ARF 126334 DateJust 41, Best in the market

[SKnight]

Responding to your point sk786 about Frankens simply because that's what is most interesting to me about this hobby (but not to keep beating my opinion into anyone else's head, just to be clear), I agree.

Some gen parts are a good "investment" alone. For example, I have a bluesy franken and I've spent "too much" on it for it being a rep... but i can sell the gen parts for more than I paid for it most likely. Maybe not now, but in a few years and with some patience. The dial, insert, and bezel are what made it make sense to me.

I think the value proposition really does matter when building frankens. But then again, what value means to each person is subjective.

Mate I totally get what you're saying. But can you or for that matter anyone please explain to me in what world a 6K rep makes makes sense when the gen can be had for marginally more?? Clearly when sfbatman787 aka mister money bags can afford it!

$6K for a Nautilus superfranken makes sense because the gen is on avg $60k on the grey, and unless you're a sheikh or a footballer you aging getting one at retail, because most of them can't either.

Dont be sad, you are just not worth my time

There's that winning attitude again!!

Can't you see you're just making an ass of yourself now??
In case you didn't know it, let me help you out,. ( | ) <-- that's you

Well I completely agree with that logic. I was just trying to split the difference with him saying that I understand the joy of the hunt... collecting parts, having it built, etc.

I don't think anyone was taking issue with that. It's the 6K DJ and his 'winning attitude' that everyone's taking issue with

1. If money ain't a deal for you, why didn't you spend the few dollars to support the forum?

2. You talk about a hobby and community and tell people they are not worth your time? Duh!

3. Your ideas really don't make any sense, except of trolling this thread. "Look what I can do", "look what I pretend to have". All gen except for the case with a goddamn entry level luxury watch replica? Oh boy. Do it, show it to us!

Well I'm just staying out of the attitude thing honestly haha. As for the 6k DJ... I was the first one to question his logic. In my opinion, a gen movement is a waste- unless he has a special hook up on them and its a project of passion and an itch he just has to/wants to scratch.

I have an issue with when people try to act all ridiculous with their "know it all" arrogance and forget how they were once in this position. Mocking/demeaning people for asking about SELs, DW, or posting stupid pictures of their VCs with a slanted 1, just isn't right and should not be tolerated. How hilarious is that! The guy with the VC, actually has an issue with QC which he didn't notice!

Sure we are going to get these questions over and over, its been going on for as long as this forum has existed. We still get questions about who has the best sub! But these wanna be keyboard mobs is what I have an issue with and refuse to put up with.

I'm staying out of the "attitude thing."

I would like to put this issue to bed so we can all move on...

Here is a fair summary for this type of situation, across the board, not just this thread...

Sometimes people have a sharper tongue than necessary. But most often, it is in fact people unduely spamming the thread. While this keyboard mob mentality you mentioned does exist and I don't support it, I find the greater indiscretion to be on those that do not do their homework, or even read back a few pages.

Sometimes I cringe when someone is a jerk, but I am also thankful because it does significantly limit spam.

There are ways in which to present information and ask questions in a way that contributes to the forum, even if it is the same type of question. This shouldn't be rebuked... but everyone needs to understand that certain endemic issues just need to be accepted without bringing attention to it for 10,000th time.

I am not referring to anyone, any thread, any watch, any anything in specific right now.

Let's just move on

Manufacturing processes that were done before, might not be done again. It's one of the main reasons earlier in this thread someone was asking if they should wait till v3. My reply was.

"No, you never know what might happen. ARF might close down... v3 might be worse" etc etc.

Low and behold, v3 comes out and there's a new set of issues.

Also we're not getting annoyed at nit picking at all. Nit picking is fine, as you say it pushes the game forwards.

However, what does not help is SEL's being mentioned every 3 seconds, nor date wheel. THEY ARE KNOWN.

The SEL has no new issues IMO. See pictures of my V2 in my post number 4520

Bottom right has a small gap but very small. Mine was bigger and didn't concern me. Robi01 has a great fix where you put a few piece of transparent tape inside the lugs and it looks way better.

 

[Akilles]

Upper lugs have 2 tape pieces on each side (total of 4) and looks pretty good now when the "gap" is centered and covered so you cant see through it. And my gap was bigger than your QC pic shows

We can change bracelet with oyster on V3 ?
