ARF 126334 DateJust 41, Best in the market

[anh]

Unfortunately there is no ARF with smooth bezel. I`m also looking for yours (in blue), so I have to choose between Noob or RZF.
Since I already have the superb ARF rhodium flutet bezel, I may take the ARF again...

Dilemma. I might do the same. Take the ARF, I wish the smooth bezel come out after Lunar New year .hehe

I wanted the smooth bezel too and i bought a gen one from chrono around 200 usd. Is now to my modder

Which model bezel did you buy for the ARF DJ 41? Was is the Rolex 126334 or 116334?

He bought the right 126334, the bezel of the DateJust II "116334" does not fit the DateJust 41

Do you guys think additional polishing of the fluted bezel is needed for the the ARF DJ41? or is it good enough ootb?

looks good other than the DW. its probably the old stock as 6 oclock position is not "swiss made"

where did you get this piece from? vietnam i assume?

Bc1993, DW too bold, dial looks fine Swiss Made present and in correct 6 o'clock position, bezel looks good, straighten crystal when doing overlay. What crown do you have, line or dots.

Don't Do this. There are reports of the bezel being plated leaving the bezel more dull after polishing.

For what it's worth I always thought rhodinizing the fluted bezel could be a good option.
I wanted to give it a try when changing dw and chrystal.

Nevertheless it looks great ootb. Just give the watch a nice clean

Good point! I've thought about using a cape cod cloth on the fluted bezel to get that extra sparkle. I had used a cape cod cloth on a polished stainless steel nail bracelet before and it made the finish more dull; probably removed some of the platinum plating.

dont do that... just some decent soap applied with a cotton ear bud cleaner... and then do the same with water to rinse the soap away, and a drying cloth. That will get any grime off it and leave it looking beautiful. Alternatively, if you have an ultrasonic cleaner. Take the bezel off, by using slight pressure with a blunt knife (wrapped in tape), then chuck it into the utlrasonic.

Thanks. Will the bezel just snap back into place? Does an adhesive need to be applied?

I have also done cleaning with an ammonia free windex solution (using micro fiber or any fine cotton cloth) and then wipe off with cloth dipped in hot water. This leaves a good shine.

The fluted bezel catches finger print smudges, oil and dirt very quickly. So it needs constant maintenance to retain shine.

WristClean does the entire watch quite well.

I've used cape cod on my fluted bezel DJ 41 from BP factory with no problems at all. Actually I've used it on all of my reps (VSF, JF, KOR, GF) and have had no problems. I would restrain, however, to apply thoroughly on any evident plated surface.

how do you remove the remaining liquid from the cape cod after polishing? you wipe it off or will rinse it thru watch?

and how does you guys polish and maintain the jubilee bracelet?
