The movement inside This reference is built with either calibre. The choice changes the price, the rate and the reserve — nothing else about the watch.
| Base | Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215, automatic | Swiss clone of the maison's own calibre |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | ±15 to 25 seconds a day | ±5 to 10 seconds a day |
| Reserve | About 40 hours | 55 to 70 hours |
| Balance | 21,600 A/h · six beats a second | 28,800 A/h · eight beats a second |
| Servicing | Any watchmaker can service it; parts are everywhere | Serviced by a specialist; finished as the original is |
| Suited to | Wearing daily, keeping simply, spending less | Matching the reference exactly, and glass casebacks |
The Swiss movement is $50 more. That figure buys the rate, the reserve and a movement that reads correctly through a glass back — not a different watch.
Which we would take. If it is to be worn every day and serviced down the road from you, the Japanese is the honest answer. If it has to survive a loupe against the reference — or the caseback is glass and the movement is meant to be seen — take the Swiss.
The exact base calibre for this reference is confirmed in writing, with the QC film, before anything is dispatched. The two movements, explained

Description
The ARF Rolex Day-Date 40mm Day-Date display, an upgraded version, is here! A classic must-have for Rolex enthusiasts, the Day-Date is now perfectly replicated! It uses the 3255 integrated movement, identical to the original, not the market-standard 2834 movement. After many days of meticulous work, countless revisions were made to every detail, from the case thickness, the dial markers and jewels, the Roman numerals, the arc and burrs of the hands, the size of the steel bracelet components, and the adjustment of the plating color. All to present a truly perfect replica! Restoring the essence of a 1:1 replica.
The details of this revision are as follows:
1) Size and thickness are 12.2mm. The thickness is consistent with the genuine product (detailed images attached).
2) Authentic rhinestones are thinner and longer, while those on the market are generally thicker. This one has been repaired to match the size of the authentic one, including the facial and bottom structures (detailed pictures attached).
3) Regarding electroplating: The genuine product colors are not standard colors like 1N16 or 2N18. Instead, they are sent to an electroplating factory for color difference comparison, and the colors are individually matched to the genuine product. To prevent color fading, a nano-protective layer is applied afterward, thus increasing color durability! (Unconditional replacement for color fading not caused by human factors), and detailed pictures are attached.
4) The precious metal logos at the four corners of the bottom of the case are usually laser-engraved on market versions; although the lettering is clear, it's easily spotted as a fake. ARF uses a process of first molding and then etching to closely resemble the genuine product! (Detailed images attached)
We promise that all accessories are compatible with genuine products! If this is not true, we offer a full refund or return, whether used or unused. This is something other factories on the market cannot currently offer. Detailed comparison photos will be provided later. Seeing is believing. We welcome all users to review our products! If there are any shortcomings, please offer your suggestions; we are eager to learn. ARF will improve together with you!
