ARF SD43 904L 126600 review (many pics)

[tinitonsi]

how about the coronet on the ARF clasp, looks very out of place on this watch because the rest is spot on.

It's the last thing I’m looking for... honestly.
And If you needed from 5 to 10 seconds to spot the rep clasp in those 3 I posted above, zoomed on it, then don’t care about the coronet.

i know. Its a small thing but once you see it it can not be unseen and i recognize that coronet in a second because the opening is so much bigger then the gen. Its even more frustrating that ARF got it right on their v1 but the latest version has this strange shape. I hope they can fix this issue.
Would it be possible to change the coronet ? How is it connected to the bracelet anyway

Honestly I dont see how the coronet is really an issue unless you're posting your fake watch on instagram or gen forums trying to make people think its the real deal.

well, i would like to own a Rolex rep that is as close to the gen as possible without doing any mods if possible and the ARF 126600 is the one i have my eyes on. Its just so annoying that they changed the shape of that coronet because it was quit good in the earlier version.

All reps will come with a flaw, one way or another they will screw something up with every new version. Thats y theres no best sub even after 8 versions.

In the case of this 126600, we are lucky that the dial and the general look of the face is good. The noob subs had ugly lugs and insert colour that obviously show its a rep. Now ARF gives us a very good rep with a minor flaw on the clasp, im actually thanking god for that. Because i dont turn my hand to look at the clasp, i actually prefer to look at the watch head.

And ive seen people wearing Noob's sub in my field of work, the insert paint is so dark i could tell its a rep right away.

But i zip my mouth and continue my life, no one is gonna call you out based on your clasp. This world is more forgiving than u think so dont worry about the clasp, it will be the least of your issues in the rep world.

ok, I understand hat no rep can be 100% like the gen but if i would like to fix the clasp how can this be done. Is there someone who can do a mod or is it even possible to do it myself
How is the coronet connected to the clasp anyway ?

Anyone receive QC pics lately that have the fixed bezel teeth? I haven't seen any chatter on this here or anywhere else beyond the one person that posted his QC pics. It's strange that they would fix that and not call it a new version. It's a significantly bigger update than what ARF did for v2 lol.

I just ordered mine but have not received QC pics. I’ll post a few as soon as I receive them

sorry guys .. but someone can post a side by side of the clasp V1 vs V2?

 

[Pelagic]

I have a v2 with the updated bezel coming in. I’ll compare it with the v1 when I receive it.

Posting QC pics is against the rules.

 

[5t3f4n]

[jonzane]

Ah, apologies - new to this site! Do you know where I can post these? I had trouble posting them on the general forum.

You can only post qc pics when you are not sure about a specific part on the watch not just asking if there is anything wrong with the watch without pointing to a specific area. Dont worry, the watch looks perfect .

If you still want to post your qc pics you can do so in another forum , just follow this link. https://www.repgeek.com/quality-cont...cture-gallery/

(Mods: i hope its allowd to put a link to another forum, looked for rules about this but could not find any)
