Anyone know if arf has tungsten in the bracelet or just the extra links scam
ARF is solid tungsten. Not wrapped into 904L like QF / GMF does.

Means in long term there can be issues also there can be issues with extra plating gold.

Chazing Time says the surface of the watch is also tungsten. Not wrapped by 904L.
That’s strange, my modder told me it’s steel on the outside, he plated my Arf in yg and a different modder wrapped my thb in rg. Both without issue

Its so hard to find some straight information, everything's seem to be intransparent. I believe you, don't get me wrong.

So now we know for sure it's actually tungsten and not just extra links for arf bracelet?

Next is to confirm 904l steel on top of tungsten

I won't speak to if it's tungsten bracelet or not or whatever, we don't really know what these bracelets are made of, what I do know is that if I recall someone weighed out the links of the THB or something and they're like 1g heavier than the GMF or something. Don't quote me I need to find the thread about it.

Wow I can't believe it's this difficult to find out what is going on lol.

If it's tungsten with 904l wrap that would be amazing and an instant order.

I have been looking into this for the last few days and I have only gotten more confused
not sire which factory to go with and I want full gold plating. They say tungsten can peel the gold away but without tungsten the weight is incorrect.

Noob is coming also with a DD 40 tungsten, CY Factory also. No much information known yet.

Yes same for me. Most of TDs told me ARF can be plated, few said it can't be plated.
