So shouldn't the A2824 should be considered NWBIG on the Consensual List if the SH3135 is?
Not in my book due to crown height.
So shouldn't the A2824 should be considered NWBIG on the Consensual List if the SH3135 is?
Since my local watch modder isn't able to install a watch crystal onto an ARF 116610LN am going to have to have a go myself.
Does anyone have a link as to how to remove the bezel from the watch and also is the crystal attached the bezel or is it pressed into the watch .
Thanks

thanks for sharing photo review, that was helpful. so based on some reading that I've been doing, the rep is so good that if put next to gen on the table, most of gen owners won't be able to tell a difference between the two?
also what are some of the things to watch out for during QC?
So from what I understand from the two ARF 116610 2824 and 3135 threads, the ARF A2824 is far superior than the SH3135 as NWBIG. It was repeated stated that the A2824 had the better dial, datewheel, bezel, and case. The only caveat was the ETA movement. But I have the SH3135 and you could tell it is a rep if you started playing with the crown. It turns rough and the datewheel mechanism is always broken. The ETA is also a positive in terms of reliability. So shouldn't the A2824 should be considered NWBIG on the Consensual List if the SH3135 is?
The crown height is an instant tell to me...the crown on a 2824 sits lower vs 3135...almost flush. If you see it once...you can never unsee it again. Everyone has their tells as I had just mentioned mine. Some people say you really have to look...but once you see it...that's what you look at right away...Here's an example picture of what I mean about almost flush crown height...
thank you this is helpful. do you consider any rolex rep a super rep, now that i know of the tells with submariner...
Vvvlllooo
do you by any chance also own 116500 daytona? I am trying to decide between sub and daytona. I know that they are very different, and i kind of like both. do you have an insight about which is a better made rep, ARF Sub or ARF/Noob 116500?
I like ARF Sub because looks like the flaws are minor, and like how the sub looks for it's simplicity. Daytona looks more complicated, and more stuff going on... but from what I am reading its more comfortable to wear. So trying to decide between the two, comparing rep to rep obviously.

this really helps. all points are valid, and totally make sense. it is true that Sub is definitely more versatile. I can imagine wearing Sub with a sweater, or a t-shirt, or even to the beach. But I can't imagine wearing daytona with a t-shirt. Daytona definitely more like a watch one would wear to work. I am not so concerned about waterproofing, I don't swim with my watch on the wrist, even gens. My father had gen cartier tank and swam with it once, in the pool, no diving, and the water leaked. Cartier AD charged a hefty amount to disassemble the watch, dry parts, put them back together, or whatever else they needed to be done. Since then I would never go swimming wearing an expensive gen, let alone rep.
Have you tried wearing gen? does rep feel the same on the wrist? I am thinking of going to AD and trying on sub and daytona in Gen, and see if Sub is better for me before I splurge on a rep
Thats what I did before buying AP15400. Instantly fell in love with the watch at AD, emailed my TD the same day...
Yeah. Pearl, crown, xtal, bezel also give away the rep.Sel's betray noob case , left ia gen
Nice rep though. Forgot to mention that.
What are the parts on that franken?
