What do you see as being the priority if getting a clean DJ to franken?

The arf is too much hassle with the 2824, also had 2 of them. Like to see this one in hand

arf has a terrible dial, I personally compared it with gen, the blue color is strikingly different and you still need to change also the crystal, the clarity of the image and the date itself is better visible on the orig. I thought for a long time what to do, but the original dial costs about 800 euros, in the end I stopped wearing it, because you can run into the original somewhere at a meeting. So guys who can objectively compare the clean dial with the gen will be interesting to everyone. I also heard that vsf opened, but does not produce rolex yet, does anyone have info? They have a better dial than arf but still not gen

Alex, every rep isnt a 1:1 copy, there will always be flaws. only 0.001% of all people will notice you're wearing a replica while you hold it on the wrist. these guys are the specialist, and most of them are here on the forum. There are several people who will only notice if you compare them side by side.

The dial of ARF isn't that bad at all. it may not have the exact blue tones, but it has a nice sunburst.
what is easier to spot, is the lugs, or the white gold bezel, which arf produced as ss. (crystal and date wheel are the biggest tell)

I completely disagree, they made lugs and breeds on white gold surprisingly delightfully, but the dial is different and also because of the glass it is unclear. The date wheel doesn’t doesnt look at the distance, so it not a problem, but if there is a person with a gen will be in the company, the dial even at a distance is different, also the crystal is not so clean, the picture is worse visible than on the gen. I had a unique opportunity to compare them right next to it, so I write as it is. I have another rep, on arf dial and crystal is shit, thats wy a lot of people here changed it.

Anyone who wears replicas to convince people at meetings that it is a real watch and that they want to pretend wealth has a small penis in my eyes.

the whole topic of replicas and this forum is a big lie)

most people here have this replica as a hobby not to convince people at business meetings that they are a big shots with their Rolex, a lot of rep collectors don't even wear replicas outside, hey i don't even wear watches ever not matter genuine or fake and use to have at one point 3 genuine and 12 replica watches. looks like the lie here is only you lie to yourself.
oh and by the way the dial on the ARF is one of the best just change the crystal and the date wheel and you will have a replica perfectly safe to go to a meeting, paying 800 euro for the dial is a total waist of money.
