WHY would you want it to be functional lol . You taking it that far down ;-)

lol , Actually i want it to be NON functional , Like the BPSD, if they made it like the DSSD reps  ("funtional")  i would want to have it sealed , like i did on my DSSD ...

Anyone know process ARF is using on the insert ? As it certainly appears much brighter than noob inserts.  At least in these pics.  Or is this one of those lighting issues?

@drifterr : What is your wrist size? Could you perhaps make a photo from a bigger distance, just for better perspective?

Congrats, wear it in good health!

Just resized the watch. Simply removed the diver extension and it's fits like a glove..

Attached some pics comparison with my noob dssd v7

The insert on the arf puts noob to Shame.

Yet to compare bracelets etc etc..

Wrist size is 7 inch db3a2e97f19d8198630fcf869b9a807f.jpgbad7fd362e59e8418b7a838bbcfae9f5.jpgcf794534a70ea3610887590fd35947d3.jpg

To me everything seems better on the arf comparing with noob. Still love the nooob dssd

The pearl is slightly recessed on ARF

That was a 10 sec natural light... Wasn't even sunny. Overcast and cloudy...

Doesn't look like it. But I'll double check for you mate.

But that insert is freaking amazing. SD is such a good fit on the wrist.

I am simply comparing it with noob insert .

ARF insert is more lively and brighter / sharper / crisp..where as noob appears to be dull. This is indoors.

Will check out in natural light tomorrow.

Below my noob dssd in natural light. 1e95c5e9c24a36dfe8b019667881fc34.jpgeb309c42e7d7bbc140df66bd6d6684c2.jpg

Thank you for the additional photos. Seems like a pretty huge watch, but not too large for your wrist.

Ordered mine today, what should I look out for? This would be my first Rolex rep and I did heard something about updated datewheel, how do I tell the difference?

Brilliant looking rep!

Updated DW for sure and even the bezel teeth/scallops look a bit less pointy on some of your shots. 

As I told you on the geek, wear it in good health and let me know if you ever want to get rid of it. 

Saludos, Chroniker

Make sure you get a QC picture of the 28. If it looks like drifters you are good to go. If the number 8 on the 28 looks fat, you’ve got the old DW.

Stunning piece

i'm just a bit worried about the cyclops, does it have the blueish reflection like noob cyclops have ?

 

to me it's by far the biggest tell of those rolexes

Ordered.

Hopefully they will bring out a GMT Master ll very soon.

Do the ARF bracelets need baby oil bath before wearing?

No. Just wash bracelet with hot soapy water and wear.

That would hurt my wallet, I’m looking forward to see that too.
