By the way, about Jubilee Bracelet from ARF, has anyone ever tried it with Rolex sport 5 digits? I know Rolex Super Jubilee Bracelet Reference #63600, originally made for a DateJust 116234 can fit with many Rolex sport 5 digits

The DW seems to be pretty good and your coronet on the dial is not too high like many ARF dials.
Your really lucky on this rep

That date font is very good, very strange, as I’ve never seen one that’s not typical ARF/JF bold,ever.

But black and white date disc on a blue dial is incorrect.

I still Have some roulette Gen DWs and will reserve sale them or they will be listed next week on

Which TD did you buy it? I have contacted Puretime and they said the date hasn't been upgraded yet.

This is my first post in this forum, so i would like to say hello to all members!
I´ve read a lot about the Datejust 36 and its a shame, that the ARF DW is that bold. I cant go with this issue - and I notice, that many are thinking like this. But I am wondering, why everyone is so exited about the DJF and prefer this watch over the ARF. In my eyes, the date window and the cyclops is way to far on the right side, what is a super easy tell and a problem, that cannot be fixed by a gen DW or something. I can not understand, why the most members here don´t care about this. Maybe someone has an explenation for me? Maybe am I wrong?
Regards!

do you think that the new version of arf datejust 41 that is out in these days on puretime has still problems with the dw ?

The DJF isn’t very good IMO

When you have both the ARF and DJF in hand, you will take the ARF and it’s bold DW every time build quality is not the same.

It looks very nice. How is the blue dial compare to the gen? I saw that they are pretty close, aren't they? I want to ask because picture can't tell for sure.

So I just got the DJF silver 36mm for my fiance

Was in the biggest debate between ARF (which i love Dj41 and Daytona) vs DJF.

I went with DJF because of the font.

DJF is the real deal for those that can't stand the stupid ARF date font.

Feel is great, finish great, movement feels great to wind and play with.

Date doesn't change instant at midnight

But highly recommend DJF for those on the fence
