Recommended Posts

Hey guys, there was an active thread back on RWI about the ARF sea dweller. Post your ARF sea dweller pics and please discuss if they already corrected the datewheel issue.

what's with the bezel between 12 and 3? Is that water, reflection, or glue or smtn?

Yes, it is with updated DW. 126600 arf will be my another watch. They must fix bezel teeth and it will be super rep for me

Is there any noticeable difference between 904 and 316 stainless?  I read elsewhere that the only difference would be corrosion resistance, but before that I'd read improved resistance to scratches.  

Is the 904 noticeably more scratch resistant or prettier to look at?

904 is definitely more gen :D

Most people say they can't see the difference, but for those who can spot the difference, it's the only detail that is an immediate tell with no remedy, gen dial and crown or not. One of the details that always bothered me. This is a definite game changer for me though and I'm sure plenty others. People will notice that steel, way before they get close enough to notice that gen dial and crown. Of course only .0 something % of the population, but hey... to each his/her own I guess.

Complete game changer.

Everything looks perfect to me EXCEPT the hands. Hands are standard rep hands (flat and not 3D like gen). Apart from that the watch is spot on.

Excellent crystal and cyclops black hole:

ARF 904L vs Gen 904L (hulk):

Gen hulk 904L (top) vs ARF (bottom):

^there IS a different between gen and rep 904L and quality of finish/brush BUT ARF is orders of magnitude better than usual dull Noob finish.

Dial surrounds are nice (very nice) but are a little flat compared to gen. only TC KH was able to nail the 3D hands and hour surrounds.

Rehaut engraving is very good.

ARFSD4k vs GenSD4k vs Genestein 1665:

Overall an amazing rep. Much better than anything I have seen from Noob. If they can improve dial and hands (to match TC KH quality), then this would be perfect!

Regarding "3d hands", I have Noob Yacht Master rhodium latest version and the hands on it are more 3d than on any other Noob watches I have. Maybe they are fixing this, can't compare to gen but definitely not flat.

Noob question but I’ve been out of the loop for a while.
Who currently has access to the ARF pieces?

I doubt they would make a functional HEV due to the added cost, but maybe someone knows for sure.

well on the DSSD , they made it "functional"....even though it may not operate correctly , 

 

the BPSD did a faux HEV which was great IMO , but if this is functional  so to speak , i would want to seal it , as i did my DSSD ...

 

Just wondering , i really like this watch ......
