duddlyboy 0 Posted January 22, 2018 Thinking of buying one of these for my wife . Anybody have one, or have experience of the watch ,and can give me any advice on whether it is a good buy ? Especially interested in what people think of dials , and is one colour dial better than others ? The case, strap , cyclops etc look pretty spot on out of the box , just not sure on dial colours etc , having watched video , the blue looks the most gen like , not sure about other colours ( I think she would prefer silver ) . Thanks in advance . Share this post Link to post

Dusk 1 Posted January 23, 2018 They are excellent reps. There were a couple of very long threads on this model on the forum before it went down. Consensus is the dw font is too chunky and people have mixed feelings about the movements so if you want to be pedantic a gen or noob dw and service should be budgeted. The salmon/ pink dials are more bronze but other colours look good. I frankened and serviced mine as soon as it landed with gen DW, dial and crystal. Hands are good as is the bezel, bracelet and crown. A slight tell is the crown sits on a slight flat part of the case on the gens which isn't present on the ARF All in all its recognised as the best DJ out of the box in 36mm your wife will be happy Share this post Link to post

Hunklee 0 Posted January 27, 2018 Is ARF 116234 considered a super rep? May existing owners shared what is the biggest flaw if at all? Thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post

Thanks in advance . ARF Datejust is almost perfect watch. For casual wearers, it can pass off as real and if you spend a little $ and make it franken, you don't need to go gen ever!! Like this..
