Hello guys,
I really Need your help. I finally ordered now an ARF DJ 41 from Intime and received the QC Images. It Looks good, but it seems like the rehaut is not centered perfectly. Would you accept the watch?


Of course you will accept this, you cant get perfect rep,it is a rep,this missalignment you can only see with 10X zoom

Thank you for your advice mate!
I accepted it. Do you know if the dial can be centered afterwards, that the rehaut allings perfectly?

The yellow hue is likely to more more in your head. I'm not saying it doesn't exist... but I'm saying you're focusing on it too much.
As for the date wheel, have a look on the M2M Sales thread, you're looking for a 3235 date wheel, you can also pm interaktiv
he sources parts and is a top guy/seller. He will also install it for you for 50 eur I believe (don't quote me on that). (Date wheel should be around 150 euro)

Here's some pictures of mine: (Genuine Rolex Silver Dial | Genuine 3235 Date wheel | Genuine Crystal) (The frankens were well worth doing, it's flawless now imo It was about 800 euro for all those) Hopefully you can see there is a slight yellow hue, even on the real dial :)

That looks pretty centered to me. At that magnification what you’re talking about is a fraction of a mm. You can easily undo the two movement screws at the back and rotate it to be perfect, but honestly it’s more than acceptable.

Hey guys,

Is there any possibility to install GEN Hands on the ARF 41mm DJ? maybe with some mods? Would also swap movements if that helps ..

I don’t know how good the rep hands are, but I guess nothing against the GENs..

The rep hands are fine, however the lume isn't as good as gen that's the only difference when viewed in normal conditions. I have a gen dial, look a few posts back, and if I use my torch and charge it and then view my watch the hands dont glow as much as the hour indices, annoying but I don't ever notice it in the real world. Gen hands would fit, would just require some modding. But in reality, the ARF hands are fine

What do you think about my Datewheel? It's not too Bad for arf is it?
[/QUOTE]

If in fact that is an ARF DJ 41 date wheel, I'd say that looks excellent. Did you just get it?

Thanks, I actually got it 1 month ago but as the minute and hour hands were not moving properly I directly sent it off to get a gen eta installed and just got it back.
Seems like I got lucky with the datewheel at least.

So just to clarify, the date wheel shown is not a gen that came with your gen movement that you had installed?

That date wheel and cyclops looks a lot better. I know arf recently updated their date wheels or started to at least as well as their crystals/cyclops . My new submariner looks almost Gen and has much better crystal and date wheel than my older arf one. However my ARF datejust looks like a 3rd world mall $150 knock off in person with giant date window.

Yeah it's everything stock arf except for the gen eta movement.

Not sure if the cyclops is really better than they had before I just gave attention to it not reflecting while making a photo so you can see the DW clearly.

Hi all, can I just get some opinions on the datewheel for my qc? I feel its a little too thick but acceptable. Main problem is that the bottom of the 2 seems slanted and not aligned, could be camera angle. I have asked for clearer pics.

I have zoomed in for 26 and 28, the common problems.

This is normal for arf fonts that sucks,GEN datewheel is needed,you can buy only gen dw and find someone who can install and you will be satisfied

Thanks for the reply. The datewheel font isnt the problem for me, there was a comparison between various gen dws above in the thread, and gen indeed has some thick and ugly ones as well. Compared to past qc pics, I think its pretty good.
