Oh I see, I always thought the crown height issue was of a vertical manner, not horizontally. Thank you very much!

Hope this clarifies things:

Btw, the date font isn't as bold as with the older batches, right?

Here is mine, already accepted it: https://picr.me/album/646R

Now I need to wait for the QC pictures of the other watch before this beauty is on its way to me. I hope it won‘t take two weeks, can‘t wait.

Yup, new batch.
Concerning the insert 45 marker is better, not perfect yet, but i would like to see more photos of the 15 and 40 marker , they seem worse

Not the new batch the Dial is the old one (Rolex is not bold enough to be the new batch) + wrong magnification (to strong) seems like ARF just pumping out every part they have there is now no new "batch" just all mixxed up some good and some bad. But its a good watch any way no replica is perfect.

For that money its quiet a joke.

Edit: Or its the lightning btw did the TD photoshop the photo? Look at 30 oclock marker and 35 oclock and then zoom in. It looks like somebody through white paint over it and deleted something???

I‘ll wait to receive the watch and post pictures then. Be ready to wait though, it is what I have to live with too :)
Once I have the watch, I‘ll ping you as I‘d like to get your feedback.

I’m sure this the exact same qc pic I received a few weeks back. I have it saved on my phone. Here it is

sometimes sead send wrong QC pics yeah (not happend to me but to other people). That explains why its not the "new" batch. But it does look good (no updated crown) but when its some weeks old yeah than its the old batch.

That's a real bummer... Especially with the old/new batch issue, I would prefer not to buy the pig in the poke. Btw I'm not accusing Sead of anything, I have bought multiple times from him and he of course deserves the benefit of doubt.

He sent me the someone else's QC pics and I got a watch with the hands out of sync - something I always check for - and a real problem with ARF. I said I would use him until I had a problem, now I switched TD.

because we were always talking about flaws

2018 Gen:

- Same blue tint issue like the ARF
- Rehaut looks like shit
- the case looks almost 1:1 like the ARF and NOT like the 2017 Gens.

And yes it costs 8500 €

btw. the new gold gen is already repped with the crown between Swiss Made only as cheapy but as an example:

So maybe we should critize the ARF so much because the Gen is now a lot worse than before lol

Is it just me or does the bezel marker @ 9 look shifted over to the right slightly (as per ARF bezel fault) ? It does not look perfectly centred.

Great video btw, really shows up Rolex QC lol
