Why not?

I will try to do some pictures side by side this late afternoon!

Interim report after a few hours of wear:

1. Bracelet and clasp is much worse than my ARF V3
2. Crown on the clasp is the best I have seen so far
3. Bracelet is squeaky so definitely needs an oil bath if I keep it

I will try to put the ARF bracelet on to the RXF and I also have a ZZF to try.

A2824 movement runs +7 sec/day.

Will keep you updated.

I fell like there is too much gap between gaps and case, What would you say about sel gaps when u compare it to your gen hulk? Am i making a big deal out of thin air or is there really big sel gaps?

I totally agree, BUT after a clean and oil bath it was a billion times better - it really made a significant difference. I did a 'blind feel test' afterwards comparing it to a couple of watches I had around (ARF and Noob) and I couldn't feel a difference. At least, not a better/worse difference. So deffo do the oil bath. Mine had two days in mineral oil/Baby Oil.

I will also try to show the difference on the photos this afternoon.
Hope I get the time to do that today!

No issues with gaps around the SEL’s on mine. For $388 it’s astounding value versus the NOOB BLRO GMT ( different models I know but the NOOB is much more expensive and has much more obvious flaws).

Hi guys, I am sorry but came home to late to take good pictures of the cyclops, will try to shoot them on the weekend.

Just fitted the ARF bracelet on my RXF and in my opinion it fits perfect and feels much better than the RXF bracelet.
Te crown on the ARF clasp is much closer to gen than the crown on the RXF clasp.
See pictures and let me know your opinion.

I also set the A2824 into beat and it now runs on a flat line on the timegrapher, if the rotor was less noisy I would keep it but the noise is a game stopper.

With a Swiss ETA and a gen crystal the rep is nearly perfect for me.

No apologies necessary! But if you can do phots at the w/e, that would be great.

A tiny dab of Molykote DX will sort out all rotor noise btw, genius product.

Thanks, will try that!

Which version and which movement arf does this bracelet belongs to?

 

[Ro13x]

ARF A2824 V3

 

[YellowFin]

Never heard of noisy 2824s, as those are winding in both directions...

 

[kennygconspiracy]

Interesting! Mine was silent. Perhaps it's just an individual thing.

If I gave the impression mine had a noisy rotor, it didn't - it's silent; the Molykote thing is something I've done on other watches.

Here are two photos of the cyclops!

That looks close to me. The pic of the LN is out of focus which makes the dial and black hole look a bit off and exaggerates the look of cloudiness (which as owners we know isn't there), but if you take that out of the equation, I think it's close.

Guys I accepted these QC pics, but I have some doubts about the insert at 3 o'clock (offline) and the SEL at the top right. You think? For the rest it looks ok

You mean the insert alignment? Looks perfect to me. You've got to account for perspective as the watch is slightly tilted. The SEL I don't see anything (gap?) but maybe I'm not looking at the right thing?

Thanx for the reply. There is a gap of about 2mm on the top / left of the SEL. In addition, I see the insert at 3 o'clock lower.
