Upper Austria, Linz
anyone else noticed their bezel number colors fading at all or is it my idea?
i feel like they are getting darker and also accumulating dirt.
what is the best way to clean it without scratching off any of the color

i would avoid any alcohol embedded things, i use only water and glasses cleaning cloth
I haven't noticed any fading until now

How long do you have it and how long does freediver has it? That would be interesting. I mean the watch ofcourse :D

I dont notice it. I just got an ARF 2824 3 days ago. Maybe the 30 is off center by half a millimeter? Sorta looks off if I put it right next to my eye, but it may just be in my head since I'm looking for it to be off.

Damnit. The more I look at it. It's definitely off, but by a very very small amount. Oh well. I want to put a gen insert in here anyways since my pearl isn't centered. Does anyone know a good place to source a gen insert? I'd consider doing a custom order for another ARF insert but I'm guessing it will have the same issue in the recent batch.

Forget it, stufuse (sorry for always tag you mate :D ) watch is a few days old, mine if from today so its the new batch if 3 are already misaligned all of the others will also be misaligned. You must understand how this works in china. They are not just put out 5 watches. They order like 10.000 bezel inserts at once because of the price so dont change it the next will be the same and have other issues. Your watch looks great trust me.

I had just ordered one too...same problem...to me the 50 marker and 55 marker are waaay off. I had declined three QC picts to finally choose the best one. I was told the whole batch was like that and had confirmed with looking at three QC watches...as they kept on getting worse as we went.
