Thanks for the video! Is a gen date wheel a hard item to get? Also what do they go for? Thanks

easy to get, take a look at the parts sale section here, actually there is a guy selling 10 of them, I got mine from here. Took me 15min to swap the DW, and I‘m no Watchsmith

Omg beautiful with the gen datewheel. Now got to wait for mine to arrive. Arghh

Just wondering how is the alignment in vrf watches? Should be the same shouldnt it? If not, gen dw would be misalagned, right?

 

[Noleex]

You are right, that’s what I was thinking, it’s definitely the VRF datewheel that are off a bit. Could be that I had a bad one. Also the arf datewheel was better alighted.

 

[Noleex]

The ARF is the best out of box solution I think, with a little upgrade of the DW it’s still less than a noob. I think I should order another, so much buying requests on that one. Maybe I should build a ARF Batman ;-)

Thanks! Makes me really wanna buy the ARF... but for now I will go for a 5-digit GMT

 

[Saul Goodman]

Whish I would have bought the gen batman hand Set in the parts section in case the ARF batman hits the nail.

 

[Noleex]

The only problem with a ARF Batman build, I have no idea where to source a good insert, its almost impossible to find a gen one for a decent price.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Yeah i was hoping for arf to make a good one because the one on the vrf is really really bad

My ARF didn’t fit the gen datewheel, the spacing for it was too thin for the datewheel.

 

[Noleex]

do you have a GMT ARF with the SH3186 movement or is it the SH3135 v1 / v2 of a submariner or Datejust aso... ?

GMT ARF with 3186 movement. Bought a gen wheel for 3186 (not the 3135, though they're compatible).
