great job by CF, I find the blue dial tending to purple with light changes, good insert but still far from the gen, a simple problem that they can solve with little is to make it flat and not inclined, I don't know why they continue with this form. I remain happy owner of my ARF clone 3135

The problem with ARF is case shape, completely different shape and the finish is a DHgate level. Soft and rounded instead of sharp.

Brand new arrival… looks sick OOTB. Probably a keeper for awhile, this one. Everything looks crisp and irl the stock crystal is frankly not the worst. Previous CF xtals were way worse. This is satisfactory for the time being until OCD kicks in and I need an upgrade, hahaha.

That's a beauty right there! Thanks for posting the pic, always nicer to see real photos than those from a TD.

Clean brings the first Yachtmaster model that also has a crown guard like the Gen.

Looks even better in member photos. The debate I'm having with myself is which dial to get.

126655 RG released, 3 videos on it:




Personally I think they messed up on the RG which I thought they would do good on. It's still much too bronze instead of the light pink on gen.
Thans for letting us know. Is there anyone who can translate.

Gen RG YM40

They didn't do well with the plating color here.

Unfortunately most of the RG and YG reps are a darker shade than gen. Best bet is to get it plated to look nearly identical as gen.

Well, picture lights plays on the final gold hue, but as said above rep platings may always need a replating to be spot on.

Beside that and on an optimist side this QC sample looks really nice to my eyes. Tempting...

I linked three videos and in all of them they're bronze/copper. It's more than just lighting I'm afraid.

Yep you're right. It seems replating will be part of the game.
A bit frustrating but for those considering this mod, it may be a very nice RG Yachtmaster in the end.
