ARF 114300 Oyster Perpetual

[electric]

While I understand this is a different color dial I want to say Rolex does have two different index sizes on their black and their white versions. The original was all one index size, later they staggered it with larger ones at 3/6/9.

It’s not a flaw in any way, I am curious what others think in regards to the flaws of the 114300 reps.

do you think the white or black dial has less defects than the Rodhium?

I think they are all awesome, the black dial seems more gloss than sunburst so I personally would avoid that one and lean heavily towards an explorer 1 if I wanted an elegant yet sporty black dial. The rhodium and grape are amazing as well.

Idk. From what I've seen of the Gen black dials, it does look like a sunburst close up rather than gloss.

Just got mine today. Runs great. Only problem is the dial alignment which I will have fixed when serviced, and the hands. They were cut poorly and are rough on the edges. Expected more from ARF on this front.

Oh and I can tell the rotor isnt lubricated at all. Not as bad as the A2824's I've had but definitely noticeable.

How is the rehaut on the ARF, I read somewhere that the inner Rolex Rolex is not aligned with the markers?

It depends. Mines perfect. That's why I was ok with the dial being slightly misaligned. The sample they compared it to when had a mis aligned rehaut.

Just hoping I can get a set of replacement hands at a reasonable cost. I can't stand roughly cut hands

I purchased 2 of these 114300s from Puretime (amazing TD btw). I bought a grey and a grape. The grape came with a broken movement. I had my watchmaker take a look and a screw had come off during delivery. Good thing he was able to save it and it only costed a few bucks to get it running.

I did however go into Rolex and see the gens for myself. The colors all look spot on on the grape. As for the gray, I am not sure if it was my eyes playing tricks on me, but I thought the blue dots seemed darker on the ARF. However, my girlfriend thought the blue dots looked brighter on the ARF. In the photos, the blue looked the same. If there was a difference, I literally cannot be sure haha.

However, I felt the gen crystal looked different on the side. The side of the crystal looked white while the ARF is clear on the side. My watchmaker says it could have been the reflection of the gen gasket making it look white. I wonder if anyone agrees with this here? If so, could we replace the gasket with gen gasket? Lastly, the gen was polished smoother. I would assume a repolish on the gen would end up looking like an ARF.

Does any of your ARF 114300 make a noice on the clasp when you tap it? It's annoying on my JF, thinking of.vuying am ARF bracelet.

Under sun light big difference, I think grape best choice.

It’s funny, I researched and waited to get the ARF, thinking quality would be even higher then JF, given the 904 steel.

It’s funny, how the factories mess things up on purpose.

It was said that the dial on the ARF would be the same as the JF. Maybe they do but obviously those are the bad left over ones.

One of the eye catching elements of the OP is the very white bright color of the lumed indices, even in low light. The ARF color is bird pop gray.

Also the weak white print on the dial effectively disappears in low light.

Still wear it but am disappointed with it.

Here's some pics of my JF if you want to compare.

Good day to all.

Have been looking through the forums and decided to get the 114300 OP 39mm ARF White Dial and have distilled down the information

1) ARF/ JF has the correct lume colour as he gen (Green) compared to the BP version for the 114300 (Blue) Although we can send it in for a relume

2) The movement SH 3132 Clone movement has some issues and its recommended to send it in for service asap. Thats fine for me as I am in contact with a local watch technician.

3) The Grape and Grey dials are the better reps which is considered NWBIG .However, I felt that a White Dial is a good fit for me.

I would like to understand for those who have got a white dial version from ARF what are you thoughts?

Read that the distance between the Rolex and OP spacing is a little off. As well as the "Rolexrolexrolex" on the rehaut. It should start with a "R" and end with an "X" with the exception being the crown symbol at the 12 o'clock mark.

Thank you very much for your time!
