ARF need to start upping their game and making the Sub C and GMT2c/BLNR

If they can get the bezels as good as this + the cyclops then they would have a HUGE hit. Big big money to be made here they should take advantage of the current gap in the market with these shortfalls.

If they made a proper Batman with good insert it would be HUGE.

Hey guys! My ARF is on its way, it's from the first batch but i got it from a well known member here so i trust more that it comes without issues. Plus, i'll get it in a couple of days instead of in January

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited i am about it! But i'll need your help with something.

I want to put a gen datewheel on it. Will it fit on the movement? And where can i find it? I've looked here: " startimesupply.com " but they don't list the datewheel for the 3235 movement. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers guys!
Alex

I think it runs 2824 movement

You're right, but it's an asian 2824 adapted for the SD43, i'm trying to figure out which gen correspondent it has.

So whats the longest wait period someone has waited from a TD? I'm at 8 days now since paying still no QC.

I cant answer that. Best to ask the OP in this thread. He seems to know his stuff. @Pelagic

I ordered 3rd December so on 14 days now! I guess it also depends on the TD used and how many other orders they have pending. I went with ChazingTime.

Serious? Ahhh man I'm with Ken as well. I was hoping to get it before NYE. Wonder why they are doing 10-20 pieces and releasing these - maybe ARF of still quite a small factory and cant produce as much as say Noob or JF. They are missing out on huge amounts of money their boss should focused on upping production.

Yeah other posts suggest they are only getting 4 or 5 watches per TD a week. ChazingTime replied to me last week saying they are only getting a few pieces at a time but lots of orders to fill. Hopefully the factory are focusing on producing these.

ARF will be making GMT/EXP. I’m sure the LN gmt will be amazing. Let’s see if and how good the BLNR and Pepsi bezels can be.

I wouldn't really hold out much hope for the Ceramic Pepsi Bezel but am sure the Master II Green and BLNR should come out well

If ARF makes a GMT II LN/BLNR/BLRO as nice as this SD I will buy it for sure. I'm having anxiety attacks waiting for my QC pictures. I ordered a couple JF 16610 LV inserts, Then the next day added a NOOB YM Dark Rhodium dialed 116622 YM, Then a ARF 43MM SD and a BP SD Classic which I promptly changed within two days to the new re release of the BP SD 16610 Polizia di Stato. So I'm sure Sead is more than confused. I just wait patiently knowing we are having a pre Star Wars BBQ today and then going to see the Last Jedi.

but even this joy can't keep my mind off the watches!!!!!!

Guys! Be aware, my watchsmith told me that it can’t even pass the 5Atm test. Whereas all my breitlings / panerais / iwc passed the 10 atm mark without issues out from the box. So i’ll keep this baby away from water and if you want to go swimming with it, i’d suggest you take the test first. Hope this helps
