this might be a model that QF outsells Clean in....

I want to buy an "I" ;-)

Only if clean doesn't introduce their own will this outsell them. I don't see it being a high volume seller regardless.

 

[Reaps]

It depends on what they want for it. If it's the same price as Clean I'm against it - a SL 4801 movement isn't worth that much

 

[Hasselbaink]

don't see the sunburst on the dial

Seem that they've just released it in a rush to take advantage of the hype and the market gap with Clean

 

[KJ2020]

The rotor color is brassy, I wonder if it's even plated or just bare and weighted.

Gen is solid gold ofc

 

[Kutan]

Wouldn't give a shit about an I tbh

 

[Hasselbaink]

this version looks very cheap imo
its an instant tell both the dial, those subdial hands, the bezel colour, painting at 100
mvm overall look, missing letter and the rotor pointed out by KJ
we shall not be in that hype-hurry to jump in it for expected 800+ bucks lol

 

[Dutlin]

Close but no cigar. Excited to see someone take the first leap though. Will be one of the next purchases once they get a better rep.

According to my dealer its not that top version

And its price = 700$

I think clean version coming next in around 1-2 month/s
So if you're in rush for the trend just wait for the best

Do you know, if this is a "heavy weight" or "tungsten" version? Otherwise 700 USD would be ridiculous.

The weight is also the reason why I don't have high hopes for a really good version of Clean - the guys at Clean haven't had any experience with tungsten so far.

Subscribed and hoping for a better version soon.

I was close to getting the black 126519ln, but didn't have time to make the order.

I personally don't see any glaring issues and hear conflicting views as usual. Some say its crap from photos for undisclosed reasons, some say they got the watch and its great.

Pass, let them have it.

QF's biggest issue, aside from some QC issues (such as their 116x Daytona having horrible pusher tolerance) is that their details are not as fine as Clean, yet they charge Clean prices.

The 126x Daytona from QF is particularly egregious because it charges a Clean price for a non clone SL-4801 movement. It has a unidirectional rotor. For christ sake it has a fake deco plate with a fake "half gear" lmao and they want Clean prices for it....

AR+F 4131 Movement Tear Down

Thanks for @CTbeforeLP for sending me his brand new AR+F 126500 Daytona so that I could do a tear down on the movement. This is going to be a massive (and somewhat disorganized photo dump). Sorry, it's late and I've been taking photo under the microscope for way too long to edit these and...

If they slashed price by 20% and charged $650 like the ZF Daytona then I'm all for it. Or if they charged $700 for a tungsten variant.

But otherwise nah. It ain't worth it. Wait a few months for Clean's version.

 

[monkeypie]

I love you Reaps. This is the second time you've enlightened me.

But as you said, I will wait for Clean's version.

the moment I see QF I just disregard it lol
