Did you get the box separate or from a TD? I've kept all the boxes to my gen watches (nothing high-tier lol) and I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the V2 as my first rep. Thanks a bunch!

Hello RGI friends!
Been following the forum for some time,just registered .
After reading all the wonderful reviews,I decided to treat myself with one of these babies.
Can you guys help me out with my QC?
How does it looks? DW,cyclops,bezel?
One thing I’ve noticed,Seems that the LEC is slightly off.
Im having trouble posting the pics,so here’s a photobucket link to the album:

The TD will sort you out if you need box & papers. Very few asks for this so its on request. Intime will provide.

I thought this box was gen. Does the new rolex box exist as a rep? Looks very nice.

They are all over eBay and any TD can get it.

I just discovered that BP produces a very nice dial for this watch.
The markers are rounded and nearer to gen. Their sub dials are great too.
The only thing that is crap is their lume. It is way worse than ARF or Noob lume. Doesn‘t shine as bright and doesn‘t last so long.

I took a screenshot from a video of the BP Sea Dweller.
Look at the 12 o‘clock triangle marker and how it sits perfectly lower than the triangle on the ARF dial.
Also the rounded edges look great:

Edit: ah no its a different one

BP only dial is good the rest is not so good.

Try from a TD when you order your next watch. Did it break from removing the bezel?

Great thread, starting to appreciate ARF the more I see. Also great to know they make good APs also? Anyway I'm just wondering...

Is JF and ARF the same factory? Only asking because OP made reference to it. Thanks!
