Datejust 36 - DJF vs ARF?

[Mrlorax18]

I think they lite have two versions one cheaper then the others as some tds have qc pics with out the 904l stickers on but some do this is weird i think that its troubling to see

has anyone receive an ARF v2 36mm in the meantime? Seems like there is a bottle neck on the factory side...

Maybe. I've only used Puretime and Intime. Intime has it for $350 and labeled as 904L while Puretime has it for $388 and labled 316L. Either way I wouldn't expect 904L on this one.

Someone posted some pics of the blue on on this thread somewhere. I thought about it but want to wait for more pics and reviews first.

Sorry but I have the impression that on DJF datejust(expecially on blue and silver) the date window is completely in a wrong position... it seems too right compared to the Rolex position, about 1mm. I’d like to place a standard crystal and see if the cyclope aligns, but the windows seems almost in an ETA position, it mustn’t touch the minutes printing!

It doesn't.. That's a cyclops mate, it has magnification. It's like looking in a binocular.

Look close to the right part of the date window on the gen... and check if for you the date window on the dial has the same position.. to my eyes it seems enormously right!! Look closely please

Better angles here for you:

I still see a great difference between gen and djf... it seems that the distance from the center of the dial to the window is ok, but the distance between window and minutes track printing is too small... maybe because the dial is a little smaller in diameter, or the dial window-datewheel-crystal are different from gen! Please check if now you can see the difference ! On intime there also are some djf that have not that flaw, diamond dials and textured dials for example!

It would be very interesting to have in hands one of these djf and disassembly it to check every doubt

I'd be so down for one of these in Silver with Jubilee bracelet when they start making them (female here)

Agree on this. When the picture of the DJF came out, I knew that there was something wrong in the cyclop area...

I don't see the issue tbh?

Same here.

There is roughly 1½ distance of "railwidth" between the rail and window on both of these watches - disregarding awkward angles and quick photoshop

There is an eta 2836 inside the DJF and 3135 clone in the ARF maybe the windows are different I do see what the member is saying although in hand probably not too noticeable. There’s a thread over on the geek about these and they look great out the box just to wear. Will be reliable too

That's ARF which I've seen. Interested in the DJF version.
