I have. Blue dail and fluted bezel on a jubilee bracelet and I am really impressed by the quality of the finishing and sunbrushd dail and bracelet.
cant wait for the DW overlay since the DW font is to loud..
but this is the only minor issue I’ve experienced with this watch

Dw and lugs need to be little sharper and this rep is super rep.. Im impressed too with it

I Ordered mine and received QC next day and received watch 1 week later. You have to be on top of it. I used trusty but he's not a TD here.

I ordered from Puretime and it's been 12 days since payment confirmation and haven't recieved QC. Sent two emails to them and haven't recieved a reply back. They might have problems getting my emails so will need to try their instant message system. I think ARF is still selling the thick font dw. If you don't reject them, they will keep selling.

I've been waiting 3 weeks for mine from PureTime... just be patient. It's also Chinese holiday as it says on their website so they won't get back to you until Monday.
As for your theory... no. If you keep rejecting them for datewheel be prepared to eventually be turned away by your dealer.

It is a known problem, a flaw, these are replica's not 1-1. There are ALWAYS faults and problems. This a known one that you can fix with a datewheel replacement. 3235 genuine datewheel for ~ $160

Its the holiday over there as exilen said above. The QC I received had a pretty bold date wheel as well. I bought a gen DW from interaktiv, I believe he still has 1 more up for sale.

It's odd that Puretime is telling me that they are fixing the dw issue. They have told others the same. Maybe it's a partial fix and we'll never get this watch to super rep level.

My impatience has forced me to deal with ARF DW issue and take the matter into my own hands and source a DW Overlay, having it shipped next week and my local watchmaker will install it...(hopefully the right way)

Nice, I went for the silver. Finally got it after over 2 weeks of waiting. There seems to be a tiny dimple on the dial and the 6 o'clock induce is scratched. But otherwise I'm happy. Build quality and weight is excellent, just wish the quality control was as well in arf. The movement so far is accurate. I have a tiny 6.5" wrist so I had to take 6 links out! This is a big watch. Hoping for a similar style arf in 36mm with same movement .
The silver dials are so underrated, scrolled so much to find one. Can't decide between the silver or blue dial sigh.

I went for silver... reason being is the blue looks like black/dark in offlight and in actual light it looks blue... and the blue looks great in pictures. But in real life it looks a bit washed out. I had a Gen DJ41 in Blue and a Bluesy 13LB... and the blue on the Bluesy really did make the DateJust blue look quite poor. But it's only noticeable in real life... In pictures the blue looks the best by a mile.

Silver is just understated elegance, and I don't know about you but I wear my DJ41 for more dressy occasions particularly as its paired with a jubilee where as my everyday sports watches are all oysters.

The other thing to note is... most Rolex are dark colours so this to me makes this watch stand out more in my collection, as the rest are all very dark dials.

That said the ARF silver does have a slight yellow hue to it. Imo it's worth buying the original dial (thats what I did)

Here's one on ebay.

Wow thanks for the extensive input. Well having owned a 16613lb, the blue doesn't look that bad, after all Rolex doesnt have some variations in its blue dials. I have read above about the yellow tint to it but doesnt seem that obvious, I'd need a gen side by side to see that. I have seen the difference and indeed its quite bothersome.

My daily beater is a JF AP 15703 or a simple gshock. I think my AP works well as a formal watch as well since I have a huge wrist.
