NEW ARF DATE JUST 36
- Thread starter rolexfiend
- Start date
Hallo! I have a question: on intime arf date just I see a kind of qr code on the case. On the pure time date just it isn’t the same. Why?

Roulette date disc is not the best indicator for authenticating because a gen roulette date disc can be easily installed (and most likely to be installed to fix the stock crappy date disc) into an ARF datejust. Whereas the seconds hand is very likely to be overlooked by franken/modders, and the rehaut engraving cant really be improved (unless it is sanded).
There is variation in AD stock - some of the gen silver dial datejust can come with roulette date disc and some don't I believe. I tend to see silver dial datejust without roulette wheel
It's just a plastic protective sticker with a QR code to mimic a brand new gen.. then the sticker has been peeled-off for the puretime one.
I.e. it's just a plastic protective sticker with qr code.. it won't matter if the gen or rep has it or not because you will peel off the plastic protective sticker when you wear the watch
Nonono it's ok, language barrier lol
E.g. Here is a picture of a brand new gen 116610 with protective qr code sticker still on
Here is a 116610 with that protective QR code sticker peeled off when the watch is worn

Some more minor but definite tells:
1. The crown is recessed into the case, although it is only barely visible on the comparison picture it is clearly visible from a different angle (casebackview or frontshot)
Plus rep crown looks a bit fatter and the "flutes" are a little thicker and rougher
Gen
Rep
2. The ARF dial stick markers have a small space between them and the railroadtrack printing plus they arent as finely machined as gen. On gen it looks like the stick markers are nearly touching the track.
Gen
Imo all the tells are rather minor and the aef datejust is almost a super rep except for the movement
Nearly all of these tells can be removed by genuine parts and a bit of modding.
I am planning on frankening an ARF datejust with a concentric dial and swiss eta (even though thats a headache its worth it)
Waiting mine for 2 weeks.
Saturday, Intime told me that I should wait for 6 days more.

back from my trip to rep-mail!
The ARF is absolutely gorgeous out of the box! Catching up on work then I'm gonna have a proper look. Still waiting on my gen date wheel then off to be built and serviced...
