So here is one of my QC pics. The dial is a MK1 dial, and the flat four bezel matches the dial year/layout.

Bad news is, you have to live with the low pearl, and the SELs are pretty much aligned with the lugs

below is a side by side with an RAF LN I got a couple of weeks ago

LN pearl is much better, LV pearl swap might be in order. The flat four and proper two are nice elements.

I have a gen pearl that I can swap over to the LV bezel, as long as the hole is not drilled to low :)

This picture gave me the ick. At least you know the watch is running at -7 s/d at a very irregular angle....

.... or they could just.... lay the watch flat with the crown resting on the microphone... as the instructions say.....

Anyway...

I never trust timegrapher numbers from the QC. It will likely change after a few weeks of transit bouncing around the warehouse & airplane. In the end, I can loan it to you and regulate it for me LOL

Here is a simple over look of the Kermit variations.

So the ARF is a copy of a mark 1 watch

As far as I know, there's also a correct ARF copy of a Mark VI (darker bezel, no engraving on rehaut, three short minute markers at the bottom.
