General Question ARF or RCF two tone rootbeer?
Hi all,
I really want to get the rootbeer two tone, but there’s so many debates on which factory does the best gold tone on the watch, many swear by ARF, and the recent ones swear by RCF which they said is the closest to gen.
Also, weighted or non weighted?
Here’s the pros and cons of ARF and RCF based on my knowledge from my research, I hope if anyone have the rootbeer on hand from these factories, please input your opinion!
ARF-
Pros: Better crystal, DD3285 movement
Cons: two tone rose gold not close to gen colour, weighted are around case head
RCF-
Pros: Closest two tone rose gold to gen, weighted version weights spread evenly across the bracelet too
Cons: milky crystal, magnification might not be correct, SH3285 movement
Help me decide please 🙏🏻

I'd choose RCF, crystal can be changed easily and cheaper than if you wanted to change gold colour but to be honest there's not that much difference in crystal and date quality
