It's only 17 years old maximum so it's way beyond what it should be. Hoping to tone it down a little. Any idea on the bezel insert anyone? Seen some on the bay and wondered what I'd need as some have different fittings despite the same reference
You can get a gen used insert on Ebay, the gen inserts fit on JF, so they should fit on ARF. Gen inserts are friction fit
( snap in) . Some aftermarket inserts may require tape as thier can be slight size differences.
I would go with gen inserts, used they are relatively cheap.
You'll all be pleased to know it's had some TLC. New snap in bezel. £27 off eBay. And the face and hands cleaned up a bit, and the date wheel muckied up a bit to make more sense of a messed up dial and date wheel. It will be back with me within a week but just had these images off my watch guy. What do you all think?
I think it looks legendary! Really do like the end result...which of course will not the be the end result! Nicely done, I really do love the patina on all the markers.
