116610 Submariner VRF Max (V2)

[FamousDutch 7]

Looks like there is a update on the VRF watches.
Price is around $398.
Also the hulk has an updated version.
Any thoughts ?

If you were going to take macro shots don't you think you'd clean up the crystal first???? To me the bezel markers look more Gen like then the Noob v.7/8., which is good.  The date wheel alignment also looks nice - centered vertically and horizontally. Hard to tell from these images but the rehaut doesn't look as clean as the Noob, the crystal seems to be sitting very high compared to the bezel and the dial is not as sharp either. What movement is in it for $380 A2824?

They look great to me . I am going to wait to see what the consensus of opinion from the 'expert's '  is , and look out for reviews of actual watches . If it is favourable ( especially interested in what people think of the 'new improved ' bezel and dial ' ! ) , I think I might get myself a Hulk .

Looks to be great value!

There's a new V2 ARF Sub on Puretime today too - might be worth comparing and contrasting, especially for those with good eyes like @Ryano perhaps?

Yep that looks  good as well to my non expert eye . Not sure what 'prototype' means though ? A pre order not actually out yet thing ?? Although I thought the concensus was the V1 Arf sub was a bit rubbish , and well down the 'best' (lol) sub list .

That ARF on a quick look don't look to clever, the Cyclops looks like it has milk behind it and the Rehut engraving is pretty crap, and for the same price as the noob (which is over priced) I'd expect the 3135 with correct crown guards

And in the opening post the watch with the max sticker on is not the one on the macro shots, the bezel engravings are smaller

I thought having been following the various threads , was the VRF Hulk is mighty fine effort at a Submariner , apart from bezel . If this new bezel is indeed greatly improved on the Max version it should be a good'un ???

If that is the 'Max'  Hulk bezel in the picture , the colour looks good ( to me ) , but the markers are still far too white ? Which I think was the  main complaint about the first version ?

White markers are better than dark and invisible ones!

Looks like someone forgot to wash their hands when installing the Cyclops

Just click on link Dutch provided , or google 'VRF max submariner ' . No VRF and ARF are not the same thing . Also the links you provide , are the current VRF sub , not the new 'MAX' version , with supposedly improved bezel and dial.

Correct silver ones would be better than both the above options . Especially on the 'MAX' version .lol

[MB62 0]

Yes, but these insert markers look better than those on standard noob V7, IMO

Any comments on the wrapped gold subs?
