Think this is the best blackhole cyclops ever OOTB....

Wow I thought I was crazy as I didn't see that mentioned and I also think they lack more depth...

Are there better hands in the market that could replace these ? I don't have that much experience with Rolex as I'm more a Pam guy!

How about gen hands fitted on the A2836?

Gen hands won’t fit but you can get a tall cannon pinion mod done, which would raise the hour hand up (away from dial), hence adding a degree of depth.

Currently the hour hand is very close to the dial:

Congrats @mech500 !
How does the ARF 904L compare with your gen SD4K in metal brightness and brushing?

 

[RobSe1]

does someone know how the bezel is fixed?
is it like on the Noob V7 with a plastic gasket ring?

The ARF brush and metal brightness actually looks better than my used gen HULK and SD4k. Lol.

Most used Rolex watches have been rebrushed at home or other non Rolex centre with scotch-brite or whenever and I find that they all look slightly different in terms of brush, hue and brightness.


Bottom to top: ARF SD43, gen hulk, noob hulk, gen sd43.

^ill take better pics in daylight tomorrow but right now they all basically look the same. The Noob hulk bracelet is a little duller but it is used and perhaps that could theoretically explain some of the difference.

ARF bracelet is definitely good as gen in terms of brush, shine and colour. I can’t spot any difference that can not be attributed to different angle, different level of wear etc:

You guys are killing me... I need mine now!!!! Anybody hear when the next batch will be released?

 

[tko]

Just heard from Andrew and he said “stocks available now”

Really debating pulling the trigger. Don’t see any glaring flaws.

 

[d4m.test]

I've been told today "back in stock in 8 days"

I have sent an email to my TD asking if it's in stock or if it will be a bit more time. I will update when I receive an answer.

Got a Message today from Sead that they updated the Bezel and the DW font.
He got mine, so they are released right now.
:bounce:

*maybe it depends on the TD how quick they get pieces from the new batch...if they need only 2 instead of 50 so they get them maybe quicker

Post QC pics to confirm once he sends them to you! This is great news.

Do you mean the bezel font & DW font...... or bezel scallops & DW font?

I think it's the Bezel Scallops . The Bezel Insert ( ie numbers engraving ) is fine on this one
