Hello, I'm a newbie here and would really want to purchase the Yacht-Master Baselworld. I am confused on which one to buy, if it would be the ARF, JF or Noob version. I would really appreciate all the suggestions of experts so I could purchase the best one out there. Thanks

im in the same situation as you really mate, im looking for the rhodium yacht master too and have read a lot of threads regarding this watch. the conclusion that i have come to is that both noob and arf versions are quite deecent watches one has better hands and apparently they still havent got the bezel exact, however a recent thread i read from a few months back mentioned that the latest arf verion was the best up to date currently which is this one (i think) same watch from different sellers... intime and puretime im sure someone here will shed some light for us

im not too fussed about the flaws that you can see up close and personal as long as they are not too obvious. just want to be happy wearing it as a first purchase!

Hello mate,

So I tried to get in touch with puretime regarding the Yacht Master and was trying to inquire and have them suggest which one was the best replica out there for the watch. So Jennifer from Puretime suggested the Noob version aside from the ARF and JF versions. As she said it was best one and closest to the gen one. She also said ARF has the latest version but the Noob is much more accurate. Here's the link she sent.

Hopefully experts could confirm which one is the best for the buck

@kennethyu888 hello mate, ive just been reading a lot of stuff and theres loads to digest,from what i have read there are loads of people that have bought both versions that are happy with them, like you say, the arf version is the latest and the only differences i have found are on this thread https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/rolex-tudor-replicas/6770896-calling-all-yachtmasters

for example the triangle at the top of the arf version is too short compared to gen, and the bezel has a lumpy click when turned, other than that i really cant see any noticable differences that stand out other than a marginal difference in the 'yacht master' font in blue. so like you ujst want to be steered in the right direction as to which one out of the box is actually better.

i think i would be happy with either version but spending this amount want to be sure. looking at that noob one i cant see anything that is untoward!
