ARF 126334 DateJust 41, Best in the market
- Thread starter kobe24
- Start date
Am I right in thinking that with the 2824 movement the date/time setting direction is opposite to the gen?
No, it isn't (check out Cal. 3235): http://calibercorner.com/rolex-watch...own-direction/
And here you can see the time setting on the ARF: https://imgur.com/a/wGZqyzs
Thanks for that, the caliber site is very useful!
As soon as CNY is over I’m just going to go for it. I looked at the DJ in person with the different bracelets - to my surprise I like the oyster best. The fluted bezel pops out with the plain bracelet and polished mid links....understated but in person really classy
Looking forward to more DJ41s from ARF. Hope they can make this model, it's just beautiful to me.

I’m starting to think the 41 fits well together with the oyster and the 36 with the jubile keeping in more with its lineage.

I agree, I was waiting for the Jubilee but then I went to a store, saw both, and as you guys stated, I preferred it way better with Oyster in person.
I directly ordered one, and i'm about to receive it in a few hours
Also, I saw several Gen models with different DW, some with a bolder DW, meaning it's not because your DW is bold that your watch is a rep ^^

I did the exact same thing, went to the AD and tried both models on. Although I wanted to wait for the jubilee, I like the sportier look of the oyster.

I own the 36mm v2 by ARF. I want to add some perspective here. Someone at my job had a rep Rolex on so literally at a glance I said "oh you're a Rolex fan too?" as I lifted my sleeve slightly to reveal mine. She goes "Yea, but it's fake though, can I see yours?" I proceeded to show it to her and she looked at it up close for atleast 20 secs and as she was doing it I was thinking, "please don't ask me if it's real" haha. Instead of asking she goes "see yours is real, mine is fake. That's so nice..."
Point being, I think some of you are being a little too picky. The ARF reps are incredibly well made. To pass up on such a fantastic watch just because the font is slightly bolder is interesting. No one will care, but you and honestly after wearing it for a week or 2 it may not even register another thought because in the grand scheme of things its truly minuscule at best.
The watch is awesome!

Getting To Know The Place
glad to hear that! That's what I was thinking, if the rep was very cheap - poorly made, then yes, the flaws would be very noticeable and probably I wouldn't wear it.
I would be surprise if someone can spot a good rep from looking at it for 10/20 seconds without putting it next to a gen.
Enjoy the watch!
Exactly. I mean think of it like this, unless they are a Rolex fanatic or specialize specifically in Rolexs they won't be able to tell no matter what. Now take the dynamic of them NOT having a rep to compare it with ontop of rarely getting a close up view for 20+ secs or more. You're dealing with a VERY VERY slim possibility that ANYONE will spot it.
