ARF 904L Explorer i 214270 will release very soon

[KJ2020]

Well if users are that nitpicky about the "3", then the above posted photo also has spacing between "E" and "xplorer".issue, not very prominent as in the older JF but still not spot on.

Yeah I saw that. Scroll back a page to my pic of the gen, it has that also. The new ARF ( E XPLORER ) spacing is spot on with gen. ARF is a little less bold font though. In this pic you can readily see the thinner ARF font on the numerals I mentioned earlier. Also the hour markers are thinner. Still a great rep!

Any idea what this will cost in $ please?

From my VERY limited knowledge, the current good quality reps go for about $368 (?).

If when this comes in new will be much more $368, I will stop waiting and go for the current next best thing....

Thanks

EXPLORER text on the ARF is definitely off,
it's E XPLORER.
I've just received the JF last week and I see zero sense in getting one of these. The watch is tiny and has no AR, so there are all sorts of reflections. You just can't see these flaws on the wrist, there's no way.

The numeral 3 right side curve is accurate in the new ARF. The model is a step closer to gen and by far the best of it's kind available. It's too bad that while they were changing the dial they didnt make the numerals thicker like the gen. Very easy to see the rep numerals are thinner, which makes them appear wider (stretched).

ok mate, but your gen is render. it isnt real one....
and we can not know if Angus held a really new arf in his hand

Puretime just post a news. I think the dial is good, but the crown need to update

The hole at the base of the crown is slightly too small you're right, but you need a bloody good set of eyes to spot it

great improvements .. indeed I would say excellent ..

unfortunately, the problem of the number 3 is always there .. it always has an incorrect shape ... and you can notice it even more in this picture ..

 

[Skyking]

The 3 issue seems to really stand out in the lume shots. But I guess that's only if you know to look for it.

The 'Swiss Made' and 30 minute marker are spaced too closely to the 6 on the rep vs the gen. This is a much more noticeable tell.

your expert advice? is probably the oyster better?

 

[jampo]

now i dont want the explorer anymore????

 

[ginopino]

I have the JF and really don’t feel the need to change it.
but I will look for the ARF clasp...

 

[lukko]

it is sad to see how in the case of the explorer the dial has been slightly updated (as in the last batch of the JF), and that they have only changed the writing on the clasp to differentiate "JF" from "ARF" and introduced a better crown, but that all the rest remained unchanged. I expected better quality hands according to ARF / JF standards that offer the best rep chinese spheres on the market today. Unfortunately they are the same as the last JF batch.

Even the clasp was waiting for me better, but also in this case it isn't so good as was expected.


Can't wait to 114300 with black dial, then i will decide
