I recently acquired a black dial 116660 super franken and have been on the hunt for a d-blue dial. Found a couple of gens...I might as well buy the watch. Who has the best rep version?

I want a Deepsea blue and Noob with his v10 is not operational.
Right now there is only the ARF

What the hell is that website lol..? I’ve no idea what’s going on there. The model you want is the latest DSSD D-Blue by ARF. They’re at v3 I believe.

It’s irrelevant that Noob is out of business, because as everyone is telling you, the ARF is better. Noob’s dials were always too dark.

I have an ARF. Great watch, good build quality good dial. The SH movement is okay not the best but overall ARF is the way to go for the D-Blue.

Yeah...the 116660 frank3n that I acquired is great as it sits with lots of gen treatments...but I just love the d-blue as opposed to the black. Trying to decide if it's worth the effort to send off for a dial swap and if I'd be happy with a rep d-blue dial as opposed to the gen black dial it currently has

How is ARF date sitting in date window. It is centered. I seen some TDs pics with date font being way of center.

It's a great watch, but the green color is wrong on all of them. Just know that.

Yeah...the "deepsea" is evidently harder to replicate than a close to 1:1 904l case...lol

Here's my 2cents, in making decision to buy noob v10 (vs arf v3 122660 at the time last year)...I've never seen the ARF in person, only photos...from which (I compared to pics of Noob V10, and) it appears Noob v10 dial has a significantly brighter/richer blue and a brighter, truer green "DEEPSEA". I wouldn't be surprised if ARF bracelet quality, date wheel-centering, other were superior.

Suppose you can't go wrong with either, a great shame if indeed Noob is no longer.

Hello
To the deepsea expert what do you think about this QC pic, the minute hour looks weird no?

The lume strip does appear a bit thinner than the gen but it probably isn't noticeable to the naked eye (if it even is too thin).

What is probably noticeable is the date in the date window being too far to the right and the minute hand being too short.
