I have owned gen WG Rolex, and I must say you will notice the difference on the wrist. It has a warmer tone not as bright as steel.

However! From a few inches away, a WG bezel on a DJ will not be noticed by you or anybody walking next to you. It needs to be done under close inspection, which might not happen in real life.

For you guys a comparison shot between an ARF v3 bezel and a Genuine one.
I think it’s clearly visible that the colors are different. In addition to that the inner line of the bezel is slightly more decent and slimmer than the ARF. Other than that, ARF looks quite good IMO and without having a gen aside it’s really hard to tell

Legend! Really close isn’t it. I just wonder if plating it will take away the shimmer. I think if you want to do this it may be best to get a gen bezel. The watch is so perfect it’s worth a gen bezel lol

PS: anyone have a gen bezel for sale can’t find one anywhere!

Unfortunately i canceled my order today. I ordered it about 6 weeks ago and still no QC. Once the raids are over and we see the new stock maybe I’ll order again.

I was going to get my VSF bezel plated... Why are people getting an ARF bezel installed. Am I blind? The VSF looks a lot closer to gen than the ARF one. Especially the inner line.
I must be as blind as you... The VSF may have its flaws but don't see why the bezel would be in the top 5 of that list.

Maybe because it's pretty cheap to get it plated people do it...

Guys I have no VSF bezel around to compare with my gen. That’s why I posted the ARF instead. No doubt that the VSF might be a better option.

ARF applies a kind of plating on the bezel of its Datejust.
VSF no in fact you can see that it is the same color as the case

In my opinion the VSF is superior in every way to the ARF.
