ARF 126334 DateJust 41, Best in the market

[Tobel]

It seems nice, imo.

I can't understand all these post about the numbers font. These are industrial product in which datawheel are identical per each stock. They aren't manually painted, so which kind of differences are you looking for?

Factories assemble parts that they order from different manufacturers, and in several batches along the lifetime of a given model. Therefore there is variance in between batches, but unlikely within the same batch

That date font looks different, it is not as bold/thick like the others I've seen. Is that from ARF?

 

[Bobi01]

It is,nice fonts,

I believe it depends on numbers: till 19 are thinner and more gen like; 2x are bolder. Look at these (same watch):

How is your guys lume?
Mine aint got lume at all when it is dark.
Will it appear right away or do it have to charge with light or something?

I think with the Date there should be 3 things cleared with everyones mind before ordering.

1.)
Do you wear it as a rep and take the „flaws“ and You aren‘t bothered if someone says „hey, that’s a rep“

or
2.)
Does this bother you and you want to tell your grandma and your friends its a gen?

or
3.)
You don’t care what people say but the bolded DW looks like shit for you.

—————

1.)
Just buy it, its an awesome watch!

2.)
Just buy it and install a gen DW or overlay by a modder. Yes that will cost some cash but should be possible. If this doesn’t work you have to wait for an update (maybe).

3.)
look at 2.)

That‘s my opinion.

Totally agree, I've got a cheeky collection now but this is my first foray into rolexes. I've played around with all of mine servicing etc but as there's no maintenance manuals lying around for these I just like to find out if anyone's adjusted there own dials, really so I can just accept the watch and change it to my liking, as you say with a different date wheel and such. Reps these days are just sublime.

yes, same color
need to keep the wife happy since I‘m still in the Daytona franken love. Would like to get the blue datejust but in my opinion there is no sunburst on that blue dial. Now the black dial is different. I could be wrong since I have not seen any good pics.

Are the date fonts bolder or thicker on the dates from 20-31. Thanks.

Based on my own watch, dates 20-31 fonts are thicker, whereas the fonts for 1-19 are passable and not as bad.

Thanks. It somewhat similar to the MKF V5 and V6 Nautilus, wherein the dates 1-19 and 30-31 are passable and 20-29 not so much. Is anyone working on a DWO for the ARF DJ41 that you know of? Thanks again.

No problem. My pleasure to help, bro. Regarding a DWO for the ARF DJ41, I have don't have any news of pending work. I saw your post on the Patek forum about it. I really wish someone took it on as a project, it would be an instant money maker for them because there would be a LOAD of people lining up to buy it.
