Oh go on you have to tell us now!Very nice. There is also another slight difference in the rep dial vs gen. But I won’t spoil that one since its very minuscule. This rep is amazing.

Hehe fine. On the gen dial, the rolex crown sits a bit higher, closer to the 12 o clock marker. In the rep it is a bit more distant. Also, the rep dial crown is more “filled” slightly bolder than gen. These are all microscopic details but they are there. However, this is perhaps the best if not the best gen like bracelet to ever come out of the factories and the overall rep is very nice. I honestly don’t know what they would fix in a V3. Perhaps maybe the bezel teeth but even that is truly not a big deal. Gen owners are complaninf of their gen bezel tearing up their cuff links so looks like gen has it’s bezel madness as well.Oh go on you have to tell us now!
Exactly where this watch deserves to be. It's not a Super Rep but it is the damn closest thing we've gotten to an amazing OOTB Rolex REP.I have added this watch to the NWBIG list
You mentioned the keyword phrase to this amazing rep. “It feels like a Gen”. You are right 100%Exactly where this watch deserves to be. It's not a Super Rep but it is the damn closest thing we've gotten to an amazing OOTB Rolex REP.
This is the first piece in the next stage of REP development. In that sense, it's a historical achievement in our mischievous hobby .
Super Rep to me means you need to bust out the microscope to tell the difference or open the watch. The flaws on this watch are visible to the naked eye and therefore it cannot be a Super Rep. NWBIG is still an amazing achievement for any REP. In the grand scheme of things, there aren't that many REPs that achieve this status.
I wish the other Rolex models would catch up to this but ARF hasn't made anything on this level yet. I kinda feel like they went all out on this to make a splash. The next stage of evolution will be reliable more advanced movements. The thing I love about the ARF more than anything is that it feels like a GEN. I hope the REP industry goes beyond just pure aesthetics and starts really replicating other details about these watches.
This is amazing results.I started messing around with one of these this weekend to see if I could fix the bezel teeth. Here is what I came up with.
