ARF SD43 904L 126600 review (many pics)

[Bigred7078]

i asked to him if it was in stock and he said so. I paid and he sent pics. I say: " are you sure this is the last batch with corrected bezel teeth and datewheel? ". He said yes and I accepted the watch. That's all. Maybe he sent the same pics to other guys before i paid because they did request. in about 7/8 days i will have and i will see if there are differences. I don't want to blame anybody. But if he sent to different paying people the same pics, well i don't think this is correct. But - i repeat - don't know and i don't judge. If some people paid and received the same pics, please pm and let's see if inform the admin/mod.

Honestly, he probably didn’t even know the bezel teeth were updated. It seems to be a silent update since no one is calling it v3...As far as he is concerned it’s the most recently updated version v2, which is true.

Now the whole thing about the same QC being sent to two different people, that’s some BS.

I still enjoy my OG SD43, She’s a beaut. The heft and quality build of this piece is mesmerizing every time I reach for it in my watch box.

I wonder when/if we will be able to source updated bezels and inserts from dealers?

Well I don’t blame you, the SD43 is a top tier rep. The BLNR and Pepsi as gens are amazing but the reps are meh...

I checked with Ryan regarding the updated batch with updated bezel teeth and he said it the only update done was the v2 update. I guess I will wait till ARF officially comes out with the V3.

When will be released V3?

yeah that sthe trouble and the reason why im leaning towards one of these, spent many months reading the temp forum and now this and i think im about ready to jump in an dmake a purchase. I dont know when the next version of the GMT will be released although i see alot of people wanting one so so far the CHS 3186 is looking the best rep out there. But the pics of these seadwellers are amazing,

that movement will break if you touch it and cannot be fixed.
there is no good GMT rep at the moment.

Both from BK but the Sd43 has to be send back for fix up( as shown has something under the glass around the 1oclock)

The insert looks not like ARF more like BP Ultimate oO

 

[Big_Pilot]

This looks better and better. I see a v3 version coming up, including the required price hike.

The tip of the hour hand looks a bit strange to me.

BK's does mod to it so I'm not sure if he changed any parts, is should be arf with his eta movement swap and paint job on insert plus some adjustments and polishing

Yeah but look how completly different the numbers are looking? Compared to the other photos in this thread.

Check this:

It looks like yours and completly different than ARF because the cutouts on BP are smaller (on the insert ofcourse).
