Hi all is the arf 41 datejust still the best rep available? Thanks

in construction quality I think so. And we will never know if v4 will be better or there will be another factory that does it better ...

Anyone know if I can swap a DJF Wimbleton DJ41 dial into an ARF V3 DJ41??

if it has the same movement 2824 or even 2836, it is to remove and to put, if it is a different one it will have a little more work but it can also be done.

So reading up different forums, its consens that ARF V3 is the best 126334.
I was wondering cause I've seen different QCs:
some have got a near perfect datewheel (with acceptable font).
Others have this typical ARF bold Date.
Newer versions with blue dial were better than with rhodium.
Anyone else did make this observation?

Well, if someone whos into Rolex will look closely , he will notice it . But i am wearing Rolex , AP's , Breitlings since 2 years and there was only one person in Real Life who have noticed my Rolex Submariner ( Arf v2 ) he thought it was gen . So buy it and wear it ..... ;)

Here is my Franken :)

A friend of mine actually owns a gen with the exact same dial and bracelet and tbh it’s insane how good this looks compared to the real thing.
Great Franken!

Anybody have an opinion on a Wimbleton? Photo below is RZF but I also hear that the DJF is very nice. Want to pull the trigger on one so reaching out to the experts who have seen one or both

your watch and DJf are very similar and you won't notice a big change, I would just put a gen bezel on that watch (a lot of money) or try to get an Arf bezel. You can also do as I have done, my Arf bezel came with very polished and rounded edges and it was not good, my watchmaker turned it into a smooth bezel and now it looks much more gen. It is my opinion.

Yes was going to put a gen smooth bezel on it anyway. I see them on eBay for $100 or so

The one who has his watch can be converted by a good watchmaker if he has machinery, for about € 50 and the result can be very good if he knows how to do it.

the search bar for this website doesnt seem to work. I was told they've been working on it for months now and its still not working which makes it more difficult to find what im looking for exactly for the information I am trying to find ...

does anyone know if there is a thread for the datejust 41 but model 126300 .. its basically this arf watch this thread is made on but with the smooth bezel ..

im looking for this watch below ...





I have found minimal info in random threads here but all from 3 years ago ...

I am wondering if this has been updated from any factory correcting the flaws of the 2 dots under the crown on the sidewinder ... it should have a flat line dash ... not 2 dots ... every td site I go to all I see are 2 dots ...

I read somewhere someone saying BP makes theres with each part individually so you can have them put separate parts on individually and pick what you want? is this true? if thats the case couldnt I just get the oyster band version and have them put a jubilee bracelet on instead? who will do that?

I seem to find the same exact watch on a few TD sites that has the correct side winder piece with the crown having the flat line under it but it has an oyster band and I want the jubilee band ...

anyone with solid info on this and if theres a thread for this somewhere please PM me or respond here ...

this is driving me crazy and ive spent a million hours trying to find solid information with little pieces here and there I can gather from various places.

thanks

ARF DJ41 - comes with a fluted bezel, it's the only way.

Then buy a genuine smooth bezel for £100 and then get a modder to switch them over.

thats 1 option ...

what about couldnt I buy this and ask them to put on a jubilee bracelet instead (if I pay extra) ?

or even just buy this and put a jubilee bracelet on myself?

they seem to have gotten the watch perfect as far as I can see ... the Swiss made is correct, and the sidewinder has the line under the crown

but it has an oyster bracelet ...

Buy that and ask if they call sell you a RZF jubilee too.
