Are you sure this isn’t the BP version? The bezel scallops are different and the bezel engraving doesn’t look nearly as good.

I also asked the SS grade waiting for most of my questions to be answered. Appreciate feedback however I will update once I get reply.

I dunno man, if you asked for the ARF and got sent this, I would end that conversation immediately. Unless ARF completely messed up on their recent update, there is just no way this ARF

Only thing I have going on it, they were waiting as well. I purchased in past with them and no issues. I asked them for that particular watch and sent me some pics to work with. Haven’t committed to it, thanks for the heads up.

I have also sent payment and confirmed already 3 other watches, now waiting for the SD43... There is no exact information on the waiting period, this sucks [emoji36][emoji36]

No they did not. But assuming that everyone is on hold, I'm pretty sure it has to be a new batch.

“LIST: Fight night – 5 key differences between the new (ref. 122600) and old (ref. 116600) Rolex Sea-Dweller” via @watchville https://api.watchville.co/v2/posts/31311/click

Hi

That article is wrong. The Gen has a Matte dial - it’s quite textured in the sunlight.

Also the AR coating under the cyclops on the Gen does sometimes create a blue hue (but it’s very subtle)

The dial text is also al little off on the rep but it’s very good overall. The bezel insert is the best I’ve ever seen of any rep.

PS - the biggest "tell" that jumps out at me with the rep is that the cyclops magnification is actually a bit too strong. On the gen due to the bigger distance between the date wheel and the cyclops the magnification isn't as strong as on say a Sub.

I'll find a pic if anyone's interested?

just received the watch doesn't wear that large
the build quality is F ing outstanding by far the best stock rollie, the crystal and the cyclops are far better than stock noob,and regarading the datewheel i think only number 3 5 6 8 that's a little bit too thick but wont be noticeable at all
everything screams gen

and also does anyone have the photos of this rep showing the matte dial ? it's night in here and could not find the sunlight but using the flashlight from my phone it doesn't look that matte
