ARF daytona QC - TERRIBLE!!!

Recommended Posts

Xepa

Guys I've been waiting for weeks on QC pics for two watches.  One is out of stock and factory can't confirm when they'll be available (great) and the QC I got of the other one is CRAP. I previously had an ARF 116500LN which was amazing but I decided I'd rather have the older style so I sold it and ordered a black dial 116520.

What the fuck is this crown about?

[Mod edit: QC pics not allowed here]

Logo looks like it needs to go on a diet and it has the triplock symbol from a white gold model??? ARF should know better. After all the time I waited for this? It's a small detail but it makes me wonder about how the rest was put together because this crown does not belong to this watch. The rest looks ok but I am fucking pissed off and expected better from them.

I know gens are triplock but when the middle dot is larger it signifies being made of gold. The dots on a stainless model should all be identical, also the shape of the logo was wrong. Apparently ARF have been known to have bad QC at times. Hopefully the next one they get will be better! If not I'll have to just live with it.

If someone can call out the crown flaw on your  ARF QC, you’ve already been called out for; 

The fact your chrono doesn’t  work after 59seconds. 

The fact your subdials have different pinions for the faux dials. 

Not to mention the watch sounds like a gritty bastard on your wrist. 

:lol:

You can only complain if the crown on your QC pic is different to that on the sale pic.  Even if it's a million miles from gen, if it matches the sale picture it's passed QC.

I’ve not seen OP’s QC but the 116520 ARF shows the correct sized o o o dots not o 0 o

ooooooooooooh

It's not about being called out. That's not a concern and it would never happen anyway. It's for my own personal enjoyment, I like the way the crown looks and this is just wrong. The one on my previous ARF daytona was beautiful and this just looks crap. I'm aware of the other flaws and I'm not bothered about them because they're not noticeable to me, whereas this certainly is.

Im aware of that. Same reason you can't reject a datejust for the bold date font. The crown on the site is different and correct as per gen, this is not.

Ok you couldn't post QC pic here and for some reason you weren't aware of that, but tell me, what do you think you could have achieved by posting that here ? 

It's not like we have any power on that or even any other suggestions than "reject it then"

Why do we all jump on people these days!!?! Ok, so OP posted QC pics when he shouldn't have (OP, do it in the Shoutybox, you get away with it there :rofl:), but his frustration sounds legit and he's helping those who might buy an ARF to know to look out for the wrong Crown.

Come on peeps, let's be a bit more touchy feely!

Cunts.
