ARF SD43 904L 126600 review (many pics)

Thanks guys I accepted the watch!
Maybe will change the datewheel or xtal some day when the date pisses me off a lot

Edit: Moving the dial counterclockwise will solve both problems: misalignment of the rehaut AND date sitting too high. After moving the dial the date should be in the middle.

The movement in that GM SD43 is hideous. All those glued on false wheels. What a pointless exercise!

What is better on the GM Factory model?
Got my timegraph on the ARF and the 2824 makes +/- 0 seconds per day. I am happy with it

Had my ARF SD43 for over a month and it's lost just 29 seconds. Love the watch, but Bezel assembly is poor (whole Bezel clicks from side to side and back and forth) and 904L bracelet is very flimsy, in fact the bracelet is the biggest tell. If anybody asked to try the watch on, it would be quite obvious that it's not a Gen bracelet. But hey, it cost me £350 so I'm not complaining.

Thanks to an amazing M2M sale with mrklocka, I've joined the SD43 club.

I'm very happy with it, I hope it will keep time well. It looks amazing, bracelet, clasp, bezel (even the clicks), dial, just everything looks perfect to me.
Now I can wait until the TD will finally source this Daytona and send me my Submariner and the Daytona...

Nice mate! But the dial sucks no round markers and markers to close at 12 instant tell on pictures but not on wrist.

Lol this forums favorite two word combo is “instant tell”.

Give me a break man...

But he is right, BP did rounded markers years ago they still make the best dials.

Yes but their lume is trash.
On some Noob Submariners V9 I have also seen rounded markers and even on the ARF Yachtmaster 37mm and ARF SubC the markers are better than on their SD43.

Very nice watch

 

[mnkoshka]

it looks like the crown guards have changed, they look chunkier than on some of the other ARF SD43 I've seen on here. I just received mine and noticed how much of the crown is being covered by the guards.
