Red lighted. The drunk font would drive me insane. SEL fit can be taken care of with spring bars and a little work. But the font....yuck

Reminds me of a BP CHNR lmao

Oh man, hope you get a better piece. Besides the SEL and font, it does look pretty good

Was it really? Did'nt seem obvious to me, the blue square is'nt straight with the above font. But hey, you need to be confortable with your buy, reject it is then!
Can't wait to see the next one then.

Thanks brother :)

Every RL is a toss of the dice. I hope anyone else that ordered gets a great piece too! The dial looks better than the ZZF by miles (sans the wonky font on this one). The rounded hour markers are the closest I have seen to gen ever. And I have had a lot of frankens and gen dials on hand.

Very strong contender. And the movement is easy for me to service.

Aye, I zoomed in on the video he sent as well to confirm. Classic drunken font lmao. I had an amazing BP CHNR with nearly perfect QC but sold it because every time I looked down that drunken font laughed at me :picard:

And aye, everyone has a different aspect they look for. Some folks roll in their sleep for proper SEL fitment. Others see a bad rehaut engraving and faint. Me, I love great dials!

Thanks Sullivan, I'll be posting the next one when Eric sends it.

Happy to be the first guinea pig here. Oink.

Font looks level to me, it’s your box that isn’t bud! Also you are blowing up a low res image which can easily distort fonts.

You will not fix the sel with spring bars as the issue on all the images of this rxf I’ve seen are dimensional problems in that the sel is too narrow for the lug width or the lug opening has been machined slightly too large for the end link.
When someone gets one delivered hopefully they will have a calliper to measure the lug and sel sizes.

From a high resolution video. Regardless of angle the font is wonky mate. I think it needs to be something folks should look out for when ordering, that's my $0.02.

But about the SEL's, ZZF is also a gamble on that matter, so let's see if a good one for RXF pops up :) I'll measure mine when I get it.

RXF side has informed that they are actually a team from XF Factory that specialises in Rolex models.
They are planning to release more models in the future and this is just the start.

Andrew, I'm not questioning your credentials but rather trying to know for sure which factory it is.

You're stating that it's the Rolex team from XF Factory.

There's another TD u/GeekTime who's been doing a great job on Reddit /RepTime which I don't question his credentials either, and he's saying that XRF is a fusion between VSF and KWF working together.

Which information is accurate?

Based on common sense and simple analogy, it makes sense it's Rolex team from XF Factory thus the "RXF" shortcut.

Why would one state that it is VSF and KFW though?

F, I, A, R and T's are smaller, hence the term "Drunk font" albeit something nobody else would notice but the owner of the wrist, 20/20 eyesight, a lil tad of OCD and the watch ;)

I appreciate the detailed, insightful input ;)

Perhaps it's the lighting or wrist/bracelet position as well.

I am not sure how KWF came into the picture, but VSF and XF are sister factories.

RXF is sub factory from VSF/XF which will be specialising in Rolex models only.

So you can say RXF, VSF and XF are related, but they are different teams and factories.

Thanks

Looking good but the blue tint remind me 5 year ago the problem of blue cyclop on Noob V5.

Now they claim the blue tint is gen like and before it was a instant tell for all.

I don’t know what to think. The blue tint is too much visible on RXF

Yep can someone with more know how explain this. Gens have it big time as well but seems newer models only. Maybe it was a tell 5 years ago as it wasn’t on gens at that time but newer ones are blue.

I have a 2019 gen and it does have blue shaded AR. Can't say if it's more or less than this one, but the idea that reps have blue Cyclops and gen have it transparent is wrong
