Ok I have received my additional QC pics and can confirm that the SELS are completely plated in gold, I've accepted. Can't wait to receive this!

There was a comparison of ARF to Gen color in another thread, color looks too yellow and VRF looks too orange.
https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...67#post8156467

GMF wrapped seems to be the one that has come closest in colour

I don't see a big difference, and this is side by side, i tried the gen in the AD and then bought the ARF and it was very ose but i did not campre it directly.

Received my watch. It's a stunner, one of the highest quality reps I've ever laid my hands on. However, I am not keen on it. Will be putting it for sale via M2M as a catch and release

ARF is pretty close, a good buy now that SEL sides are covered.

I just received qc pics of the new 116613LB V3 with the sh3135. 30 has a smudge on it but I still accepted it as the rest looks really good and don’t wanna push my luck. Now I got a reason to swap for a gen datewheel too :D can post pics if anyone wants to see it.

I just received my v3 (2824) and I think the xstal mag is a bit lower then 2.5.? Unfortunately it wasn't evident in the qc bc pics were taken up close.
I can’t tell if the issue is from the DW itself or is it the xstal mag?

Can you post some pictures of the cyclop?

Sorry, just saw the picture on your last post. For some reasons, it did not show initially.

Actually, I don’t think it is lower than 2.5x. It actually look awesome to me. I remember seeing complaints about Arf cyclop being too big like 3x. Yours looks 2.5x and perfect IMO.
