ARF SD43 904L 126600 review (many pics)

[peterpl]

I've had more than 5 of these ARFs through my hands now. Bezel teeth are sharper than gen but honestly no one will ever know and whoever is saying that is an instant tell is kidding themselves. Its not an instant tell. far far from it.

What is an instant tell even at 1 foot away is the incorrect mag on the cyclops on the v2's. That is a much easier and instant tell than anything else on this watch. That issue you actually notice immediately when you look at the watch.

I've handled more gens than probably many of guys on here and I own many Rolex gens and am very OCD about shit. Once v2 updates the Mag it is a superb rep.

Whoever has a later version of the V1 with perfect mag do not sell it. LOL

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.

Sure mate, lucky for me I have shit vision and can't really see the fuss about the bezel teeth...

This watch is the reason I trimmed my collection and got rid of all noob watches... It just puts the noob v7 to shame ...

I believe I have a good v2. What so you all think? It's from 2 weeks ago.

Here are a few pics of my v2

Looks amazing - I read the the gen looks almost tropical in bright sunlight (link) - seems to be the same on the rep...

Just got my V2 yesterday... I’ll post pics soon. A quick question for the group here. The diving extension is awesome and since the case is large, I’m having to remove more links to center the clasp on the palm side of my wrist. How do you guys size it with the glide lock? I’m assuming you start with it as far in as you can?

For my seven inch wrist. I simply got rid of the Diver extension and wallah fits like a glove.

Pics coming

It totally does and it was the perfect day to take the pic as the sun was really shining. This watch really changes based on the lighting and if that lighting is natural or not. It's just amazing how many little details they got right.

People probably get confused about the dial as it looks ink, almost glossy black, in certain lighting and really gives off that "big sub" look; however, in other lighting it clearly distinguishes itself.

Totally agree!
This is the best rep ootb I‘ve ever handled. No rattling, nothing lose, no bracelet stretch, simply perfect. Stunning.

BTW: I removed the diver‘s extension, too. Don’t need it. After that this watch fits your wrist perfectly.

I received mine the other day too. I have to agree with others here it is a fantastic ootb rep. Those who have been critical unless you have one it’s really hard to see how good it is even in n pics they just don’t do it justice. Puts my V7 to shame!

Funny enough, I tend to have problems getting a watch to fit me just right as I have an in-between size wrist. This watch, with diver's extension attached, is an absolutely perfect fit. It is fitted to my wrist without any feeling of being too tight. I haven't even had to use the micro-adjustments!

Yeah, this watch is on another level for sure. People will not understand until they have it in hand. I think GEN Rolex owners will appreciate it the most as they can see just how close they got the feel of the watch.

In the same boat as you man!! Waiting on mine as well and I can’t wait!!

The only thing I don’t like in the watch is the cyclop, hence why I did what I did til I get a gen Xtal

Hey guys, well after coming to RWI and spending countless hour and days doing research my first rep arrived today. This watch is just amazing! When i first saw it I was just in shock at how much it shines and looks in person. I can’t wait to wear this gem everywhere.

Hey guys!! I placed an order yesterday, what are you saying about this thing on the qc? Or it’s nothing and its just my ocd? How it look overall?

Seems fine, looks pretty good. Could be just a tiny dirt right there. On a side note, is it my eyes are playing tricks on me or did they update the bezel? Looks much better in that pic.
