Updated ARF V3 Submariner 116610 is out

[Vi-Lo]

For the bezel teeth... do you think its just the angle or are they not deep enough?

 

[botsyboy]

Hand alignment is becoming a big problem with arfs recently! As said dw is not central either.

 

[Therion666]

Hands are completely misaligned and the datewheel is nowhere near being centered. That's someone else's QC reject..they must be joking.. That's an almost 500$ rep FFS!!

I waited nearly 10 days for my QC pics... i think because of christmas/new year they have a lot of requests and cant feed all them obviously
i think im asking for another one...

Don't think mate, do it, it's worth the wait. You paid good money, they better send you a good watch.

I wanted to show you my QC pics because i have a special thing to ask for! there are 2 things that im not sure about:

1.) the minute and hour hand seem not to be aligned properly - so the hour Hand is showing about 01:40, but the minute hand is on 20 past.

2.) the DW seems thin and crispy but it is offset in the upper right corner in the date window. Can you all confirm?
is that a thing that matters when im about to change the DW with a gen?

would be great if you could say something about these points!
Let me know if im breaking some rules here. Thanks a lot!

Yeah buddy its an easy rejection. There are some flaws we can accept but not somethin like this.

 

[diamant]

55 flaw, screw crown sticking out any other than that is good2go? Just checking cuz ARF flaws lately..

 

[elmo1]

diamant May I know which TD is this from?

 

[Kayatsu1]

I really would like to see a comparison of this with zzf v2

 

[Vi-Lo]

Got QC pics of a new piece and there is a special question i have:

- 45 and 55 flaw is acceptable in your opinion?
- SELs look pretty good - can you confirm?
- Bezel teeth between 40 and 55 look odd again (?!) but on the picture from the side they look normal

 

[freediver]

yup , usual ARF flaws otherwise beautiful watch imo

 

[crashuid]

Hi,
what is the 45 and 55 flaw? Could you please elaborate?
Thanks

I’d love to know what this so called “flaw” is

You can see the bezel markers being very very close to the crystal! The should be centered between the outer and inner bezel edge... if you compare the marker at 45 with the one at 15, the you‘ll recognize

 

[lfarcos]

In my opinion, this last piece is nice.
I would accept it.
It’s near impossible to find the perfect one without these flaws.

Are you sure there is no gen batch like this?

Seen this so many times, people identity “flaws” only to learn they are rare gen features.

45 and 55 looks awfully close to crystal on my gen (pic attached) lol.

Don’t know how you guys come up with these “flaws”

I just don’t look that deeply into things like this because ceramic subs have been around since 2012 and there has been numerous batch variations in this time. Nobody has committed to memory all the variations

Gen: compare 45 and 25 marker positions relative to crystal

Oh didnt know that gens have this „issue“ too... so maybe we shouldnt put that into the category of flaws
watch is accepted! Thanks for telling me your opinions!

 

[Therion666]

This is borderline insanity at times...

The postman popped by earlier and look what he brought.





This is a very very well made watch.

I'm glad to be ignorant enough not to recognize all those shades and depths of green you're supposed to see on a Hulk. I like this one and it feels like a good quality product. I'm not going to flash it on IG to pretend I'm loaded, so it's fine.

Would it be an upgrade or downgrade for me?
To change to the ARF v3

Currently have ARF SH3135 v2
Or maybe just stick with what I got ?
