+Gen date disc
+ VR3135 movement (not sure yet)

Sounds like a reasonable plan! But afaik the movement should already be some kind of vr3135 from arf.… edit

No, non TD over a friend.Just checking to clarify these were from Intime?
Nope, but will open it up as soon as it arrives. Dw and timegrapher looks good imo.@vince23 Any evidence on which kind of 3135 rep movement ticks inside? (The timegrapher looks promising)
Almost wondering with these delays are they creating these iterations to fulfill a sudden frenzy in demand.![]()
I have to agree with the general sentiment. Was super excited at first. Now, the more evidence pops up, the more it seems this is a bit like a slot machine: you pull the lever and have no idea what spec and quality LV rep will show
Ok guys - I think I actually got ARF. Or whatever the f*** this new release is lol.

That's about what I did to my RAF. The VSF 116610 crystal really makes it pop on my opinion. VS crystal, movement and crown in mine.… edit

RAF had two different bezel colors for the LV as well, the darker color is the V2 and the lighter is the V1. I have both bezels. On the other hand the crown of your ARF does appear to screw down tighter to the case. I imagine this is some of kind mix of RAF/ARF parts. Did you check what kind of movement is in your watch?
I will check it once it reaches me.RAF had two different bezel colors for the LV as well, the darker color is the V2 and the lighter is the V1. I have both bezels.

Sure is. The question is always: is this a lucky specimen of a shitty movement, or an average specimen of a great movement?290 amp is pretty darn good.
What about a great specimen of a great movement?!Sure is. The question is always: is this a lucky specimen of a shitty movement, or an average specimen of a great movement?![]()
In the end, the key question is: If I buy 100 of these, how many will show similar specs to your QC?What about a great specimen of a great movement?!![]()
