How will it be modded? The gen DW overlaid in the 2824 movement? I am aiming to do exactly this. Whats did the gen crystal set you back mate also?...

Ignore my previous SOLEX just found this thread

Changing DWO on ARF Dj41

SOLEX i intend on swapping out my dial with a gen dial which i know is possible, in terms of swapping the dw out, do you know the gen dw model number...

[dom1986]

Is this the one on ebay? I have spotted also. Yet to see if one can be swapped into an arf 41 though so reluctant at this point to jump!

[dom1986]

Only if you put a gen insert, xtal and potentially a DW. Without these it is absolutely in no way considered a super rep or close to gen. i know because...

[dom1986]

ARF submariner is probably the closest to gen rolex you can buy out the box mate. Noob v9 is nice but ARF is better...

[dom1986]

Yep, nail right on the head here. I have been saying this a long time now

This isn’t a bad example, and wouldnt be an instant tell. Most people who own a gen wouldnt have a clue about the font on your DW, and quite frankly...

[dom1986]

If you find one please post. If its a gen it will be lighting that makes it look thin, or its not gen as per the above post.

There is no such thing as a gen with thin insert numbers. The ceramic bezels are made consistently the same by rolex and will not differ (on the eye)...

[dom1986]

If its the older more bold (thick) font, yes. Some of them look better now though. Gen Rolex have variances of dw’s but not as thick as some examples...

[dom1986]

Yeah this is my predicament. You can get dials but your pushing £1000 for them. I think the DW is the only real “tell” on them at the moment which...

[dom1986]

This is good to know, they have to tweak that insert depth for me and they have nailed it!

Interesting to know this, the work all the factories produce has improved so much over the last 4 or so years. Be a shame to see them sink! GM seem top...

[dom1986]

Ha ha touché, you knew what i meant! Lol. Hands down the best for me. The sub is very very good.

Just picked one of these up in m2m with a grey dial on oyster, dw looking really good also with full service and waterproofing!
In terms of frankening...

[dom1986]

Yep i said the same, seriously question some peoples mindsets’ at times. There are people on here looking for education (me included) not misdirection....

[dom1986]

This has to be Gen? The insert is not GM surely?...

[dom1986]

Yes they are thicker but a hell of a lot better than whats out there now, the GM insert is awful. Numbers are too thin, too dark, the blue/black transition...
