Can anyone confirm who has ordered latele that the date font on newer batches got better?

I've just rejected this one today. Just can't live with the BOLD & misaligned Datewheel when I know there are better out there.

Any idea if ARF is making V2 of the 36mm DateJust Jubilee YG/SS?

Northerner omg this one was too bold..so cheap

I was so disappointed to see the print quality - BOLD, shoddy printing & misaligned. I've asked for another. I appreciate they are Reps, but I've seen so much better ARF examples than this.

Guys, I’d advise you to get the version with oyster now and just buy a jubilee bracelet by itself when released. You never know when a batch of parts is going to run out and be replaced with an inferior successor

Although my ARF 41 is great, I'm thinking about going with a gen 126300 with jubilee bracelet. Would it be possible to replace the bracelet of the gen with the oyster from the ARF?

What do you guys think of the QC pics from puretime I’ve just received? I personally think the date is too bold.

Bold !!!! So its official the DW is not updated

I’m not sure whether to reject as it looks great other than that and I don’t think I will get a different DW. Best option may be to just add a new DW at some point in the future when it arrives?!

It absolutely baffles me how they can make such a great replica but such a poor DW. Surely the DW is easy to replicate??

I think this too, also the cyclops on the xtals, they nail so many other small details.

may I suggest, if you have a bold font but nicely aligned and the rest of the watch is good, accept it and try to get noob or DJF date wheel. some of noobs fonts are quite good, I think a 2836 overlay will fit in a 2824.

ARF has shown in other models that they indeed can get the DW right, idk why they take so long to fix this and release the oyster bracelet.....

Release the jubilee bracelet you mean? I don’t know of any ARF models with the right DW, just some of the stock they use is less offensive to the eye.

So I've been trawling Rolex forums and it appears you can swap the oyster for the jubilee quite happily. So I can only presume with the rep this would be the same. Has anyone tried this with another factories bracelet at all?
