Hi all, I'm new here and new to the world of rep watches so go easy on me!

Something that is really holding me back is that I want to get hold of the best possible rep for a Rolex Sub but there is one small detail that has me grinding my teeth.
Everything looks immaculate to the untrained eye on many of the versions - Noob / ARF.

However the spacing between the 1000ft = 300m on almost every rep I find for the black version is bunched together (Hulk's don't seem to have this problem?)

The most annoying thing is that the ARF is the best option from what I've read but they don't have a no date version which fixes this problem on most reps.

InTime sells the latest ARF which still has the problem
https://www.intime03.co/rollie/4793...-edition-904l-ss-case-and-bracelet-a2824.html

But then I found another site (not TD) which claims to have the same ARF but the problem is fixed!?

Somebody please help me out on this it's keeping me awake at night!

My advice is don’t let it put you off, the ARF Sub is a great Rep and I dare say the Noob is pretty decent too.

It does look stunning I'm drawn to the ARF over the Noob but its just that one tiny detail that is really getting on my nerves.
To me it seems the most obvious comparison to the Gen if you were to take a glance at the face.

Crossing my fingers for a No Date ARF to fix it!

thecodfather even the genuine submariner 116610LNs have different dial variations. Some have the spacing and some dont. I wouldnt let that hold you back. The ARF IMO is the best and better than noob. The link you posted with the ARF sub with the spacing does not look like the lastest one. The intime one looks like the lastest 1. Pull the trigger my friend you wont be dissapointed. Iv had mine for 2 weeks now and cannot stop looking at it! Good luck

These are rep...If this tiny detail are holding you back then your not going to be happy. Just save up and buy a gen. I just purchased Noob V9 and when I compare with my friend gen its night and day in details. If you wear this watch on your wrist no one will call you out. Its looks just like gen on the wrist.

Most newbies are picky. You’ll realize nobody knows but you AND not every Rolex is the same. If you’re a detail devil buy a gen OR better yet, build a Franken. I’m simply amazed at how well reps are made and how I can build the watch I really want with gen parts for a fraction of retail.

What’s gen and what’s not?

How about this one?

Hi, nice looking watch! Im thinking of getting the ARF as well, is the A2824 rotor noisy or free spinning?
