LHD_Kid ive not recieved the watch yet. I have purchased a glass case back for the watch. See attached pictures. I will post images of it installed when my watch arrives. Thanks.

Be careful with that caseback

misiekped I did review which case back would be best suitable for me (including the one you have suggested). However 10 bar wasn't an important factor for me as I wouldnt ever swim wearing my watch. This one is solid stainless with sapphire glass and cost a 3rd of the price.

Understand your point
Just want to warn you guys, it doesn’t have sapphire glass and regular glass and the view of the movement is limited
Preik one you will see the whole movement
Just my 2c

misiekped I appreciate your input, thanks. I will probably get one in due course. I have already Purchased the watch, CF Bezel, Clear Gasket, and Arf parts. This display case back is made from 316L solid stainless steel, with saphire crystal insert tested at 100 meters. So it should suffice for now, until my wallet recovers. I agree the visability of the movement is much better from the one you have suggested.

misiekped also I think £189 for a watch case back is exstautionate.

It didn’t cost me that much as I don’t have to pay VAT
But it’s worth every penny, my Daytona came up close $3k

misiekped to be honest it's a mod, we are not trying to replicate anything by adding a glass back. I probablably will end up get the one you have suggested though lol. Wow, you've spent a fair amount, I would love to see some pictures if yiu have the time to post some on here. Thanks.

What ARF parts have you bought and why?

 

[SniParr88]

Freia i have the Arf 904l Daytona (Arf doesn't have a functioning SA4130 movement). Apparently the arf face and Bracelet is better. So some people on here use the Noob base and movement and put the arf face and strap on. I will review this when my Noob arrives. Personally I don't think it's necessary as the arf face has its own flaws that people seem to over look. The Noob V3 face is actually quite good now, and close to gen anyway.

 

[Freia]

SniParr88 I see. Thank you for clearing that up. I hope the Noob V3 bracelet is good enough though. In addition to the bracelet, I'm considering a high-quality rubber band as well. Probably from Rubber B.

Freia the Noob and Arf bracelet are both 904l stainless steel. However the finish is just slightly better on the Arf (however this has become inconsistent). You can improve the look and the feel of your Noob bracelet by treating it. I use dry bike chain lube. This is very effective and makes the strap feel and look Gen like. Make sure you use 'dry' lube, as it won't leave a greacy residue on your watch. I use this process with all of my watches. Other people suggest baby oil, but that makes the watch greaxy, smell and attract dirt and crap.

 

[Freia]

SniParr88 I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks in real life. Are you polishing the center links with that dry chain lube, or do you mean that you're using it to lube the pins/links?

misiekped great pictures, thanks for sharing the dial. Looks superb.

 

[SniParr88]

Freia i remove the strap, links and screws and first wash all parts with warm water and soap. I then air dry and start working all pieces with the dry lube. The watch will naturally dry after applying this. Then finally get a micrfibre cloth and buff the strap (it will bling). Process takes about an hour, two tops. This shouldn't need redoing for a long time.
