looks good....that wonky coronet would drive me mad though

So, so true. Sadly, this could’ve been addressed before taking delivery, unless it was one of those situations where the TD sends 50 other pics and angles BESIDES the single one that will reveal the flaw....these dealers can be wonky themselves!!!! Lol

They got that eggshellish white almost perfect.
Amazing job

Hope they will release a 34 mm version as I’d love to get this for my girlfriend but 39 is a tad too big for her wrists.

Yeah that Rolex crown on the dial is weird looking. Other than that, it’s a great looking watch.

Hi all.
I've read a lot of helpfull comments of you guys, but you haven't noticed the biggest problem on this replica...
The crown rolex symbol is not straight and centered.
It hangs too much on right side.
It's a BIIIIIGGG tell guys.
The rest of the watch if not near to a gen is not bad, but the crown symbol....:facepalm::thumbdown:
ARF.... What the hell are you doing!!!!

You're vey funny and so cute like a little baby...
If someone is new here it doesn't mean that he don't know ARF.
But it's not a problem man, it's ok because probably you're not so attentive to details
otherwise you should have seen the big mistake about the crown.
I'm sorry to be here in this forum, I have forgotten to ask your permission...

The JF watch does not have the dial flaw and the fact it is 316L steel doesn't really matter to me as there is visibly no difference.


This watch is not worth buying in Gen, better to put that money towards a model with a date i.e the GMT Master II/Sub/Datejust

As the guy pointed out to me (he didn't need to, I'm here 5 years and bought a lot of these things, and it's pretty obvious anyway) it's a QC issue. ARF quality is generally very high, but assembly as always with Chinese product especially rep watches is hit and miss regardless of factory.

I have to agree with the other poster who said the dealers can be very clever with the angles they send in QC sometimes. It actually made me switch TD because I got a dodgy dial twice in a row from the guy I had used for years who was supposedly the best in the business for quality control, and he really was until recently. Drawing lines on photoshop over indices and rejected because of a 1 degree deviation, I get why that pisses them off, but wonky coronet is unacceptable really

Yes, this is what I wanted to say.
A wonky coronet on a watch that is around 400 bucks is not acceptable.
Than I can agree that in the past ARF has made a lot of very good replicas but if I have to judge the very last releases (Sub, Op)
things have changed a lot.
I know that we're talking about replicas but I mean a coronet on a Rolex is the first thing that even my grandma would stare at...C'mon.
But anyway if the guy is happy with that I'm happy too.

I have this exact rep on order from my TD. Can't wait...

When did you order? I ordered on Thursday and today my TD told me that ARF is on holiday and won't deliver for the next two weeks...
