ARF SD43 904L 126600 review (many pics)

[PsychoTee16]

I sent my SD43 to Prof and did a mod on the black hole cyclops AR for me, the blue hue is very obvious and all over the cyclops especially at bright areas. I agree a gen xtal will be nice but it's very hard to get it now especially the SD43 xtal the bevel is decent but not as 3D looking as gen but one thing i really love about the hands are the nicely polished and really shiny gen like "white gold hands"

Thats why you get the crystal without that stupid cyclops! I’m waiting for my crystal from Prof to be sent to Vac to be installed.

I’ve never liked the cyclops, so it had to come off!!

After dealing HEV and greasing the gasket as well as the crown I took the watch for a swim in the ocean.

Handled it well no bubbles no water inside. So its safer for shower and cleaning and also swimming.
However the stress of looking after the watch of not getting pumped up with water is too stressful and not worth it imo

I have an SD43 from ARF and I love it.
The only problem is the bezel.
The Bezel turns very lightly, even by soft touch to the clothing.
So always the pearl is off the 12 position.
How can I tighten the bezel that is stays in position unless I turn it by hand?

Regards Sambuca

You can improve the bezel action by increasing the spring load of the clicker spring.

Exactly the same on mine. And Bezel moves from side to side, clicking as it does - IF you touch the edge. So I just don't touch the edge ;-) Beautiful watch, just Bezel assembly is a bit disappointing.

I would like to send mine to do a sputter mod as well as mod the SELs to be more recessed. Anyone has a modder located in Asia to recommend me?

Hey guys curious about this bezel assembly... is it the four corner offset spring loaded ball bearing as gen and previous noob assembly or is it classic click spring construction?? Pics would be nice too. Thanks.

Will Yuki's eta sub hands fit into the sd43? Not sure is the sub and sd43 uses the same hands.
