No mate, since bracelets from the factory are generally pretty cruddy, feel harsh, and have scratchy link movement, you can put it inside baby oil for a few hours; the wash it with soap. You'll get impressed with the result, very gen like feeling.
Wrist shots from my New Noob Daytona.
Very happy with it. Next week it Will go for a full service to my watchsmith

Does it need a service? Or is it running fine? Also when did you order and what was the turn around time?
Thanks!

It's running fine, but still I prefer a service to be sure it has quaility oils and no dust. Also for water resistancy.
It took several weeks to come

Oh yes I am in Melbourne, I have the arf daytona and i just got it silenced. The guide I was referring to was posted my one of our supporting vendors slaughter62
I am currently testing a watchsmith who is sorting out my sub C by arf. Let's see once he sorts that out

It look v2 to me. I think all the new batch have out-centre dial printed marker (mine is the same). If you look the printed markers, you'll notice that on the left almost touch the rehaut, but not on the right. I'll seap the dial asap with an ARF one.

I'm currently in Brisbane, but most likely moving to melbourne in 2 months if i get the new job. Please let me know how you go with your watch repairer.
Not exactly; this observation has to do with the alignment of the movement inside the case and, to a lesser extent, the alignment of the dial on the movement.
Easiest way to identify V2 is to take a look at the text on the dial. Bolder = V2, light and less bold = V1.

Good to meet another brisbane enthusiast. Please let me know too if you have found a rep friendly watch smith too. I'm having no luck here at all.

I'm on to one guy in brisbane who restores vintage watches and is a watch smith but I'm not sure if he's rep friendly. He has an eBay site selling many rolex and other swiss parts/watches. I'm out of Australia atm but this is his eBay site shop. You could msg him or see whether he can help. He also custom builds watches. I'll contact him when I'm back.
