Just Received my 2nd QC for the YM. Watch looks good overall. I was just wondering if this is a dirt or a dent on the insert before giving it a GL. Thanks guys

The best thing is to ask the TD to give it a wipe and send you some more pics.

Is that an ARF?

Yep, unfortunately its a little hole confirmed by Lana. This is the second YM I RL'd.

And yes, its ARF bro. Was wondering if these new QCs from factories are the previously RL'd ones before since factories are still opening due to the raids.

I was lucky, it might look like Tomrep mod but instead it's 100% stock

Which movement does your watch have? ETA or 3135?

I ask cause trusty's video for the eta has the crappy bezel insert. the 3135 movement video has a very nice bezel that does not need tomrep.

I am curious if it's only on the 3135, or if they updated the previous model as well.

You can see the difference in the bezel inserts between the two ARFs so there is an update for sure. The question is did this update apply to the 2824 movement as well or just the 3135?

Mine is a 2824. Sead currently has another one on his page, send him an email and he will send you a lot of pics. :)

Unfortunately it's the rhodium and my TD is telling me that the YM is out of stock for 2 months? :confused:

Good to know the ETA has it too though. Hopefully all of them is like them now and it's not random.

From what I have been able to see, it seems to me that bezels are sometimes good and sometimes not. Maybe they have to dispose of the old productions

The bezel looks really nice, with this angle seems like a TomRep mod is not needed. Is the second hand color co-ordinated properly with the dial text color (seems different to me in this pic, maybe it's the angle)

Hello everybody.
I have read some reviews but have not found a definitive solution.
With a view to making a Franken 116622, which case with bracelet do you recommend?
Thank you
