I’ve just got my QC’s and mine was not a good example and I have never rejected a watch.

Off centre Bezel Pip and uneven SEL.

Can you post a picture?

Can you post a picture?

Before I get flamed I’m well aware that these pictures are blown up.

The bezel pip was the first thing I noticed when looking at all pictures. It may not be noticeable on the wrist but if it is then it will bug the hell out of me.

The SEL look very good on the non crown side at both 6 and 12.

But on the crown side don’t look good.

Maybe I’m being more picky as this is a pretty expensive otb Rep.

I personally wouldn't have picked up on those things, but if you're not happy you might as well say so. How was the DWO?

 

[WenR]

The problem is even u have accept a great QC, the watch that u will receive might not be the same,,,
It is happened with the watch that i received,,, sighhh,,,,

I don’t really like the ARF DWO if I’m being totally honest, I think the font is nice but it’s too large and it’s not a cyclops issue the text takes up the whole dial cut out whereas the Gen doesn’t. I think I’ll put a TC in when it arrives.

This is not great if this is what happened.
I’ve used the same TD a lot and this has never happened to me.

If you’re sure this is what happened then it’s probably an honest mistake by the TD but if it were me I’d not use them again.

I think you are right but not completely, it’s somewhere in the middle but with a gen xtal it will look just fine, will tell you end of the month.. but see the pics I post before with the ARF vs the genuine Batman, I believe the ARF crystal has slightly bigger magnification

Yeah it’s not too bad and like I said don’t looks good.

I have some TC DWO’s and a Gen Xtal so will see what both look like.

I know the TC DWO’s had an issue with not all dates aligning whereas these ARF’s look pretty decent.

I’m sure once I receive it I’ll be pleased I am with all my reps.

IMHO the magnification is a big big tell. Dunno why people arent complaining more about it compared to other smaller issues. Its the first thing I noticed when I received all of my ARF watches I recently bought. The SD43, the Sub all of them seem to suffer this magnification issue.

 

[freediver]

Crown - tube came
Hmm what next ? Maybe Swiss ETA or dial ?
For now I am broke but wear it with pride

Overly magnified?

My ARF sub A2824 Just arraived.

As I own a gen, I Will try to do a comparisson in few days.
My first impression is that nobody Will realize that is not my Gen. It is a great looking watch. But I am surprised how People Here is looking for the micrometric differences on the dial that nobody Will realize ever, but very few People complain for the very poor quaility of bracelet. My 6 years old son have realized about it, so anybody owning a gen Will realized with the watch in hands.
The bracelet quaility is so poor that is even below my 300€ diver bracelet from microbands I own.

This watch Will never be a NWBIG if bracelet quaility is not improved to be close to gen one

Interesting - what difference in quality of bracelet did you/your son notice? The weight or other elements, like the finishing?

What exactly is poor about the bracelet? Is it the feels?

Have you tried putting the bracelet in a ultrasonic cleaner and then leaving it in baby oil for 24 hours?
A lot of rep bracelets feel like crap but a baby oil bath makes them feel amazing. I've had all my oyster bracelets take an baby oil bath and they all feel like Gen now. Smooth feeling and links.

More picas, sorry for bad quaility.
In few days better ones
