so if I read correctly, ARF has launched a new batch and most of the (pre)orderers have gotten their QCs already.

what do you guys think, are the changes that ordering today will not result in another waiting months period as we have seen now?

- on my mind: if second batch doesn’t show too many problems, a third batch supposed to be a lot faster. wrong?

well, idk.

I paid on friday last week, and apparently i was lucky because just now puretime received a new batch so they could get me one as well.

i don't know if they have any left "in stock", and it's impossible to say if arf is going to supply them a new batch soon, or after CNY, you could send puretime a mail and ask.

I also ordered from PT in November and got QC pics today, but rejected due to the clasp has a big obvious gap. Those QC above looks way better than mine.

Absolutely beautiful. I guess it's worth the long wait. ????

When I get it in hand I'll judge it then but looks great so far. I had a GMF batman but someone tried to steal it in Washington at the well fargo arena when I was leaving back in November. It ended up falling and the movement broke. I was gonna order another but when I heard arf was gonna release the new movement I waited.

Probably going to franken this watch once I find a modder in Toronto. I want a real batman but the AD here in Ontario are toxic. Won't even put me on the list because I don't own one currently.

I received my QC pictures of this amazing watch yesterday; watch was ordered with Ryan on Jan 1[SUP]st[/SUP], so a pretty speedy turnaround.

The DW looks a little bold on certain later numbers, but I guess the DW will always be an issue with ARF. I don’t think it will cause me any sleepless nights and it’s no reason to reject this watch.

I’m not into modding of watches (as yet, but I've never bought a Replica Rolex before, just Omega's), I just like the best possible version I can get directly and can live with, but I am a little concerned by the LEC on this watch. It seems quite visible in every picture, and I know some members have recently highlighted this as an issue. Could this just be a batch issue or has ARF now created yet another small error to these fantastic watches?

I’m really happy with the watch otherwise and the QC work done by Intime, just waiting on the timegrapher results before giving it the GL.

Hi guys,

Just received my qc’s today, what do you think? The 18 marker looks a little off, don’t know if it’s just dirt if it’s somehow tarnished. Also not really sure if it would be noticeable on the wrist anyway. What do you think?

ask for another picture with more detail on the 18 and maybe the TDs personal opinion.

if it’s not dirt, it will turn out as a real pain as it’s quite likely this spot gets worse pretty soon then (paint can peel off)

Review after owning for a few weeks (almost a month).

Watch is fantastic! Only thing I dislike is the crystal which for some reason makes the date wheel look very dark in dim lighting. Dunno if anyone else has noticed this.

No movement trouble yet? That’s good news.
