Thought I would add my ARF to the mix. It is such a great watch. Everything is completely interchangeable as gen. I’ve added a gen diamond bezel, gen refinished mop diamond dial, black hole crystal, had the bracelet rebrushed and dipped in ultra sonic, changed datewheel, services Yuki and made it a Hybrid with Gen parts. All the date mechanisms and some more. Runs fantastic and feels fantastic. Good luck with yours bro. It will look great.

I just purchased a gen daydate that looks almost exactly the same. Also has the diamond bezel and diamond dial in dark blue. I will post pics once I get it. Looks really beautiful. And I can’t decide on which Arf datejust I want to get :/ too many dials to choose from and then there’s the choice of oyster versus jubilee. The DD I got already has the president oyster bracelet so I might go for jubilee.

Nice Franken. Just received my Franken with GEN Crown, Dial, Datewheel. But I noticed my dates especially noticeable in the twenties are not aligned. Is the fixable?

IMO from experience, it all depends on the SH3135 movement because the SH3135 movement's dial feet holes aren't always drilled centred (which also causes the date disc to not centre within the dial's window because the dial is sitting wrongly)

Therefore, it is the fault of the movement (happens to my yuki 3135 as well, and when i mount my gen 16610 dial onto a SH3135)

Quick question guys - is it the 604 crown and 5033 tube for this case? Anyone know the code for the stem?

Hey guys, I take it a Gen bracelet wouldn't it be worth it? Would it fit?

Fantastic review, definitely going to pick up an ARF Datejust 36 as my first rep watch. I actually used to work at a Rolex AD, so It'll be exciting to finally have my hands on something similar to what I was selling!

Just share my experience about pfclones datewheel : my watchsmith tries to put it but it doesn’t fit, it’s a little bit too large, don’t know if it’s only mine ...

No I don't have a link, don't think it was specifically the datejust but someone tested one of the 904l ARF watches and it passed, case and bracelet
