Rolex Submariner ARF Factory Review

The Rolex Submariner model is produced by ARF Factory with a solid stainless steel case, standard case diameter and Dandong 3235 Clone 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.

Case and Body Workmanship

The decoration of this water ghost is different from the third generation. The most important difference between the fourth generation and the third generation is the bezel color. The decoration of the fourth generation is more of a light green tone; Its color is paler and more vibrant, close to emerald green. The color of the third generation is slightly darker, similar to Starbucks green. This tone is also called Starbucks green or Starbucks model. The green of the fourth generation is a lighter, fresher green; When you put the two side by side, the difference between them seems quite obvious.

Dial and Hand Details

As for the dials, they both have black dials. Let's look at the details of the dial: the prints also have a three-dimensional effect. This model is made of a full body center axle and the lume fill around the hour markers is filled in quite smoothly. The lume is recessed inside, it doesn't stick out, it doesn't look overly full.

This is also pretty centered; engravings on the inside, there are all the required markings, there is also an anti-counterfeiting label. Texture quality is also very balanced. The lume dot is liquid white and extremely centered.

Lume is a very bright, ice blue toned lume. I recommend both the third and fourth generation, because the only difference between them is the bezel color. The bezel color of the fourth generation looks newer and more interesting; a more vibrant green, a rather unusual color.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Currently, the ARF has been upgraded to the Dandong 3235 movement. Its mechanism is Dandong 3235; Shanghai mechanism was previously used. This Dandong mechanism is no longer exclusive to VS, because the mechanism has spread; c plus, C+ and other factories, including ARF, can all access this mechanism. This movement is very stable, its power reserve can go up to 70 hours and its failure rate is extremely low; In normal use, there is no need to send it to service.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The engravings and every aspect of the Dandong mechanism are really well done; The engravings are quite deep, the failure rate of the mechanism is really low, and the processing quality is successful in every respect. There are also engravings and radial patterns that should be on the back of the case.

Now open the buckle and see; It is the same as the third generation, including the F80 engraving on the buckle, dimensions and thickness. They are both forty-one millimeter glass sizes and have the same thickness.

I hope my article will be useful to you. I will share more detailed disassembly, real shot review and real-replica comparison in the coming days.
