I've recently ordered a rohdium one (didn't already get). When I made the order I've asked for a noob v2, but my td suggested me to prefer the arf.

As I was in train to buy it last year, I got in touch with Tom for the bezel mod. I confirm that he, the same, suggested the ARf for a better dial.

So I definitely choose the ARf.

How many clicks does your bezel make? I know they are supposed to be 120 on the gen, but my noob rep only makes 40 clicks which is one every 1.5seconds. Looks really strange

Hi all, curious if any of you YM guys have experience with the ARF 116655 SS version. I searched this tread and can't find any posts related to that particular watch. Also very few posts on the forum in general as far as reviews go most discuss the gold version. I see that it's available with either a A2824 movement or the SH3135. I plan on swapping in a VR3135 movement (if possible).

The watches can be seen here:

https://puretimewatch.io/yacht-mast...-bezel-on-oysterflex-rubber-strap-sh3135.html

If I missed something (failed at searching) and should be directed elsewhere I'd appreciate the help. I'm not the best at this forum stuff - working on getting better lol.

Actually doesn't exist a ym 40mm ceramic bezel, black dial rubber strap and red second hand.
The only one available is 42mm with silver second hand

Ok, I'm very new to this and have read dozens of forum pages. I'm looking for a YM with the Rhodium dial.

I'm probably looking to keep it ootb for now at least. Do I have it correct that Noob is the concensus over the ARF? Or now it is ARF over Noob because of the new DW?

Also, what about the movement. I've been leaning towards the A2824 over the SH3135 because of the reliability. But I just read that the Noob now has the VR3125. All of the noobs I've seen had the SA3135. Is the VR3125 better?

The plethora of combinations is mind boggling. (that is, someone with more experience please point me in the right direction) LOL

Sorry. Just looking to keep it light. I'm very new to reps and it's rather confusing when you're unfamiliar with the variety and combinations of the products. Thanks

ARF DW now is perfect!
For platinum version ARF is more near to gen 116622, Noob have color dial similar to 16622 version. I chose ARF for the platinum version.

The watch in the picture is ARF, right? Looks gorgeous :) Thanks.

Just got this back from a RG wrap by local gold shop. Planning to franken it but I spent the money for gen parts on something else. Should I keep or sell?

Brand new Noob sent for wrap job immediately after receiving it. Was suppose to upgrade it with Gen xtal, gen dial, gen DW and VR3135
