Agree . For me apart from Bez teeth looks same as V2

 

[botsyboy]

Bezel teeth do look better but not as good as Noob V2 nor do the crown guards look as good.

It is curious to note the fact that AR continues to use 2824

Watch is up on puretime now, but hold onto your wallets as it seems they messed the date up - like they are doing on most of their watches right now...

One would think ARF would boast whatever updates they have made to the SD43 in a more direct manner. We are left guessing and translating obscure Chineese postings, or comparing dealer pictures. Or maybe the biggest update they made was adding the 3 that follows V in V3. I cant see much of a difference personally.

Looks like a new rotor is the biggest change. I'm happy with my V2.

I can help you guys translate it, i know simplified chinese (PRC) and Traditional Chinese (Taiwan/HK).

“AR awesome creation super 904L Sea dweller 126600 Red Sea the best "V3" upgraded version, AR Super Diver King bracelet and watch case is using the highest quality imported 904 steel material (It will definitely able to pass the steel test), The watch bracelet and watch case has very shiny white finish and it definitely won't have the darker yellowish color, Super Diver King "V3" has increase 1 level in skill and break through.

1: Watch bracelet and Watch case are more detail and accurate to genuine
2: Bezel engraving and font are more accurate and 3D depth
3: The inside of the watch clasp is more refine, accurate and detail + with Seagull 2824 movement and comes with "genuine" packaging., this is the true best 904L best version of SEA Red Diver King . . . . "




FYI
The chinese call the rolex Sub, DSSD and SD40/43 it 水鬼 aka Diver watch but if you direct google translate its water ghost LOL, they call the SD43 126600 鬼王 aka King of Diver.

I meant that it looked rough, English is not my native tongue, but I guess you had a good laugh at someone for making a mistake. Good for you Paardelul.

Hey did you buy a 43 mm Sea Dweller? I recognised the P word

So after more research I've concluded that the GEN dial is near impossible to source as are the dials unless any member can tell me different.....

I have now engaged with Prof for one of his crystals

Im going to leave the rest be apart from the date wheel - Question to the experts is will the 3135 DW fit the A2824 V2?

Thanks

I believe that crystal magnification is corrected. Previous versions were too big.

Yes, the original DW will work as overlay

Does anyone know how brown or tropical is the ARF SD43 V3 dial under sunlight?

The genuine one seems to be quite brown and tropical...

Am considering getting one myself.

My V2 looks matte just like that in the sun. Maybe a hair less brown but could be down to lighting/camera. Negligible difference imo.

Edit: there's also a reflection going on off the crystal in that pic.

 

[m5smg2]

Yes ARF dial is definitely matte in direct sun. Can’t upload pics on my thread from Tapatalk anymore.
