ARF 126711CHNR gain weight

[mcboom]

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.

They don't use the VR3186 they are using the VR3285 same as C+

You are correct sir. So.... now I'm really stumped. Is the VR3285 a good alternative? I may just end up going with the Clean Bruce Wayne and changing the bezel. Thanks for the info. Tom

Any idea if any factories are still using the VR3186 for a Black bezel 116710? Pretty much every TD site says they are..... but they obviously are not. I guess I just have to email every one before I pull the trigger.

I have the VR3285 in a C+ batman and it winds smoother than the DD3285. So far I'm very impressed by the movement

I saw here there a new ARF movement, is this the same movement as this? will ARF will have Dangdong DD3285,

pls post photos when you recieve it, thinking of pulling this one,

Clean has exclusivity for the DD3285 as far as I'm aware so you won't see it in other factory watches.

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.

Looking forward for a review between the clean & arf rootbeer mate i’ll just wait when you get it..post some reviews! i have a pepsi vr3186 i have no problem with the movement but i sold it & bought the newer V3 DD3285, really like it, hoping VR3285 same as reliable as DD3285 hope the rose gold tone color goods as gen

Why would there be weight gain on a stainless steel case for a 2 tone? Aren't full golds heavier?

 

[pinoyako04]

Ordered one and will post pictures once in hand

any update on your arf rootbeer can you post it thanks mate

Looks good mate! Hows the rose gold tone? Better than clean? Hows the movement also?

I have bought one gen link just to compare the rose gold colour. I think this is super close and not even possible to tell the difference if compared side by side. The very slight difference can be always explained by the external factors differences like humidity, climate, etc as gold color is reacting to these factors over time.

Thanks a lot for this comparison. Is this ARF?

 

[nicksudar]

Yes, this is ARF with the added weight

How does the rose gold color look compared to the clean version? Do you notice it feeling heavier? I am looking to pull the trigger on a root beer and wonder if this gain weight version is the ine I should go for.

Colour is less copper than the Clean. I don't notice the extra weight on wrist.

You were saying the clean version is more copper colored compared to ARF's version? So ARF is more gen like on the rose gold color better than clean version?

 

[nicksudar]

Yes, I have shown pictures earlier with 1 gen link to compare, the color on ARF is spot on. I can’t see any difference

Correct

Wow that’s the best match I’ve seen from factory!
