Datejust 36 - DJF vs ARF?

[Tacotuesday]

Hi can i just ask whether the silver or blue color is closer to the genuine one? plan on getting one myself but i am stuck between these 2 colors. thanks alot

No idea to be honest. I don't think anyone on here has the blue in hand yet.


I can assume silver is closer because blue is harder to replicate.

So I just got the qc pics Faster than expected. They look good but I asked for a close up pic on the dial with a different date, as well as a time graph pic.

Markers looked a little off but it very could just be the angle the watch was sitting on the table at.

Also if anyone is interested.

Figures this drops the day I get my qc for the 36. That being said I don't know if I'd be a fan of the 41. Outside of my seiko turtle I like to keep my watches under 40mm.

I tried on a gen 41mm, it has such a massive wrist presence. I wouldn't go for it. I'd love to see your QC pics, would you mind sending in private?

Not a problem. I will when I get to a computer in a bit

Really interested in hearing your thoughts after your DJF arrives - I want a silver Datejust for my next rep and just assumed ARF would be the best, but based on this thread I'm not sure anymore!

I would say ARF is probably better. But you have to pay twice as much as the Djf.

Looks great to me. Cant wait to receive it.

Beautiful! I am waiting for DJF to have the jubilee bracelet ready. I have been wanting a datejust for a while, but didn’t want the 3135 movement.

I'm debating just ordering one from ARF. Been looking for confirmation that it will fit well before pulling the trigger.

I am thinking to do the same... I have searched everywhere but haven't found an answer yet...
The DJF DJ with the ARF jubilee bracelet will be looking awesome!!

Guys the ARF jubilee will fit perfectly the DJF. Why wouldn't it? It's the same 20mm lug width, no reason it wouldn't. I am gonna surely buy one

There's always the possibility that the spring bar hole placement is a mm off or so. That would result in the bracelet not fitting.

Seems like they are spitting out new versions every day.. Can see they released a "V3" now. No idea about the differences though.

Who, ARF? Where is the V3?

Nah DJF.. I dunno, Tswatch lists the latest silver as V3, KS watches here in the forum lists as V2. I don't even think the dealers properly know what versions of DJF are out there lol.

I'm still hesitant to pull the trigger due to the factories QC. Look at this one:
https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...-silver-dial-on-904l-ss-oyster-bracelet-a2824

Dial is misaligned and is even bubbling up top as if it has been force-pressed against the rehaut. The rest looks good but it's just this kind of stuff.. The bent pin in the bracelet from this threads guy. God.. I dunno.

I just looked at the QC from your piece and it looks pretty darn good. Really looking forward to hearing back from you once it lands!

Me too. I get just as excited over some reps as I do for gens. This one is supposed to ship today so hopefully I'll get it Friday/Saturday.
