anyone bought the ARF model?

I bought it and it’s amazing. It shines, sparkles like the gen. This thing is absolutely beautiful. So guys, stop nitpicking for small bs, if you like it, get it. It’s just a watch, a rep watch, -$500. Much more solid and beautiful than any gen Sector, Invicta or Philip Watch out there.
If you guys can afford the gen, I swear that nobody can call you out with the watch on your wrist as it screams gen.
But if you can’t afford the gen, even the real deal screens fake on your wrist, lol

To your opinion, will they fix the issue the ‘3’? And how long does it usually take to release a new batch?

even if they fix the 3..they need to fix the 6 etc. markers should be rounder on the edges etc.....and overall: does the lume last as long as gen?

forget 100% perfect ootb replicas & tinitonsi summed it quite well... ;)

So what if they have the gen? Doesn't mean anything. It's the 9th version of the Submariner, don't you think they haven't figured out how to replicate it perfectly? Having the gen doesn't mean anything if they want to leave it with flaws here and there to "improve" in the next version.

why? SH3132 is excellent and very reliable...

get the v2 or the arf...

yeah, how so? I seem to recall it's one of the most unreliable rep movements out of the box due to:

- unlubricated parts;
- dirt;
- red paint on reversing wheel flaking off;

A service can cover the first two issues (additional 150$), and for the third you'll need to buy a gen reversing wheel, and this can set you back at least 100$.

Which means to make it "excellent and reliable" you need to spend an additional 250$/300$ on top.

So do you suggest noob 2824? It has defects?

Jistca quick question. Does ARF uses,same dial as JF? I am asking as you pointing same flaws about both of them. I really wanted Ex1 rep, but if they messed up with 3 and 6, it is quite bad... is that visible in every day use?

Not the “swiss made” position, I believe
