I am going to purchase ARF ym rhodium 2824 very soon , would use recommend bezel mod or bezel mod premium from Tom ? Also is it worth purchasing a gmf hand set ? If so where would I source this , thank you in advance

The bezel mod is a must-have for all ym reps with a platinum bezel. I cant say which mod is better, it‘s your decision. I have the standart mod and I recommend it. The gmf handset is a great mod too, because the stock arf second hand got the wrong colour. I sourced it from chazingtime for 23$

Hi people. Noob here. I've just bought an ARF YTM SS Rhodium and although I'm mostly pleased with the QC pics, I would appreciate your opinion in the following:

I see the bracelet and lugs connection is not flush with the cage. I have seen several units in which the bracelet is 100% flush with the case. I also happen too own a GEN no date oyster in which bracelet and lugs are 100% flush. Is this adjustable or should I point it out to my TD? Thx.

I guess you have ordered a 116622 not *2266. Anyway, the hand needs to be a 2824/2836 to match with the pinions. However, I think GMF produces only 2824 YMs so mostl likely this will fit.

Hi guys this is my first rep looking to see if anyone can give a second opinion on my QC photos and tell me if they would Accept or not thanks

Dealer name - trusty time




Factory name - ARF




Model name yacht master rhodium 116622




movement - 2824




Album link - https://photos.app.goo.gl/mQFLW6k4YS1HyDf48




-Index alignment - looks fine to me hard to tell -because it's circular

-Dial printing - looks good

-date wheel alignment - is it me or does it not look centred ? As if it's going down to much? Would appreciate any input.

-Bezel - looks good

-solid end links (SEL) - is there a gap ?

-hand alignment - can't tell

-time graphers numbers - does the zero on 10 look thicker than rest?
  • any other input would be greatly appreciated as this is my first rep

I have two ARF yacht master watches I have bought this year, I am much more impressed with my zzf V2 submariner than I am either one of the ARF yacht masters, I have a rhodium and a roselium dial, I almost switched manufacturers when I bought the second and I wish I had, the bezel on both ARF yacht masters will damn near spin in either direction when the wind blows, it feels extremely cheap on both watches, the blue and red second hands on the watches are a shade that in my opinion do not match a damn thing, the crystal is not good at all and the dial color on the roselium again in my opinion doesn’t look good at allI have worn the watches about 4 times each and so they sit in the watch winder while I wear my zzf sub daily, I have always preferred the yacht master over other Rolex models but after 2 ARF models I wouldn’t recommend a friend to buy one, if anyone knows who may make a better yacht master than what my TD keeps pushing each time I ask, which is ARF please let me know and again this is just my opinion
