Hi,
I have some ARF watches but the bracelet is not too heavy.
I wonder if there is some factory with heaviest bracelet like the original watches that I can buy to my watches?
or if I can buy original bracelet to my watches?

Thanks

ARF. Why do you need a heavy bracelet?

ARF weight is just about right without feeling flimsy. Bracelets should feel comfortable on wrist, should hug the wrist profile and balance the weight of mid-case. The finish/quality/looks should be comparable to gens and clasp easy to use. That’s about all I care in the bracelet and ARF meets all these criteria.

Welcome to the forum, and yes these folks are right, if you research, ARF is known to have very well made bracelets. Heck some say is the best in the rep world.

In terms of weight, it should be nearly close to gen.

Thanks everyone!
I sell this watches in my country and lot of customers ask about the weight so I searched some heavier bracelets for them.
For myself I love the ARF bracelet and she looks great and comfortable.

Maybe I will try some of the options here..

thanks again ????

Arf v3 is quite good bracelet really. It sounds pretty ridiculous but I have had gen longines hydroconquest and I think arf is of higher quality, longines bracelet felt cheaper in comparison.

Another vote for ARF. I am a big fan of their quality and have compared with most of the big factories.

When I compared my ARF oyster with pcl and my gen, i foudn the arf link edges are sharp, and the connection is kinda loose.

Well the Hydro bracelet is known for being below part. I have one and the feel of my Omega rep bracelet is superior compared to the Hydroconquest.

ARF is known for making excellent Rolex bracelets. I wonder if there are any other contenders.

I pretty much got ARF bracelets for all my reps. Noob bracelets are not as good IMO.

The clean ones I think originally from arf feel like 99% the way towards gen I'm not even kidding. The fully brushed ones look near identical but the gen brushing is a little more refined, clean looks rougher.
