The ARF has released its advanced version of the Rolex Day-Date 40mm, a masterpiece for any Rolex enthusiast. This iconic model has been flawlessly replicated, featuring the in-house caliber 3255 movement, unlike the common market’s use of the 2834 movement.
After extensive efforts, every detail has been meticulously refined—from the case thickness to the dial markers, be they stick, T-diamond, or Roman numerals, and the curvature and polish of the hands. Even the bracelet’s parts dimensions and plating colors have undergone countless revisions to ensure an authentic replica experience.
Recent refinements include a case thickness of 12.2mm, matching the original’s dimensions, with in-depth detail photos available. The diamond markers, which are typically broader in the market, have been adjusted to perfectly align with the original’s slim profile. Both the face and the base structure have been faithfully reproduced.
In terms of plating, the standard color codes like 1N16 or 2N18 were bypassed. Instead, the exact color was matched by sending the original to a plating factory to eliminate any color discrepancies. A nano-protection layer was added to enhance color durability, promising a replacement if fading occurs due to non-manmade reasons, with detailed photos provided for assurance.
The precious metal markings on the case’s four corners, often laser-engraved in market replicas, have been crafted using a press and etch method for authenticity. This approach mirrors the original process as closely as possible, with detailed photos to substantiate these claims.
ARF guarantees all parts are interchangeable with the original Rolex, offering unconditional refunds and returns if not as promised. This is an assurance few other manufacturers in the market can match. Upcoming comparison photos will provide further evidence for this claim. We invite your evaluations and welcome any feedback for improvement, as ARF strives for perfection alongside its community.
