I think this SD looks great, major steps up

Totally unacceptable' and holding the poor guy back...

If flaws are not pointed out, the makers will never update their product.

If you are happy with where we are, then fine, if a flaw pushes your buttons, you wait.......hoping they will bring a updated version (and don't f*&^ up somethings else).

Ah. Difficult to notice sarcasm on this one now - been so many nit picks...
like the clasp thing above. 'Totally unacceptable' and holding the poor guy back...

i love mine and think it's freaking awesome.

I'm not "poor", it's just inaccurate to me. You don't have to bite every time you feel offended by a different opinion. Relax.

No worries, the watch generally is awesome indeed, there's a little detail that annoys me, that's all.

They should fix the "0" in "30" its a little shorter than the "3" then it would be perfect.

You know, the coronet is an especially important element on a Rolex rep. If you put this crap side by side with a Noob coronet, you might also see the difference. The Noob is pretty good so don't even mention the gen clasp.
The rest is very well done indeed.
Have a nice day.

Yeah, same old sh... The coronet is still very amateur and inaccurate. Anyway, thanks for the photos.

Do you have any photos of a gen clasp so I can learn ?

Exactly. That's the *only* point here.

Not offended at all. But why not make your point informaive / educational with side by side pics or other analysis rather than just making a drive by shit post?

If you were giving feedback to improve a product / person you'd never say it / they was shit / totally unnacceptable - you'd give reasons.

Received my ARF SD43 a few days ago after a month of delays related to a complicated long order I had made.
Movement impressively strong and accurate at Amp 295, +/- 1 sec/d.
I have the new DWO, the new rotor, and what appears to be a correct cyclops magnification.
Probably the most impressive rep I have ever put under my 10X loupe.

Hello guys, any advice on how to fix the magnification, bought one from m2m, beautiful Rep but the mag flaw it's something that once you notice.you keep staring at it.. ..
Thanks

Are you sure it’s x3? Reason I ask is it looks like high magnification but next to my v7’s it’s actually the same magnification it’s only that the window will is slightly larger.

Just recently got interested in this model. Anyone has any ideas why ARF is not making these in 3135 movement?

So I give reasons to guys like you for making direct insults by criticizing a F* clasp? ... Just behave, right?
Don't label anyone automatically a "poor guy". ​​​​​​

Yes, that detail - to me - is totally unacceptable, wether you like it or not. It's just my opinion.

"Why not make.."? Not that it would be your business, but I also have many other things to do.
So this is the amount of time I want to waste here, no more.
Instead of labeling and insulting you can go google.

Perhaps because the right rotating direction of the crown for this gen. model (cal.3235) is same as the eta 2824 has. So it's the opposite of the 3135 movement. But that's actually kind of good news also because the asian 2824 it's said to be more reliable than the 3135. But if it fits in your budget it would be wiser go for BK version with swiss eta.

Hard to see really in photo but it looks ok to me. I wouldn’t sweat

You mis understood the expression 'poor guy' - probably a language thing. It was not a 'wealth' related use of the word and not an insult. (Maybe google it...)

ok, no problem - you don't have the time or feel you need to explain your comments on this watch.

lets move on.

In addition to what chamomix said, about direction and reliability, the 2824 is the same size as the 3235. Using the 3135 would mean an incorrect crown height / Cg shape. No reason at all to want a 3135 movement in this watch, so dont expect to ever see one.

And that has what to do with the 30 on the ceramic insert? Iam talking about the ceramic insert.
