luxus564 6 Posted June 5, 2021 The 7550 is to fat. And it’s not reliable, if I remember correct Gesendet von iPhone 12 pro mit Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchGeek5711 165 Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Hi if you can skip on any daytona except noob there is some videos comparing noob with gen on youtube, i had an arf before sold it off locally and found out the person also sold it again.. Arfs bracelets however are superb! on the pics u can see a daytona ARF vs Gen ( look how they messed up the CGs) & (the pushers too) Arf is on top Edited June 5, 2021 by WatchGeek5711 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I dont think that arf has a movement like this If you don't know what you're speaking about you'd better to remain silent... ARF uses a 7750 (which per se is a good movement) with a specific modification used also into IWC portuguese which is INDEED reliable and makes it way thinner than the old crappy mods to move the secs at 6 (look at old Noob, BP and JF for these). So you can go for it. The thickness difference with the gen is 0.5mm. But beware, in order to keep the movement thin, the subdials at 3 and 9 are not working. You still have the chrono, but the only part of the chrono that will do the job is the central chrono second hand. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RolexCollector 16 Posted June 8, 2021 I used to have an ARF Daytona, the latest version is very good. Infact you can see many daytona build based on noob example whit ARF dial, ARF bezel and ARF clasp. The full ARF bracelet is still better than Noob one. The Noob one have a clone 4130 inside so it's thinner as gen and more accurate, but ARF still remain a very good rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it have anything to do with the positioning of the sub-dials, or is it a modification of the movement itself? Edited June 10, 2021 by Aramis2288 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's something that only with a 10x lens you may see, and only if you've a gen next to compare... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
