Wow, looks amazing! OOTB or there’s mods done? And how’s the jubilee bracelet?
The DW looks like a good one from ARF - but no GEN DW, so I think there is no mod.

BP has the 2019 Datejust with nice DW Font - so I think we have a new Champ, especially for the price (288$ with 2824)
Yeah new champ with wrong dial and bezel
Can you explain why?
Been couple months since I got my silver datejust 41, and unfortunately I'm totally regretting it now. There are just too many tells. The cyclops not being center and having too much magnification, the date being too bold ans the indices lume being too white and the dial colour to yellow. The jubilee bracelet is also very stiff and not somewhat flexible like Gen at all. I think arf makes great submariner a, my two tone is almost perfect out of the box. But they quality of their datejust is questionable. And since I got the 2824 movement it's not worth frankening for me. I would stick with BP, JF and GMF in datejusts, ARF for subs if you looking for out of the box quality.
The ARF Datejust 41 is superb. I have a full franken of it... gen dial, gen crystal, gen date wheel and its perfect. Jubilee bracelet isn't stiff... your may require an "oil bath" search the forum for oil bath and that will fix your juiblee for you. https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...18168-baby-oil
As for the other tells, well that's a case of adding gen parts to fix it.
The dial is fine... I had the rep silver and I have the real silver, the difference is marginal at best. But you're right, there is more of a yellow hue on the rep. There is also a slight yellow hue on the gen but not as significant. But it's really not that big a tell. It's only very certain angles in direct light etc.
The datewheel is the biggest upgrade you can do and it costs 125-150 eur + 20-50 eur for install.
Crystal is second biggest upgrade, that's a bit pricey at 300 euros ish.
Just get the date wheel, fix your bracelet. It's a 9/10 rep. With mods... it comes a 10/10 rep easily.
How does one add Gen date wheel to 2824? I'm all down if it actually fits to give it a try since at this point I can't even look at this watch lol. The yellow hue is strong indoors specially at an angle for me.
Edit: I was talking about the out of the box quality and not potential.
