XF SD43 126600 - review & macros

[mclarendude]

Looks great! How much of an improvement is it over your ARF?

The ARF hasn't make it state-side yet, but it is a huge improvement of the ARF I had about a year ago. I'll try to make a side by side thread when it comes in.

Clean up after yourself!
Beautiful

Are you making a new 126660 or is it to modify the one you have on sale now ?

I’m modifying. I just need insert, bezel, case and hands from this one. Hope your doing well bro

When you see it’s I220m instead of 1220m, you can’t unsee it.

I’m glad I have a Gen mk2 dial

There’s a gen mk1.5 that has I220m.

Yeah, I’m 2018 - but not on mk2. Crazy that they haven’t fixed it yet

I don’t think it’s crazy mate. Factory isn’t claiming they are replacing a particular gen Mark. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion, it’s gen variation...impossible to prove otherwise.

Awesome pictures and great review. I've always been a big fan of the SD43... now I might have to pull the trigger

Question for anyone with the XF. When you set the time do the hand move forward when you turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise? I am still awaiting my XF 126600 but I saw on my video that the hands move forward when the crown is turned counterclockwise. This is the reverse of a gen so am just curious? Thanks.

The gen 3235 movement has same direction as the eta clone used in this

Thank you for that clarification. I must have the 3235 confused with another movement reference. Thanks again!!

ARF came in. Definitely a good choice on the XF. THE ARF case looks chonkier, specially on the lugs. I do see the difference in the bracelet but I don’t want to go through the trouble of swapping. Off to the chopping block it goes.

Guys, is it me or the valve of the ARF is wrong color? I think XF has it correct.

Once you see the wrong crown guards on the ARF, they cannot be unseen! LOL

mclarendude that Omega bracelet... Which model does it belong to, if I may ask?
Though I really should not be asking as it could mean more money out of my wallet!
