So the arf is better than the v9?

This isn’t the ARF sub thread... it’s the SD43

 

[Bigred7078]

Yep, its the improved bezel
Go for it !

Looks pointy to me...

you will not be disappointed... i think the only few things that arf should improve on this watch are the bezel teeth, the 2 engraved on the bezel and the HEV that is a bit rounded.. after all these things it will become the new super rep.

I just got an email from Edward at puretime today that the maker has just released the new batch. So we should be receiving our QC pictures within the day.

Fingers crossed that the new batches will be as good or better than the last batch.

Batches are nothing to do with improvement - so don't expect any change (none needed to be honest). The factory makes a bunch and then sends them to market. The new ARF sub is on batch 3 already and folks only started receiving theirs over the weekend.

Received my QC last week, replied back and since then haven't heard back from my TD. Drives me crazy!!!

It looks like the rehaut crown alignment is way off center.

Is this a v1 I can't tell from that bezel?

Dear admins,
​​​​​​
I've just noticed that I have dual accounts again.

This was a legacy issue that was leftover from back when the system was down from the hack.

It appears my tapatalk is still using the old account while my web browser uses my fillintheblank address.

Could someone help me delete the Two-tone crony account as in the above post.

Sorry to post this here but I don't remember where to post this at and I want to solve this before I get in trouble for having two accounts.

Best regards,
Fillintheblank

knol the crown rehaut is halfway between the 59 minute marker and the midnight marker.

Is it normal for alignment of the rehaut crown to be off by this much in the V2?

can happen to any watch. Its an easy fix though

 

[knol]

Whatever.
There is no consistency on that part - some are sharper than others.
I'd find a bunch of examples but it's sunny outside.
and that's a special thing in the U.K.

please do post some pics, i (and many others i think as well) am really interested to know if there are variations in the bezel teeth

v1

 

[fillintheblank]

Silvester are you sure it's a V1 I didn't think puretime would send a V1 if we ordered a V2, especially considering I must've ordered at least 10x from them in the past... But, then again the reason I asked was because I had heard many V1's had the rehaut alignment problem and this made me suspicious.

What other signs are there that indicate this is a v1?

I'm asking so that I can know what to look for during the next QC.

pointy bezel

Puretime is refusing to let me ask for another watch.

They said that all of their watches and these watches have misaligned rehaut.

Has this been the case with other buyers?

I didn't know this was a common issue.
