Hello guys,
I have seen the new SD43 V3 by ARF and it looks stunning to me.
Without going Franken the best out of box I would say..
My question is:
Since the movement is a clone eta and the gen has the new 3235 Calibre,the Time adjusting is the same.
but what’s with Date changing,Rotor sound and winding?
Are there big diffences ?
or did arf made it the same as the Rolex gen.
thank you very much guys

If you could get a gen CALIBRE 3235 then I'm sure it could be fitted by and experienced watch smith but seriously... You'd also be best off with a gen face and hands.
More $$$... Why even consider doing something like this?

Why not just buy the Gen? Imagine a legit Rolex with a 5 year warranty that at worst is maintaining its value.

My recommendation is to get a gen dial, shaved the bezel, let spongebob mod your insert, gen crystal and get a gen dw as overlay and then get the lugs shaved down to 2,5mm instead of the 3mm and then get the case and bracelet brushed like gen.

Thats the specs of the 126600 I'm building

Whats the advantage in having a genuine Rolex movement over a genuine ETA in a fake watch?

Gen movement will not fit. Stem height is not correct on ARF. If you weld and re drill the tube for correct height the case will also need work. 3235 is impossible to get unless you pull it from another watch. The movement is too new to get any parts for it. Rolex is very strict about sourcing parts for these movements are all still under warranty.

The biggest issue for me is the valve on the side not being the grey titanium color like it is on Gen. Its a little thing, but an insta-tell and I wish they would fix it.

You think that’s an instant tell? Have you seen the hour markers and the hands?
