May I buy the bits you are removing? I’d like to put it in my TC which is currently in need of a movement.

Sure. PM me. Where are you located?

Super excited for you guys! The sooner you guys post them once received, the sooner I put in an order for one

 

[Sundek]

this is my guys
can't wait to receive it
very excited
finally my first 5 digits
I just wonder if it's normal for the winding crown not to hit the case

 

[Sundek]

I just don't know if it's normal for the winding crown not to hit the case

It’s probably not screwed in all the way. Just ask Hont to check.

That crown is screwed down hard look at inside of crown on second pic. There is space around the gen crown but the shape of the rep crown may be more sloped on back

hi, yes, in fact, I asked him and I'm waiting for his answer anyway guys in the end it's an ARF

[Saggiolus]

what about that AR sticker ? ahah it's officially an ARF at this point.

 

[Saggiolus]

isn't that lumen a little too blue ?

 

[Sundek]

but no I wouldn't say

Yes officially it is arf when i ordered it hont always called it arf even though i sent him the intime link where it is called RAF

It’s normal.

So what happened to RAF? Marketing BS. If it was ARF all along we wouldn’t be as interested, this is not a new watch or factory, it’s the same old ARF we’ve had for years, nothing new to see here, move along.
