[Khronos 1,339]

We have a new ARF release in 904L steel. Thoughts?

I know. But is it big enough for you?

[Khronos 1,339]

But seriously, transition of colors on the dial looks promising, bezel insert looks awesome and I believe that the OGEV text is spot on!

One thing I don't like is the SEL fit at 11, you can see right through it..

wowza !

 

cool news indeed

Looks great.

I'd be prepared to upgrade from my noob v7.

look like BP has released a new model too and they are calling it a BP V2 , but it would really be a v3 , and the HEV sux buttasskey

I'd stay away from BP, every single watch from them I had so far was mediocre..

But ARF is really pushing prices a bit too high, we're not far from 500$ mark with this one. And that's a very solid gen money, especially around Black Friday time.

Is it worth the upgrade from the noob v7...lol

I think for me it will all come down to the dial colour and insert and offcourse SEL fitment.

Is the Noob V7 the best dial (closest to gen) at the moment? 

[Khronos 1,339]

@jibuti You know that I knew damn well Them Rolex bastards need to start making men's watches..A 47mm sub for starters

Not sure as yet. It's only released today.

Neverthess Noob dial is really good in my opinion. There is gen vs rep thread here somewhere.

I've got an older version coming in, may swap out the dial for the v7 one.

Must be a DC movie. Stanless. One of those head scratching moments.

That will be fixed very quickly... ARF are known to own the agile methodology in watch making.

You may not ever see it, but I want every single letter to be present for 479$ plus 50$ shipping.

Sure...new version will be STANILESS.

[GingerApple 7,304]

I might jump on that bandwagon anyway, it looks great to me. I think I can easily live with a missing 'i' that I'll never see anyway if the rest of the watch is up to ARF's recent standards. I've got two of their Daytonas and their sea dweller and they're amazing watches out of the box, I think I have to buy this! Admittedly the SEL looks poor too, but QC will let me ensure that's not an issue. I think I'm going for it...... Damn you ARF!!!!!
