What about the movement? Is it reliable as DD3285? Thinking of pulling this one too..

The weight is good. But the gold part is still brown, it's not pink gold as gen

Magnification and rehaut polish also looks better on ARF than clean. I just wish their yellow gold looked more gen like.

Not a whole lot of info out there on ARF GMTs. How do they compare to the Clean GMTs? I am interested in the all black bezel 116710LN which only comes with the VR3186 no matter who produces it, so is the ARF a good alternative to the Clean?

The original ARF was a good factory on par with Clean & VS. Not sure if this is same one but so far feedback on their watches has been positive. I'm looking forward to getting the 126711CHNR I ordered in hand to compare with the Clean factory.

Visually the are quite good watches, but they don’t have the DD3285. That’s the main drawback.

Both use the VR3186, so as long as the other parts of the ARF are good, it should be a good alternative to the Clean.
