed the issue with the bezel teeth, may be good to consider instead of an expensive gen? Or a Noob (if it fits?)

Does ARF v3 have fixed bezel teeth?

Having held the gen next to the rep, the gen dial color stands out and there is one small difference on the rep dial that some might call a "tell": the 12th hour index position is incorrect on the ARF dial. Having said that, the gen dial is also quite expensive...

I have a held a gen a couple of times and from what I can see. The rep dial is so long from the gen.

The gen dial is semi-matte, where the rep dial is shiny-glossy. The dial on the ARF's is so off, and is a very easy tell.

"If I recall ARF V3 has fixed the issue with the bezel teeth", thats what I wrote

exactly ! Did you also notice the 12th marker being wrongly positioned ?

I didn't notice that, sorry.

You have a picture as reference?
