GingerApple 7,285 Posted May 24, 2019 I have often thrown about my 'ARF - Better Than Gen™️' quote when gushing about my latest ARF arrival, but I've never really believed it (obviously). Until now. There is conclusive proof, ladies and gentlemen, in this comparison thread linked below that ARF is indeed, better than Gen: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/rolex-tudor-replicas/7820901-review-of-zzf-new-sub-116610-ln-and-comparison-vs-gen-arf-noob-and-nail-part-ii Screenshot below proves it!

Chiquita Fanjita 1,782 Posted May 24, 2019 Their crystal may be good, but they need to do some more work on their bezel inserts! The pearl is way off centre on my new ARF Submariner and the engraving is closer to the crystal at the bottom and closer to the bezel at the top. It's as if the person responsible for the inserts has been pissed while making them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't you think people were just fucking rude about that though? Ok, so the seller wants to sell his products, so he claims his oranges are the sweetest and juiciest - that's his job! But at least he's putting up excellent comparison photos so people will draw their own conclusions. He must have spent hours on that and all some cunts want to do is slag him off cos he called his watch Gen like. Fair enough disagree with him, but be polite FFS! It's a real forum asset those macro photos, is already stickied in fact; some people need to learn some manners a bit of gratitude. Innit. And there's ends Friday's rant. 2 minutes ago, Chiquita Fanjita said: Their crystal may be good, but they need to do some more work on their bezel inserts!

Signed Cynical Englishman He's been very open in a couple of threads that the maker is his friend so I don't think he's hiding the fact that it's worth more money to him selling one of these than selling an ARF or whatever.

deju 1,873 Posted May 24, 2019 To be abundantly clear the ARF LEC is the worst example there. Yeah its pretty, yeah its sharp, yeah its neat. but that LEC is too deep and pronounced. The laser used is not capable of creating a small enough focused beam This is a better example of a Gen LEC and Service LEC:https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=6589 I don't know why all replica rolex wearers get excited over the LEC. If I can spot the LEC without squinting, holding the watch in perfect light and it takes less than 30seconds to spot even at 5cm from my eye, it's a mutha funking fake. The whole aspect of the LEC is to be there but not be seen. Unlike the omega Speedmaster crystal which looks like a damn spec of dust or a chip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair do's. And I've never seen anyone else go to that much effort to promote a watch. That's a fantastic job he's done. Hopefully, he gets the shiners that he was promised. He does realise that when one of the other factories brings out a new version, he's going to have to redo all those macro shots, right?

I can't see the LEC on my gen Rolex crystals. They have to be held a certain way with a torch shining at an angle on them to be even remotely seen. When you do see it though, it is pretty cool how unnoticeable it is in normal circumstances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's that level of engineering that makes the LEC interesting. Just as you get to the point of self doubt.
