ARF SD43 904L 126600 review (many pics)

Not a new version, but they sold out so some of us are waiting on a new batch to come out. I ordered last week.

but its easy to see the difference and an instant tell . That is why i am waiting for ARF to release a new version where the bezel teeth are the same as the gen. I really hope they will fix this soon as I want this watch badly.
I ordered early last week. So it must have been shortly after you got yours. Lucy said she is just waiting on new ones to come in.

Wish people would drop this 'instant tell' crap. Most people don't give a damn whats on your wrist, and even those that do wouldnt look at how pointy your bezel teeth are for christs sake.
Get it right for the sake of getting it right. But 'instant tell'? come on...

Anyone who can "instant tell" a fake is either an expert, owns the exact piece and knows it like the back of his hand, or is one of us.
Also, the GEN has a pointy bezel as well. It's to make the grip easier when you have gloves on. Is it pointier on the ARF? Yes but it's not an "instant tell." It's something you have to analyze with side-by-side with the actual watch or look extremely closely at HD pics (at different angles) or videos. Even then, it's not blatant. I think mine is slightly less sharp than others as my V2 has some adjustments and also mine has the proper date wheel. Guess I got lucky.

Instant tell for the bezel is absolutely nonsense.
BTW this is an easy fix. I showed pics from my deburred bezel some pages before.
If this is not enough you can still reduce the outer diameter of the bezel 0.1-0.2mm. After that you will get less deeper grooves.

You'll likely just say their 'too pointy - instant tell'... i assume you can qualify your advice with a first hand experience of holding the gen and rep side by side?
- Picture please?
Folks are really care about th teeth as the deal breaker are missing out on a fantastic overall package

I wish i could forget about those teeth as i really want this watch. Maybe i am going to order it anyway and later buy a seperate bezel from ARF when they fix it.

Folks who care about the teeth, are folks who care about the teeth. Once it's been seen it can't be unseen. It would bother me every minute I wear the watch.
So ARF please update the darn teeth.
IMO the ugliest detail is still the coronet on the clasp. That's something really unacceptable.
