The long awaited 904 tests of the latest ARF Daytona and SD43 are finally here.
Case 1/Strap 3 - Daytona, Case 2/Strap 4 - SD43
As you can see from the test results, strap and case is confirmed 904. Chemical composition falls within the allowable range. Read more here http://www.suppliersonline.com/propertypages/904L.asp
Testing was done via XRF Handheld Scanning. It is a non-destructive test, but is able to accurately determine the chemical composition of a metal.
Based on the results, the cases came from one source and the bracelets came from another. This falls in line with what we have been told about different factories/manufacturers for different components.
And a few pics.
Watches as they arrived in their service cases
