Yup it is. But you will hardly notice it on your wrist. And also you might change to a gen crystal in the future because of the wrong magnification of the DW

Thanks I will probably reject this as it will bug me.

The worst part continues to be the ultra thick datewheel. Why do they do this, seems like it's on purpose? It's not that hard to make a decent datewheel. I would never accept a QC until ARF fixes this stupid mistake. They have delivered much better batches in the past.

So they can bring a next „better“ version with another issue.

buy..swap out items that bother you...if you aren't going to mod much...stay with arf. there is no perfect replica as they all have flaws and will have to be frankened depending on how insane you are.

My misaligned pearl is bothering me. Is there any inserts I can look for besides going gen?

Ok thanks for the advise only thing that bothered me was the cyclop, the DW is a big thing for me.

Not sure if to risk it and ask for a another watch instead but the movement is running well at +2.8 secs a day so.

Or would it be best to pay a little extra and change my order to a VRF VR3135 instead ? But I have heard they are putting old movements in still.

if you don't plan to do much..arf is the best. just swap out parts you don't like..DW and crystal..you should be fine...they are best out of box with minimal fixes. If you want to go all out..noob v9 or vrf

Nope, the movement's stability is not proven, the SELs are not as good and if I recall the insert is too white

 

[bac14070596]

Thanks for the advice. I have rejected the first QC because the misaligned Cyclops would drive me mad just waiting on next QC.

Ohh ok. I will search the forum for him. Does his insert fit the ARF without any mods? Din came across this in the forum

Double check with him but I believe so

 

[bac14070596]

Accepted the QC on my ARF. Cyclops didn't look bad after some more photos at a different angle.

Can anyone recommend someone in the UK who mods these kind of watches thinking of upgrading the crystal and maybe DW eventually and would like a UK modder in my contacts for future reference.

Thanks Leo

Got it today.

What I dont like:
-pearl slightly off center to the right.
- 45 min and 55 min marker too close to cristal.
- datewheel font maybe a little bit too bold.
