arrived but is not compatible with my ARF. ARF caseback thread has an external diameter of 30.85 mm, wider than the gen unfortunately

I am now on my fourth QC, as the customs authorities have unfortunately taken my order.
@Dizzy
could you take a quick look at it and tell me whether it's the right VR / hybrid or SH? thank you very much !!!
I will take it anyway, the whole ordering process has already taken three months and I can now wait another 3-4 weeks for shipping. can hardly wait, the joy is too great

My first ever rep order (ARF16610) also took like 3 months. Now my latest order was 30 hours from European seller and his prices are also a bit cheaper then from the Chinese TD's. I'm never ordering these watches from China and hassle with the QC process and the long waiting time again.
Thats really unfortunate. Thank you for the update though. Is the case back slimmer than the arf stock one?

yes yes definitely thinner. in my opinion it should be fit on the BP (if it has gen spec measurements)
I believe it’s safe to say here, because Nick is a member and a trusted watch smith/modder here. So his watchstore via Telegram contact.
Don’t you dare encourage me like this !! I was debating this with myself last night

They are a must have in any REP collection. Blue for daytime and black for night. Equally versatile all year around. I wore my blue this Saturday for some daytime drinking. Needless to say everyone was checking out my wrist action! Gold baby!

It’s not really necessary for 18LB imho! Having handled the the GEN they are only 160grams vs REP 140+ grams. No need to have them top heavy. Kinda hard to tell the difference. GEN gold is a bit “warmer” but not easy to see on the wrist.

This is exactly what I was looking for to help. Definitely want that LB more now!

I tried on the GEN a few weeks back, a 93/94 mod full gold with lug holes. GEN vs REP weight is almost indistinguishable.

Now that the thread has been running a little while, those who have applied the protector stickers to your TT or gold BP, how have they been holding up? Any winners or losers out of the sticker options?
Finally bit the bullet and paid for a 16613LB with Trusty to get the 3135 movement configuration instead of buying on DH, but may still upgrade on arrival to the VS movement when I switch in that thinner Raffles case back.
