Therefore these should NOT be known factory flaws and my question is valid (according to the rules). Definitely bring it up and ask for better photos. Black dots may be camera. On occasion @tribefan makes a valid point, and it’s true the Daytona is a hot rep and if it’s ARF or Noob it’s got a high chance of being a parts bin watch as the Factories are gone.

Long standing rule of the forum not post QC pics to do QC, mainly because you could post Gen pics and someone will find fault with them. 2.) If you need to question the authenticity of the piece then you are probably using the wrong TD 3.) Whose to say what is ARF and what is not anymore. Since the raids replicas of replicas have been out in the market for Noob, Clean and VSF. ARF is closing up shop, so what they got is what they got, and it would not surprise me one bit that much of what they have left is stuff that didn't move or had slight issues or was pieced to together with whatever parts they needed to get them finished. Which TD to use if I need to question the authenticity of the piece? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He means TD are that for a reason, if you ordered an ARF V3 and they sent you something else, they would jeopardise their name and their ability to sell here.
