alilondon 343 Posted October 24, 2021 Hi all Not planning to post QC pics... But buying a ARF Daytona from TD (Hont) and need confirmation it is what he says it is. Reason for doubt is he says it has working chrono but I have a few and know thats not correct! Would that be OK here to get some help to confirm the model is what I think it should be? To be clear I am not asking nit picks / QC comments etc. Before I do wanted to check you're OK with that! Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrluwin 282 Posted October 24, 2021 Did he say "working chrono" or fully functioning sub dials? I've heard that ARF are on their way back with limited stock so if I TD says that it is ARF then it's a fair bet that it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meaning the chronograph sub dials will not operate. If you engage the chrono the big second hand (which is chrono) will go round and round. The sub dial will not register any minutes, it will always look like the chrono has ran for under 60 seconds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,269 Posted October 24, 2021 I'm afraid you can't post QC pics on here. Try RWI. There's probably no one on here who knows the answer anyway! Subdials look quite fat for ARF I'd say, but then again, I'm one of those people that knows nothing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if it is ruin for 61 seconds, and it doesn't record a minute in the subdial, that would point toward ARF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not doing OP’s homework but he can see bracelet code and subdial pinions in the QC pics he should research this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alilondon 343 Posted October 25, 2021 Bracelet code is correct arf. Key for me therefore is making sure the watch head itself is too...Subdials looked a bit fat... So may be just photos if the chrono stacks up?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribefan 6,768 Posted October 25, 2021 The dealer you are buying from is not a TD here, and you cannot get advice on QA pics here, regardless of the TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tribefan 6,768 Posted October 26, 2021 It has an AR sticker on it, if it is a trusted dealer then why ask the question? Do you go to Waitrose and ask them if the quality of eggs are better at Sainsbury? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So buy it, before the TD will cease to communicate as you clearly are one of those customers that are better to be customer of someone else 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
