ARF 126334 DateJust 41, Best in the market

[Jayalvin777]

OH, it's repped, available from most TDs

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.

I would stay on arf or vsf for dj41...

Oof that is nice comparison thanks for this
gen is more dark and have much subtle sunburst and that is the difference

Did ARF forget the 30 min numbers at 6 o'clock ?????? compared to the GEN ???

Lol
there are 2 gen versions of the Dial , the newer ones have the crown on the 6 o'clock position like the Arf v3

Has anyone tried to fit the VSF crystal on the ARF?
Planning to source the crystal and dw from VSF and replacing these using ARF as base.

Yep very nice idea. Mostly for the DW. Look same as gen.

You wont be able to source neither of thosr parts. Vsf dont sell them for that exact reason, to stop people buying their parts and install them on another watches. That's the advantage vsf has over other fsctories most of the parts are produced by themselves.

Nah not true. High chance if you’re friends enough with a TD, they could source individual parts for you. Money talks.

Give it a try. Unless your td has extremely good connections then you might have a chance but its really unlikely. I speak from experience, the most your td will be able to source is either a movement, bracelet or clasp. When rxf came out and people saw how good the xtal was, a lot of people tried to source it but after 1 day they say they wont sell any xtal anymore.

Or you buy the whole watch and change the parts you want

Most TDs have good connections with the factories, if not they probably wouldn’t be able to order so many watches from them and supply us. I recently managed to order 2 dials (ARF and VSF), hands (VSF) and bezel (ARF) via my TD. So it’s definitely possible.

As i said you can source certain parts not all. Its the same with noob insert. Try source one, its almost impossible. Write me if you ever source a xtal lol

I am getting the VSF Crystal aswell as the DW for 100$ from my TD

And yes I am a loyal long term customer, so probably thats why?

Most likely, 99% times doesn't work. I sourced some like 2 or 3 months ago but nowadays has become extremely hard.

I had the exact same problem when recieved from China. Worked a few days, then stopped at night.

When it was returned for modding (crystal and DW) it worked/works fine for some reason. The modder in Greece didn't even modify the movement as far as I know so I don't know what caused it.
