It’s hard to tell because it’s not the same model. Under dj 36 gen dial dw and xtal
Exactly,gen dj 41 have thinner fonts and it is obvious difference

Ah ok I get it. Never have been able to have a gen so I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks.
Haha okay, strange, but fair enough!

Also!
Off topic... but all you people quoting posts... please delete the pictures... it's so spammy on the forum when you leave the pictures in your quotes. Just quote it and remove the pictures, makes it easier to read/find things!

Hey man,
I have an unused ‚Two Sided Crystal CleAR Coated Replacement Saphire‘ for exactly that watch. I bought it from dsxtals but never installed it.

Im noob bro but thanks for this i will do it like that
Unfortunately not. I am really patient, but it has been now two weeks since the money arrived on his account via TransferWise.
I just sent him an email asking for an update.
The last mail was from him last Tuesday (03. December) saying "Triangle is a little slow mate"...
I made a post in the TD section which I update frequently...
Hi all,
I'm interested to get an ARF DJ 41 jubilee blue dial. Any expert can advise on what kind of mods other than then xtal and dw to make it more "GEN"?
Heard rumours that ARF coming out new versions with updated dial?
Thanks all!

The dial itself isn't that close to gen, I have inspected this in person. The biggest tells are:
- ARF sunburst is completely off, it's too much and has a very metallic finish, also the way the light bounces off the dial is not gen like. The gen has a very subtle sunburst finish.
- The text on the dial, ARF the letters and numbers are thin in comparison to the gen. The biggest tell is the word ROLEX, on the gen it's very thick and bold white, ARF it's barely thicker than the text below it.
- The indices/hour markers are completely off. The ARF markers are wider and larger than the gen. Also the chrome edge on the indices around the lume is raised above the applied loom. Again this is wrong, on the gen the chrome border is flush against the lume markers. So far ONLY REF has got the indices 100% correct in terms of shape design and lume/border situation.
- Gen dial is a darker shade of royal blue, ARF is much lighter and less vibrant.
If the rumours are true of a new dial coming from ARF then let's hope they correct the mistakes they made with the current model.

When’s this new batch due launch? I’ve been waiting since 21/11/19 for QC. Wondering if that’s why?
Thanks Razorig2 for the detailed information. Yeah my main concern was the dial too as DW i can just swap with the GEN. Any recommendation which factory's DJ 41 with jubilee is the closest to GEN and worth getting it with minimal mods?
Thanks again!
From what I can tell ARF hasn't had a major update to the DJ41 since May of this year, updated a couple oyster DJ41 YG in June but that's it. It is about time for an overhaul upgrade. That's what I'm waiting for.
Not sure, just heard some rumors from my modder and no further details given. Lets be hopeful!!
yeah i'm waiting as well before i pull the trigger to get it! Gonna make it my daily wear, looks classic and simple!
Why would they upgrade it? It's nearly perfect... the dial has minor faults. So does the date wheel really... I wouldn't wait.
You never know what happens in the rep world. ARF could get shutdown, and then you have no watch. This is a replica world of counterfeits... the next version could be worse and they will have stopped selling the current verison... this isn't Amazon and it isnt a legitimate sales organisation. At any time there is potential for shortages / zero production when authorities clamp down....
Plus the newer version of watches are not always the best.
There are numerous examples of this happening, where the previous edition is better than the latest... check out the super rep thread and you'll see plenty of "get V2" rather than "get v3".
The ARF DJ41 is near perfect, minor fault with the date wheel is the only thing you need to fix. Get it now, you might regret waiting. fy1890 jkingiii
Here's mine with gen crystal / gen date wheel / gen silver dial (but truthfully, they didnt add that much... it was more for me... than really altering the ARF. Well other than the datewheel... that was quite a big improvement)

Wow, looks good! Well but the fact now is that TDs dont have stock for the current DJ 41 blue dial....
Even if they don't do another version, will probably wait until next year so the Christmas rush is over. Demand is probably through the roof accounting for some of the new issues like incorrect crown. All in all still not a big deal considering what we get for the price. I received 2 new reps from ARF, not DJ, and love them. I just want the DJ41 I get to be their best (not my best) so less to mod to my liking. It is by far my favorite watch.
Btw, hows the ARF jubilee bracelet? I own an NOOB Daytona V3 with ARF bracelet. What i can say that the touch and feel on the ARF bracelet is much more better than NOOB's.
Not sure about ARF's Jubilee?
