Rolex Daytona 116508 ARF Factory Review
The Rolex Daytona 116508 model is produced by ARF Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, standard case diameter and 7750 automatic chronograph movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.
In terms of craftsmanship, ARF has perfectly inherited the watchmaking technology of its parent company, J12. The case and bracelet workmanship is better than Noob's; I can easily say that no watch company in our market has such a good case workmanship in their replica watches as the AR factory offers. The case is made of 904L stainless steel, with an 18K yellow gold coating that is measured to be 5 mils thick. This replica is the latest V2 edition, that is, the newest version; There are no V8 or V9 editions yet. Regarding Daytona, Noob factory did not release V8 or V9 either, so please do not be fooled by other sites that advertise themselves as Noob factory.
Case and Body Workmanship
In this improved V2 edition, the bezel has been updated; The thickness of the bezel engravings is closer to that of the original Daytona. If you have previously bought the V1 edition of the ARF Daytona, you can compare the two. Every corner of the case is smoothly machined; Thus, you do not experience any scratching sensation while wearing the watch. Like noob Daytona, ARF now engraves these secret symbols behind each ear.
Dial and Hand Details
The dial on this Daytona comes in black and white options. The dial has also been improved in the V2 edition. Especially minute scales; their thickness was corrected and made closer to the original. The engravings on the inner bezel are clearer and cleaner, and the spacing between each “ROLEX” text is also correct. In general, the dial workmanship is extremely excellent, except for the defective minute-chronograph counter and hour-chronograph counter; The hour and minute hands on these two secondary dials are fixed and have no function. But this is not a big problem; I don't care about the chronograph when I wear a Daytona, also if you run the chronograph too often on a Noob Daytona you will run into technical problems.
As for this V2 Edition Rolex Daytona from the AR factory, if there were a full score of 10, I would give this watch 9.5. I hope the AR factory can fix the chronograph issue while maintaining the stability of the movement.
