Thanks for sharing. It’s a little hard to tell in that photo. With uniform lighting you can clearly see the difference.

Night and day difference! Lol it's funny reading all the debate about whether or not there is a "difference" in colour. Yes there's a difference.... and yes, it's a stark one... especially when looked at side-by-side. Maybe those that don't see it need to get their eyes checked? Either that or I do.... 904L has a "white-ish" hue... 316 has a "warmer" yellowing going on

Yes there is a difference. 316 is more grey and looks almost Titanium next to 904. 904 is white or bright silver.

On polished surfaces it’s hard to see a difference because it’s like a mirror. On brushed you can see the color difference. How noticeable will vary depending on the grain, depth and smoothness of the satin brushing.

Obviously this 904 is not produced to the same standard as rolex. But for our purpose and price it is close enough.

The left bracelet seems to have softer more genlike edges.. could be due to the light or difference in metal?

How about the dial printing colour? Is it only me thinking the JF printing on dial is a bit blue+grey? or simpily a little dull?

Maybe the JF print is not quite as white as the new ARF. But the color may also vary a little throughout production runs.
