I'm thinking of getting one of these and I'd GL any one with hour hand not set 100%. You can get a hand puller for a dollar on ebay. More important to look for un-fixable flaws imo.

Sorry guys but everyone who buys a gen now must be an idiot, when the gen has the exact same flaws like the replica and costs 8000 usd more lol

You would think with all of these "shortages" would be due to stringent testing and QC and that they can't get them out fast enough, but in reality it looks like they are just pumping them out like Model T's and not being strict on fundamental issues. It is upsetting to hear this, but I bet most end users (of the gen) do not care or even know what to look for. Shame, but for me I am OUT on all gen SS purchases unless it is something I can't get in rep form (such as SS Sky Dweller)

And the hulk...watch, I’ll end up buying a genuine hulk and a day later I’ll see noob v19 with an apple green bezel insert.

I guess me and you have the same luck :)

Nothing replaces gen, if you have money to burn go for it. IMHO the ones that are impossible to rep are the only ones to buy in gen form. For me I prefer LN over LV, so I have no problem enjoying the rep!

Hi guys, finally decided to add to the rep collection and get the ARF sub. I just received qc pics and am wondering if anyone could help me confirm that this is in fact a ARF 116610 instead of some other version. Thank you very much.

Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll check with the TD. Does anyone here see anything wrong with the bezel. I personally think the markers are a bit too close to the crystal but from the pictures on this thread it seems as though they all come this way. SELs look pretty good to me so no complains there. I understand that at the end of the day this is just a replica so I shouldn’t be expecting absolute perfection but I was just wondering if it’s something worth RL-ing. Thanks again everyone!

GEN ETA 2824-2 would be fitting ok into the ARF Sub?

i don't think ETA will be a problem, they are the same with the asian clone
Regarding gen tube and crown my modder that installed crystal/datewheel assured me they fit, so i ordered them :)
