Can't believe ARF couldn't match its lume colors....

yeah thats a real shame....not even sure what they were thinking....lume pics are terrible and i think even noobs can get that that aint even close to right.

 

[NoNations]

Surely the same hands and bezel are used for the ARF Submariner with and without date.... The lume must be same....

Damn, was waiting for this.
Could just be the​ photos, but ​​​I reckon the CGs look too big as well.

 

[James2020]

Yea, the lume is... :idontno:

Lol look at the 2 o’clock marker Lume.. just embarrassing

 

[thrillofhunt]

I think this is probably a prototype and the final product will definitely have matching lume

I hope you're right.....but even if that was a prototype, its quite unforgiving mistake...LOL

Looks like it's been removed. That URL just goes to the PT home page now.

 

[muiramas]

Looks like they took it down already.

It’ll be interesting to see if the photos come back with matching lume.

Anybody has that page in their cache maybe and is able to post the pics here?

Shouldn't the hands and bezel be the same for date and no date or I'm missing something?

I suspect TD photo error. It's not exactly uncommon for a pic to be incorrect now and again... But the fact they've noticed and taken it down (thanks to this thread or otherwise) is a strong indication that it's not what ARF is intending to sell.

Although TBH, I quite liked that new design where the hand lume is a different colour, and the minute hand reacts with the nearest dial plot to make it shine the same colour as the hands. It's clever stuff.

I saw it last night before I went to bed. It was a full set of pics. Looked horrible - lume was really mismatched - like Panerai difference, which is deliberate. Hands were enormous. It was a dog. I can only assume it was not actually an ARF because they just don't make things that bad.

Maybe it is pre arranged leak of a prototype that will get the market talking to judge demand before release .. Like Apple and Samsung do.

I was sure people would have got mad after this release, it seems this watch is a big delusion.. I personally prefer the date version so I don't bother with this, but can you guys explain what is wrong with the hands? Just for personal knowledge. Thanks
