Because the new ARF batch with the new cases are pretty much crap like i said in the ARF thread. ARF/JF goes down the hill at the moment with mixxed parts and other shit.

The bezel assy was the thing I dislike the most. And the stem is too long, therefore the crown does not screw down all the way. All in all, is still a cool watch, but not very much "real" looking. My new ARF datejust is pretty cool tho, I absolutely love it.

the old ones were way better look at the one review were someone (i forgot his name) compared the old 2824 with the 3135 version, now they using the same parts of the 3135 version in the 2824 version which is kinda ridiclious but yeah.

I have been lucky with the sa3135 and it still keeps +3 a day after lots of wear . With a service it should be ok but bought a spare on ebay for parts for my watchmaker.
