You must not have followed the post from the beginning, so I'll give you a pass for telling me what I don't have grounds to do with my money.

​​​​​​But the original comment was there is a cosmetic defect with the watch, which they refused to acknowledge and eventually led to my higher scrutiny of other possible shortcomings in the watch..

The point of QC is for us to let our trusted dealers know what we don't accept, then enter a dialog about whether or not there can be anything done to align on the next best actions. Not for them for them to say here's a watch you're going to get what we give you. Otherwise what's the point of QC?

You'll give me a pass huh? Ok, thanks!

It could be v2... let me explain.

V1 = V1
V2 =updated datewheel (check the 28) + new style rotor
V2.1 / V3 = updated bezel teeth

I think you are looking for the updated bezel version?

I don’t believe that is correct but someone else can chime in.

-There was the original V1 and then an updated V1 w/ improved date wheel.

-V2 was the signed rotor and improved bezel engraving depth.

-This latest version is still a V2 but they slightly updated the bezel teeth.

I have a question about the serial numbers on this watch, are they random and different for every watch or does ARF use only a few different serial numbers.

One question...
Why on this sd43 arf there are two hole for the bezel anti-rotation clockwise?
980d10b3b4f34acf3777aae58c74f37a.jpg

I disassembled it for brushing case and bracelet and i noticed this!
Same sistem as gen but i don't know why two holes instead only one...i have only one spring and one nut for the anti-rotation clockwise sistem.
Anyone know it?

Mine is a V1 and has got 8 holes! So 4 holes have been unused. I think this is a machining flaw during production.
