My QC photos of ARF DJ36, date is still bold in V3. What do you guys think about this one?

The movement perform really well though. For that reason I think the timepiece is acceptable. Anyone spot any issues at all?

The watch is perfect. For information, the V3 have the bold datewheel. You have to overlay a gen DW on it to fix the problem. You should green light.

I'm supernoob first time commenting on this thread so please bear with me, I'll 110% try my best to follow rules!


Just got QC's for my Silver dial ARF 41 DJ and I'm quite sure the DW isn't just the angle so that the dates are off centre. Crown looks good to my eyes, but the DW really puts me off as of now, am I being paranoid or what do you think about it?

LOL - the DW on these ARF is just laughable.

Just wait until VSF release their version and save yourself the headaches.

Is there any movement that will fit in the arf case and be completely silent? Will the new vsf clone movement fit??

Sourcing a vsf movement its really hard, also you will need new dial, hands and so on. If you got already an Arf I would swap the clone eta for a Gen eta. Worth the upgrade imo

I just watched a YouTube guy in Dubai purchase a gen white dial Roman numeral Datejust 41 and I'm salivating over that watch. Someone meantioned here that the difference of gen to rep is considerable. I wonder if rhodium /white gold plating that fluted bezel would make it shine as much? Obviously, that leaves the date wheel to fix. I'm about to get the rep.....

Welll there are few people that got already their vsf datejust. I personally havent seen any factory that reps the watch you posted above. I think vsf nailed pretty much everything on this release. Datewheel and crystal imo look spot on. I will share detailed photos once i get mine...

I'm just wondering if plating that stainless bezel would give the rep more shine. Still haven't seen the rep of it up close. Which is why I was going to buy one.. Ha, $400 curiosity fix.. I must be unstable. :p
