compared to what? that is exactly right answer too, to fake, to replica, if you pay 500 for a watch, it has to have certain quality and ofcourse QC. With every brand you pay something for a name, herritage, advertising etc, with replica none of this is worth anything. So yes, pay 500 for a watch that need to be serviced is pretty stupid don´t you think?

compared to gen 214720 this arf 214270 is worth the 500$ qualitywise. mine runs perfect without service, the jf v2 run also perfect without service so far.
but a lot of ppl even send in their gen rolex for a service, so they bought a gen f.e. for 5K and pay a few hundred dollars for a service, so i think i dont get your point to 100%.

it is difficult to explait it to you, 500 dollars for a replica watch with doggy movement is expensive, period. For 500 dollars for example Hamilton can fit in watch ETA movements, why not these replicas? Do you really think that these watches with sapphire crystal and SH or SA movements are worth even 300 dollars? For me it is simple, quite easy dial of 214270 is still way off with lots of flaws with SH or SA movements for 500 dollars? They are able to make 1:1 dial but the question is why would they do it? it is better to come with V2, V6, V287. Simply, replica, way off, SH or SA movement, 500 dollars. People do need replica brain to think this is ok.
I’ve seen Hamilton watches with ETA movements run way worse than some reps. I agree that it feels weird to have it serviced right when you bought it. But to have the precision you want, it takes a lot of time for the builder, which costs money. Which would make it a lot more expensive. And the flaws, that’s also the money business. If you would make it perfect in one try, you can’t make the money if you let it take for example 5 batches...
I honestly don't understand why some of you still think that this is not a great rep...

Which one is this? It looks great
Congrats VICAD that is a great watch. Perfect for a daily time keeper. I now torn between the black dial Oyster Perpetual and this beauty.
I don’t mind owning both if my budget permits......hmm now for the winner and my first rep????

Depends on what you want. The perpetual is a little closer to gen. Both of them are incredibly great reps. You won’t make a bad choice
Please, change thouse numerals for a thicker once, updated SH movement ( and cleaned, serviced from TD) and it is an instant buy
What do you mean by "change those numerals for a thicker one"? How is that possible?
Nope, the 3 is still a different font, the middle part is still too sharp inwards...
Looks like the ARF is out of stock at Puretime. Anyone pre-ordered the new batch? Do you think they will update these issues?
