- ✅ Power Reserve: Approx. 48-70 hours (Real-world usage varies, highly efficient).
- ✅ Functionality: Instant date change at midnight; Crown winding direction matches Gen.
- ✅ Reliability: Updated reverser wheels for smoother automatic winding.
Technical Specifications
THE BUILD (WEIGHTED)
140g Heavy Alloy Case
ARF has achieved a breakthrough by using a high-density alloy case (increasing weight by 40-50g over steel) rather than just thickening the case back. This maintains the correct genuine thickness while providing the heavy “gold” feel on the wrist.
THE FACE
Matte Black & Improved Rehaut
The “Inner Shadow” (Rehaut) engraving has been significantly sharpened. The font depth, clarity, and brightness are now indistinguishable from the genuine article to the naked eye.
THE BEZEL
Press-Fit Ceramic Construction
Unlike cheaper replicas that use adhesive tapes, ARF utilizes a genuine-style mechanical press-fit structure for the ceramic insert. This ensures tight density, a smooth profile (no protrusion), and better water resistance.
REFINEMENT
18k Rose Gold Plating
Equipped with a nano-protection layer to solve previous oxidation issues. The lug sanding is fine and uniform, and the color tone is tuned to match Rolex Everose.
🏆 Why We Chose ARF for this Model?
Many clients ask: “Why not Clean Factory (Clean) or VSF?”
Here is the honest truth: While Clean Factory makes an excellent steel watch, their “precious metal” replicas are made of standard stainless steel, making them significantly lighter (approx. 100g) than the real thing. ARF wins decisively on Tactile Authenticity. With a total weight of 140g, this watch offers the “heavy” drape and presence of 18k gold that standard replicas simply cannot fake.
Full Disclosure: Because this uses a high-density alloy plated with gold, deep scratches cannot be polished out like solid gold. Treat the finish with care.

Common Questions about the ARF Yacht-Master
Q: Does the weight really make a difference?
A: Absolutely. Standard steel replicas weigh around 100g. This 140g version bridges the gap significantly towards the genuine 155-160g weight, eliminating the “cheap/light” feeling on the wrist.
Q: Will the Rose Gold plating fade?
A: ARF uses a new Nano-protection layer to seal the plating. With normal care (avoiding harsh chemicals or perfumes directly on the case), the color should last for years.
Q: Is the Oysterflex strap adjustable?
A: Like the genuine, the strap contains metal blades inside the rubber. It has the Glidelock extension system in the clasp for micro-adjustments, but gross adjustments require selecting the correct strap sizing lengths (E, F, G, etc.).
