Have read that a 3135 dw fits an A2824 as a dw overlay, any idea why the 3135 dw cannot be fitted to the arf datejust as an overlay since the arf datejust uses the same A2824?

Because of the date window placement on the dial

The dial is not great on the silver

Ignore my post i was mistaken the ebay link was the old DJ2 dial. The newer one has a different “swiss made” on the 6 o’clock position. The rhodium dial IMO is the best on the ARF

It often looks yellow. The gen is a different shade and never has the yellow hue. I checked out a gen in an AD.
Mate are you sure about?
I have silver and rodhium, both tuned, and the silver one is one of the BEST I saw.
I can say you that is not yellow, and YES I compare it with an original.

The silver in natural light has a very yellow hue, just like in the TD photos. The gen is very much silver (i just went to AD). It's not that bad but it's definitely noticeably different if you put them next to each other.

Your check isn’t really valid unless you had rep next to it, looks close enough there under same lighting

Looks ok here under same lighting

Yeah this is 100% wrong, the rhodium grey next to gen is absolutely spot on, check the new thread about ARF DJ41 being voted for super rep status.

I'm not sure you can rule out his comment about how it looks under natural light. The side by side is under artificial light, and they pay a lot of attention selecting the angles that make the watches look identical. I'm not saying that the dial is not good, I'm saying that I would be surprised if they were able to perfectly replicate it. Sunbursts are super hard to copy.

This isnt my point mate, i agree its not a perfect replica. There is no yellow hue. At all.
