Some not-so-clinical pics of it. I have a gen Hulk on the way from an AD, will try to post comparison between it and the ARF in terms case shape, lugs, etc.. all that stuff the experts on here love to scrutinize :)

Looks so good, looking Forward to the comparison. I got my Gen crystal just waiting on my watch now.

For those who have received your ARF subs, how’s the wait time on this from your TDs? I received my V9 qc pics in 5 days but for the ARF sub, it’s been 15 days and counting. Seems like there are many more orders for the ARF than the V9 or it could just be ARF/JF producing fewer watches than Noob.

I have to say I don’t think that Date font is terrible.

LOPL I don't know anyone who is as critical looking at a watch than RWI members. Most owners of the GEN are in the dark about the details. I know I was before I perused the REPS and ended up selling my gen for that very reason. The REPs are too good to walk around with $8K on my wrist...and i am referring to the mid priced $300 REP Subs, not the $500 variants. I still have reservations about spending $500 on a rep. Any rep. I appreciate all the expertise trying to get a Chinese super rep. Because of those OCD sufferers, I can get a great $350 REP LOL
Because the most Rolex owners are just paying it because Rolex stands on it they dont care about watches its more an ego thing.

This is the best out the box sub you can buy. The dw actually looks like its improved since my ARF hulk. Which was much thinner in font.

Nice example mate. Enjoy

Thank you all, indeed it is a nice watch but I have no time now lololl!!! My first impression is that font of the DW is maybe a bit thin comparing to my TC V7x but will compare with my gen Batman when I go home later tonight...

Well I am a bit spoiled since I own a gen Batman, a Hulk with gen 3135 and crystal/DW and a TC with gen crystal and excellent DW that sits right in the middle and looks 95-99% I guess.. so anything off perfection is easy for me to pick up which is a disaster to my wallet friends

The bezel improves?? 45 marker definitely has more space before the inside edge of the insert. Anyone agree?

Its a different batch like the batch i posted a few days ago from Reddit.

Seems like they have different dials and batches.

I was particularly careful to select a good bezel having seen that there were some problems.. I believe the insert is very good, saved me a lot since I don't need the genuine insert and bezel

It does look like one of the better ones around. I'm guessing you had to reject a number of QCs to get to this one?
