Sea-Dweller Two Tone SS/YG 126603 ARF
and
Sea-Dweller Two Tone SS/YG Wrapped Gold 126603 GMF.

What do think guys ? I know some got the ARF, but is there some happy owner of the GMF ?
its 220$ difference so I hope there is some extra value on the GMF or at last its a bit better.

Many are negative toward two tones, but I have a full gold daytona and very happy with the gold plating. Impossible to see the difference with all my real gold djewelry anyway.

Some input of GMF vs ARF See-dweller are welcom thanks.

Jennifer from Puretime recommend ARF over the more expensive GMF.

Go ARF. GMF and BP will piss you off once you receive it.

Thanks but can you tell me why.
The Gmf is newer, and wrapped.

GMF have really cheap feeling bracelets with sharp enough edges to cut steel. Lugs are crap. Wrapped doesn't matter since the colour is off on all precious metal replicas. Some buyers plate it with real gold anyways so no point spending extra on wrapped if you wanna go down a similar route.

My honest advice is, get the arf. The gold color is spot on and the watch simply has that premium gen-like feel. Absolutely no issues with gold fading on my arf sub.

I have a Gen 126603 and bought a ARF TT for rotation (things are getting crazy on the streets) What a huge disappointment, yeah they look similar from a certain distance but feels cheap and rough on my wrist, very far from the real thing.
Panerais super reps are a whole different story.

How far is the gold off on the ARF from Gen? Could you share some pictures? I really want to pull the trigger on our 126603. From what I’ve read the ARF is the best choice?

The worst thing you can do is to own gen and rep of same models. For the Panerais, well they are in the past now along with VSF...

I'm not sure why it's the worst thing, I have the ZF rep of my AP 15400 as well as the ZF rep of my Rolex 116610 and I'm happy with them
