Asking out of ignorance here - is CSF even a known/reputable factory? Very interesting to know theres’ another potentially good 126522 rep around…
They're either completely new or an old factory looking to rebrand themselves. I've done some digging but really struggle to find much info on them.

The only QC examples I've found posted from CSF have been of Sea-Dwellers and a ladies DJ. None of them were compelling and it didn't look like CSF had managed to improve on anything vs. what other factories already supply.

There are also some CSF promo images showing random, unique AP Offshore models.

I'm a bit surprised Jtime pushes them so hard (claims their YMs are superior to ARF). Time will tell.

sybariten As you very well stated: time will tell…

I will personally hold off from CSF till I see some hands-on experience from trusted forum member.

I am close now to securing an ARF with 3135 case - any ideas on which are the known ´flaws´ of this specific case? I’m still planning to go franken with gen crystal, dial, hands, crown, but curious about how the case stacks when compared to gen.

BPlayer Yeah, my bad. You're right indeed. Realized after posting that was the case. I'm thinking about giving a try at some point to the white gold one, but felt the ideal combination would be WG/40mm which happens to just not be a thing at all.

I try not to wear this every day, but it’s so hard not to

How could you NOT wear this every day? :p
I've literally just a couple days ago stumbled upon this forum and replica watches in general, and this is the watch I've chosen myself. Now to find the best version (seems like a bunch of info on YM are from 2008-2015, doesn't make researching on here easier, but this thread helps)

Sorry I missed this but looks like you were answered. This one’s 40mm. It’s a terrible copy, but I paid little and enjoy it thoroughly.

As you’ll see, once you stumbled, you will keep on stumbling. As the collection has grown, and as much as I want to wear this beauty all the time, I have to show the others in the collection some wrist-love lol.

Welcome to the madness!

Does anyone know if the 116622 bezel ring can fit 116655?
Also, if ARF 116655 case and bezel ring can take the gen 116655 bezel?
