ARF 126334 DateJust 41, Best in the market

[sameace]

From numerous QCs I've noticed that the latest batch of ARF V3s have a problem on the crystal.

The Rolex Crown that is etched on the crystal around 6 o clock is ALWAYS aligned to the left.

This is very evident since now the dial also has a crown on that area, right in between the "Swiss Made" printing.

It looks very odd..... The 2 crowns are not aligning together, and this can't be fixed by rotating the crystal because then the date magnifier would be off....

he say that the crown is on the left on a geniun one also...

Is located left because of the angle of view.

You should reject this forum. Because you've been a member here for 5 years and you can't read simple rules, or simple sarcasm.

Watch says "SWISS MADE", that's a lie. This is reason enough for me to REJECT

Hi everyone!

i just got my ARF on Saturday, everything is good except that there is some roughness when unscrewing the crown, is this normal? Also it might be running a bit fast so I might have to service it.

Rep movements usually come dirty and would benefit from a service yes

Regardless of which movement is installed or does need an ETA clone less service than e.g. a SA3235?

I usually take a small amount of vaseline or synthetic oil on the crown screw on all my reps. It makes it more smooth when opening/closing the crown. Some might say it attracts dirt but I have never noticed that. It will however not help a dry or dirty movement, just a quick fix for the crown screw.

Personally i sevice all my keepers, but it could be not needed, just feel better with it !

Thanks for the replies! I will do my research and send it in for service.

Cheers!
