Will they ever make a black dial no date version?
Stop Motion No GIF by Mouse


Relative to the modern references there isn't much demand for 5 digits.

Would be great if they did though!

Can't you just source a gen 14060 dial and swap it? And for the movement, not sure if you can mod it to have only 2 positions but still that would be just a minor setback wouldn't it?

has new-ARF addressed the dial lume being different from the hands? or is it still yellow-ish?

I’m convinced ARF/RAF/Silian are all the same. I’ve had them all.
Would make things easier if they were but could have sworn the latest RAF / Sillan cgs look longer / pointier.

Not case, but they're definitely using different bezels as ARF takes gen insert where as RAF / Sillan is a smidgen smaller.

Fair, I’ve built probably 8 with Silian cases and zero issues. Just like you said, minor shaving on an insert.

Just did a build for someone and the Gen insert popped in with zero mods.

Top is my personal one, Mochacha dial & random low glow hands (to match dial & pip).

Bottom is Yuki dial & hands.

Both have gen inserts.

But base are ARF V2? And what movement’s?
I want to do a build ARF V2 and vs3135 movement and the same dial like the bottom one,but with a tiffany stamp,i have seen them for sale but not with 3135 feet.
