New AR+ Factory GMTs

[kennygconspiracy]

Looks like ARF may be back as AR+ F. This is definitely a very exciting time to be in the game. Looking forward to more information as it comes and as folks get their watches on hand. I'll be ordering these to review as well to add to the awesome compendium here!

These look pretty good, nice to see ARF abandoning the awful SH3186. Their strengths have been bezels (watch out CLEAN), dials and hands. Weaknesses have been shock white lume and bad datewheels, the latter should no longer be a factor with the VR movement. I might try a 116710 black insert on jubilee. Got some different dials needing a new home. Woohoo!

That Pepsi insert is just amazing

Update: ordered through Eric at Geektime (TD on Reptime/RWG) and awaiting QC. Will share them as I get them.

If ARF are back it’s great news.

These guys were game changers back in 17/18 when they launched their Daytona, SD43 and Submariner. Each had their own flaws, but they were miles ahead of Noob. They were the first factory to fix the dark numbers on the bezel, use 904, and still make the best bits on a CF watch.

Then they dropped the ball and became inconsistent with terrible crystals and blocky date wheels.

I think they fixed the shock white lume on their recent releases, not 100% sure - something to look out for @kennygconspiracy


LN on jubilee - is that even a thing though?

Who says this is actually arf though?

Look promising and the quality is very good in pics.

The fitment of those SELs and the SEL angles vs my gen Batman just literally made me want to throw up.

Seeing QC pics is one thing. But nothing beats on the wrist reviews. Waiting to hear personal reviews specifically regarding the bezel colors, bezel action and dial accuracy to gen and other reps. Hopefully the turnover is quick.

As I understand, AR factory bracelet and Clean Factory bezel are used. I highly doubt it's the old ARF. Here I send you some photos

Its in the link - AR / ARF

So definitely not just some random producer trying to cash in on a previously established factory name then? Because it works. I get the distinct feeling they try a new name like joker or king or c+ or ar+ until we take the bait.

Looking at the post above yours, it's looking like a scam - those are not ARF stickers on the bracelet and case back.

And the cyclops is piss.

Why does everyone think this is ARF in the first place. Just looks like another rebadged CF to me.

LN on jubilee is pretty darn awesome, I think it will be a fun configuration, even if not common in gen (although people do swap around!)
