He won’t listen. Let him screw up his watch. ARF bezel numbers are near as dammit the same as real one. Many have said the same.

I want to have a check with you guys about Sead's QC pics, i read about Sead sending same QC pics to buyers when placing order for ARF SD43 126600. I'm just playing safe and want to be sure to get the watch that was shown to me.
Here are the pictures he sent me, can someone clarify is it the same pics he sent to everyone who bought from him?

Hey guys!
I recently received QC Pics for my 126600 and while the watch looks pretty stellar, there is one thing which is really bugging me - And I don‘t know if this is as per gen or a known mistake for the ARF or just the angle or if it is indeed a flaw.

The 2 of the 21 just looks soooooo crooked. But most of the pics I can find are with a 28 as date, so I don’t really know what the 21 is supposed to look like.
What do you think? Is this normal on the ARF? It is it like the movement engraving on my 111 V4 which looked bad under 100x magnification but is way too small to notice IRL? But this is my first Rolex and I am just worried that something like that, if indeed a problem, will be very noticeable due to the cyclops.....

Accept, looks good. Seems to have the newer updated bezel. And I can't even tell if the "2" is crooked.

Looks nice! Might have the wrong magnification, the numbers looks huge, could be the picture.

That is crazy if its true. You want to see your watch not a golden sample.

Alright, thanks a lot to all of you! I am pretty happy with the bezel too and I think the magnification is good as well, Judging from the other pictures - But wrong magnification seems to be a problem even with gens...That‘s also the reason I don‘t even really care about the rehaut (Not Perfect, but definitely good enough and there are gens far worse)
Really looking forward to getting it, a >40mm Rolex is just Perfect

Gens NEVER had bigger magnification than 2.5x ever before. There was a run around 2015 when they were under magnified. Never have they been over magnified ever. Its an instant tell
Neuf Apparently, we can easy fix ourself the little misaligned rehaut, it should be simple, this is what some members have said:
"remove the backside then unsrew the movement (but only slightly) then move the movement with the dial a little bit, in time setting position when you align and screw it back it and the problem is fixed".
I will try to do it when i receive mine too, i hope it works.
If anyone has any suggestions for making it (or a link with a video). In the meantime it's really nice to find people who likes to help, thank you all ;-)

this getting ridiclious nobody ever see that "flaw" because the rep crystal sucks anyway if someone who knows watches they will spot it anyway even with the right magnifiction. Accept the watch.
Edit: Talking about the magnifition not the rehaut.

I think its strange that watches coming to the TD:s the same week, but with different magnification.
Some people have different tolerances for flaws. I'd rather have the correct mag than have the rehault aligned perfectly. Some ppl are anal about bezel play and the sharpness of the bezel. Each to their own. If I can see a watch and I can immediately tell from the datewheel that there is something wrong that is not something I can accept. Especially for something so easy to fix by the makers.
When you've handled enough gen rolex's and own more than 8 gens that is a very very easy tell.
Guys I am about to pull the trigger BUT isn‘t on the second picture the rehaut engraving too high? I thought it has to be in the middle

I know but we are talking about replicas if you switch one like that which looks very good and get one which is even more crappy then you have the Problem. Just switch the crystal. Every one who knows Gen crystals can spot a rep.
