Rolex 126334 Datejust 41mm - RZF vs ARF vs BP vs DJF vs Noob

watchpit Watch_Addicted Fulcanelli - a review on the RZF was posted here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...imbledon/page2

Based on the review, pictures, and video, I do not see any compelling reason to go for an ARF over the RZF (unless someone else can chime in and offer tells not noticable to us).

RZF:
- Perfect DW, not too bold unlike ARF
- SELs look tight
- Bezel looks like the right size
- Date changes over at MIDNIGHT unlike ARF
- It is about $100 cheaper than the ARF

I think this RZF may officially be a super rep NWBIG.

The movement is an a2824, so the date change issue would be the same as the ARF. It won't be instantaneous as gen is

Now this looks like an interesting rep indeed, but it is certainly not a super rep. Remember that NWBIG and super rep are 2 different things

If you read through the review here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/rolex-tudor-replicas/7983592-rzf-datejust-41-wimbledon/page2 latinna mentions that the date change is indeed instantaneous at midnight.

I am trying to figure out why it would not be a super rep?

Plus if you compare the RZF vs ARF fluted bezels, the ARF is much more accurate when compared to gen.

i don't understand why the date change is instantaneous only in RZF if the movement is the same of ARF...
i would like to see if the difference in fluted bezel is so evident, because dw problem in ARF is an instant tell, i don't know if is the same for fluted bezel in case of RZF...
and we have to remember the difference in price...

How so? What's wrong with the arf?

Hey latinna , could you please confirm the date change? If you advance slowly to midnight, the datewheel doesn't move at all before midnight and just instantly snaps at midnight? No progressive movement of the datewheel from 11.30pm until 12? Thanks mate, this is curious

Nothing is wrong with ARF bezel. It is like the gen minus not being made of white gold.

Ah sorry you were saying the opposite, that the RZF is not as good. So I'll return my question, what's wrong with the RZF?

Maybe is misspoke earlier but the bezel cutouts are sharper looking on the RZF. The gen is not that sharp. The ARF bezel looks like gen to me.

Anyway. Seems like Personal preference. ARF is doing a good job, RZF.

I will flip a coin. Hard decision.

 

[Watch_Addicted]

so MAINLY: dw too bold in ARF VS Fluted Bezel in RZf... which is the biggest defect ?
hard choice... i would order one of them this month, in blue...

No mate it was my mistake, I misread your comment Now when it comes to the bezel,I actually don't see the difference. Both ARF and RZF look good to me. Don't forget that the "picture" from the Rolex website is actually a 3D rendering, not a real pic.

I'm also hesitant between the ARF and RZF for the rhodium dial

The only thing that will retain to buy the ARF is that crappy DW that say fake from a mile
And for the RZF, the rhodium dial seems so wrong compared to the ARF ?

Look at this puretime pics

RZF

ARF

That's a big difference under the same lightning condition

i don't know what you think about it ...

i have also read that the blue ARF dial has an excessive sunburst effect compared to gen... so there are differences between factories and between dials in the same factory

I wanted a Blue dial, and ARF's blue dials looks really good, RZF's looked a little off in colour. Otherwise I would happily accept either tbh. The other things worth mentioning is that people seems to rate ARF's bracelets much higher, but i dont recall anyone doing a direct comparison. RZF looks like great value at 100 cheaper and still in 904 steel.

My RZF arrived today. I am no Rolex expert, but it looks fine to me: I see I've left one of the numerous bits of sticky tape on the top right!

thanks for the summary

Looks good to me. I like the smooth SS bezel . I am still waiting on the fluted rhodium AZF. We really need someone to buy both and do a comparison ????

Does anyone know if AZF are planning to bring out a smooth bezel version?

 

[americanpsycho]

Based on the discussions so far, RZF seems to be the better 'out of the box' option.
