And a 1675 please. Still confused why the newer models are really close to gen while the vintage ones take tons of money and work to get there...

Unfortunately, I believe the general demand for vintage reps is relatively very low. This doesn't attract the major factories to make better ones, and Cartel/ JKF/ BP are VERY complacent about it.

ARF did update the DW and I admit it was not the way we expected. I don’t see the point of posting this. So ARF didn’t update the font correctly and makes everyone can’t believe any other makers that they want to make things right?

Maybe I didn’t use the words right then.

Please let me rephrase :”the maker could release the watch yesterday but after discussion and we decided to fix these before release.”

ZF is the first time making a sub and I believe they will fix it to give a better impression of their subs.

ARF let us down with the DW doesn’t mean ZF will also let us know this time.

And it was from me. I am sorry for what I said, to trust the maker to be able to fix something simple.

But still, I said things that didn’t happen, I am sorry.

More importantly, do you think these bracelets will translate over to GMT II models as well?


I know everyone loves a good sub, but we really need good GMT bracelets. Side question; Which is in your opinion the current best GMT II for bracelet?

Fair! How is the weight of the bracelet though ;)
You could buy a bracelet on dh gate for $12 and they still weigh the same generally.

Is this just a sneak or is this a preview of the finished products.

I see a burn mark on the crown on the clasp, probably from tack welding it on. I've seen it on some excellent quality bracelets. Like GMF and also Noob (but never arf).

Bracelet finish overall looks good but link edges look sharp in the pics compared to gen and still no maker has rolled and polished the clasp edges correctly yet. ARF is the closest but still not up to gen standards.
