ARF SD43 904L 126600 review (many pics)

[muiramas]

Hi all,

Can somebody please help me with my ARF SD43?

I have wear it for a couple of days and I notice the bezel is comming loose. I can push it back down but it will come loose again, it wiggles.
Is this something I can fix at home? Do i need some new parts if I flip the bezel off?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Lift the bezel off by prying it up with a razor.
keep it upright, or you’ll tip out the clicks, which will die in your carpet.

check the gasket is installed properly in the bezel.
check there’s no other gunk fouling the gasket.

you should be able to push it back on by hand.

I accepted this QC from TD. I felt it looked ok and other pictures and video seemed good. Wasn’t running by the time it got across the pond so brought it to my guy in LA for a full service. Hoping to get it back this week

dunno how to link images on this forum

Thanks, I will tray this!
In case the gasket is broken, where can I get a new one?

Ahhh, slim lugs. SD43 paved the way for the all-new 41mm 2020 Submariner.

ARF v3 is a good looking piece. Here's hoping for improved markers and correct CGs in v4 . . . And everything else that's already good on the v3 remaining as is!

If only those horrid markers

getting hot

For me the markers are not as important as the hands. ARF makes nice 3D hands

SD hands for whatever reason are quite flat anyway. From my experimenting with them, see my signature, noob hands and dial were superior. Thus, I made a hybrid of the two.
