The ARF SD43 and the Daytona are both case and bracelet 904l. The ARF DJ36 SS 116200 has only the bracelet in 904l. Share this post Link to post

amptor 0 Posted January 4, 2018 If the case isn't 904L on a 904L watch, then why call it 904L. Misleading. Share this post Link to post

amptor 0 Posted January 5, 2018 It's what I was told on the RWI forum in the 904L thread and I verified it with the TD they discussed in his website but I forgot what one that was. Share this post Link to post

Rolliedude 0 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I bought an ARF Daytona C 904l with a movement that replicates the original. The bracelet looks and feel are a whole new ball game. I have a white dial daytona C made by another factory and believe me, the ARF one looks totally like the original! It is amazing! Edited January 22, 2018 by Rolliedude Share this post Link to post
black263 228 Posted January 22, 2018 I always understood there wasn't a movement that exactly replicated a Daytona. Is this something new? I ask out of marginal interest, as it is still a Rolex. Share this post Link to post
TimePeace 0 Posted January 22, 2018 I always understood there wasn't a movement that exactly replicated a Daytona. Is this something new? I ask out of marginal interest, as it is still a Rolex. It is just a a7750 with the gears for the subdials at 3 and 9 removed. Then they added a stupid lookalike deco plate. Enviado desde mi iPad utilizando Tapatalk Share this post Link to post

I think spending time and money adding a decorative plate that won’t pass even the slightest inspection inside a watch with a closed case back is taking it a little far Share this post Link to post
PlanetZoom 1 Posted January 23, 2018 With a closed case back, I prefer a thinner watch to a deco plate every day of the week. Share this post Link to post

It’s closed caseback, the deco plate means the rotor is a hollowed out pos. would save a lot of money just being standard a7750. Modded Rotor makes it unwearable and means a blind man can call you out at 10 paces haha Share this post Link to post

Last problem is easy enough to avoid. Just walk 11 paces from any blind man. Edited January 23, 2018 by mysterio Share this post Link to post

Nice that's too bad though, since I hate Daytonas and not a big fan of black rolex divers. Share this post Link to post
