I thout that one is your GEN.

Look how close the right side bezel markers (20, 25, etc) are to the bezel. Not centered between the bezel and the crystal. Rolex isn't perfect but that's not gen. Also look at the squared off corners on the 6 and 9 markers. Gen markers have rounded corners.

Which TD are you ordered your ARF? I have not pulled the trigger yet, because the TD websites pictures still shows the sel not plated.

FYI. I think the bluesy is one of the most difficult task for any factory to copy due to colour combination of insert and dial and gold. I choose ARF because I can live with some mistake they made. Good news is I found that gold plated is somehow has better scratch resistant than my gen.

. Such a relief, to know that. I am going to pull a trigger on the ARF too. I am waiting for my bank to clear so I can make an order with Pure Time. I hope that the watch will come with both Sides of SELs plated, and correct gold color.

Good luck on your ARF bro. There is a gold leaf pen mod you can do on the SELs if you don't get the good bracelet. I've seen one done and it's an acceptable improvement. That space really is quite small, and the other link sides even less. We do what we gotta do...

Could you please share me the link for that PEN.

Here's a pic of the pen

Idea came from 2001025. Perhaps he would share some pics and tell us how it is lasting.

OK, I just submitted the bluesy order with Pure-Time! I will keep the thread updated so that we can compare. Unfortunately, I do not have any Gen to compare with, but I will try my best. I will take plenties of pictures, macro, micro, sides, SEls, and I may be able to take some photos under direct sunlight! Let us see the Blue and Gold Color!!!!!
