I don't think you can go wrong with either, but my personal choice would be the CF due to the movement. The DD3285 is a beast! The only draw back , unless they've fixed it, is the clean bezel has a ton of silicone grease under it, making it less "clicky" when you turn it. It's an easy fix, but not fun if you're not familiar with the parts. There are tutorials on here on how to clean it up. No pun intended. Who knows, you may get the best one and not need to do a thing.

If you daily drive the watch. The DD3285 is worth all the trouble. If not ARF is a better unmodded watch.

Is v3 same as v2s, the first version that has a turning red bezel under uv light? I dont know whats versions mine..but i know its the first version that has turning red bezel under uv
No. V3 and v2s refer to color.

After v2 all bezel will have UV color change. V2, V2S, V3, V3S

Disclaimer: I know we don’t do QCs here but I’m having specific questions for one specific pic of an ARF Pepsi.

1) is the bezel triangle slightly canted CCW? In my eyes it is slightly but I would appreciate any other opinion
2) is the date wheel more on the left side? I cannot be sure as the date is 30 and not a single number.


Thanks in advance guys!
