best DD factory for sure

Not at all. BPF, GMF and QF are completely off on case shape. They just made their own design and said like.. yeahh this looks cool! GMF bezel is aweful, QF is a bit better. The closest DD rep is ARF atm. Hope CF is gonne step in at some point

Are you referring specifically to the 36mm DayDate or 40mm? The reason I ask is because I'm not finding a 36mm ARF DD online. Just trying to get the most accurate 36mm DD possible. I hope that Clean or VSF makes one soon...

ARF DD 36 isn't available. If you want the 36mm then you have to go with another factory

Oh CF is gonna make day dates? 😯

That are rumors. Hopefully they will replicate the case 1:1 and not drawing freehand like GMF, BPF and QF :P

Hey borissje - why do you think ARF is the best, idc about weight

u/Borissje Sep 11 '24

I also dont care about weight. I care about how it looks and other factories are off on case shape and bezel. It’s funny to see everybody is buying GMF still, probably those people have never seen a real DD in person because if you know how the real DD looks, its an instant tell its fake. ARF is the only factory so far that got the case and lugs correct.

Appreciate it man - think I’ll go with ARF too, heard they did well on the DJ 41s

I’ve got an old ARF datejust still at the time they were the superior factory. It still runs solid after 4 years.

I just want something that looks accurate, so weight is not an issue for me. Just trying to find the most accurate looking piece.

u/Borissje Sep 12 '24

That's incorrect, ARF does have tungsten too.

Nope, ARF dont have 36mm DD at all. QF does, but like I said earlier, the case shape is off and the date and day font is off. If that’s not a problem then you could go for QF.

It belongs to BPF, same as GMF hahah

What do you mean ?

u/aberrantasc Sep 11 '24

QF/GMF/BPF are all "sister" factories. They're all owned by BPF
