What's up with the listing on Puretime's site 126660 AR+F with the VR3235 movement.
It says its 44mm but it comes with a 116660 case, 126660 dial, 28210 (21mm old ARF Z6Y bracelet) instead of 28220 (22mm ARF newer T1U bracelet).

Very odd... or am I wrong?

AR+F is not ARF, they are different. AR+F is a new maker...

There is no "correct" blue fade, as it's (1) impossible to determine the intensity from photos alone and (2) because there's no real-life Cameron to compare it with. It's a leap of faith, either way, and once it's on the wrist, this becomes a non-issue.

Photo shows ARF 126660 next to 116660 in my watch box. Yes, the 116660 dial is a bit more intense, but unless you wear both watches together on the same wrist, nobody will ever know which one is more "correct." I also don't think 1mm bigger links on the "12" have any meaningful impact on how the watch wears and how it feels on the wrist.

Heck, in that pic the right watch has more light on the dial, the left looks just shaded, they could be identical in the real world and look totally different in this pic. Just look at the color of the metal bracelets: they are significantly different, as is their highlights

Yes it is, but it's way to light on the ARF 116660. I compared it with the gen.

@SS72

that's an old circa 2019 BP from:


I think you are on the right track on the ARF2 balancing up all factors like CG shape (which you prev explained to me) rehaut, dial fade etc etc

There's also a new factory APF listed on puretime. Any experience with that?
