Getting To Know The Place
You're right, the bill starts to be high but for this price (about 10% of gen) you have a watch that is really close to gen (ideally a gen Crystal and a Crown + tube would make a perfect watch).
But it is also possible not to install the gen dw and not to do the service and the watch cost $450 and is not so bad (many people do not know the size of the font of a datejust) and let it work until the movement crashes then at this time make a service or order a new sh3135.

If you let it go straight from the factory and it crashes, don't you risk breaking parts and it taking a long time to source them? I believe in that logic for a gen rolex, but that's only because the cost of servicing every 5 years ends up being more expensive than the extra cost that comes along with waiting 20. Plus then the parts are easier to obtain since you'll likely be going through rolex.
I have a v2 coming in and intend to post a lot of pictures of it when it arrives. The verdict will probably be given by many experts on the forum.
yes it is certain that to use the watch as soon as it arrives without doing a service is not a good investment for a long time

Does anyone know how the jubilee is on the DJ's? Idk why but in my head that would be a hard bracelet to rep.
I cross my fingers for you too.
I really like the blue dial but the difference in color with the gen disturbs me.
I read somewhere here that the color had been improved and actually on intimate, I find the color closer to gen but not on the puretime photos.
I can not wait to get your feed-back

Why does everybody say arf is the best for this model? Is it just the case and bracelet? I would prefer to get the djf thats just been posted on intime, thats 904 steel, correct datewheel, correct coronet position, and not a 3135 movement that needs servicing. Also you can get a diamond dial model for $100 less than arf

No one has the djf so none of these statements are known yet, minus the movement. Reheat needs to be looked at, proportions might be off, dial color might be off, no one has confirmed the type of steel, date wheel is more than likely wrong and the coronet will depend on djf's qc.
It’s a well known issue with the ARF But is within Rolex tolerance we were once told. Honestly you don’t notice it on wrist

That’s why you have to ask yourself what you’re happy to live with or not. Every rep will have something that bugs.

Out of curiosity, how bug of a tell is the bezel? White gold vs steel. It's harder to tell on the sub since the markers are so small but with the DJ you'd think it'd be more in your face

By looking at the photos on the site i am comparing. They specifically say on the website the datewheel font is the same as genuine too
