Is this Noob or ARF? I want to pull the trigger on this model but torn whether to go with ARF or Noob. :/

Rhodium dial Noob
Blue dial Arf
Platinum dial Arf (New Noob it is more similar to 16622)

In my opinion ;-)

if build quality is of concern, the ARF has a little edge on all models, especially with regards to bracelet and clasp

That gap might be narrowing though. The posy covid Noob bracelets have had much better quality. Tad more heavier, polish is better and most importantly the open/close of clasp is vastly improved. The shape of coronet in clasp and curved area under clasp in ARF is still better (gen like looks).

yes, I’ve heard that too. do you know if this step up also applies to the older noob models that are on discount at trusty’s are the moment (316 SS)?

I would think that the progressively get better, but only on the newer releases..

No, it doesn’t. That is old stock and mostly gone. The models that I know with better bracelet (because I got them) is the new 904L YM and the 116500 v3 Daytona.

Based on reading this thread for 2 hours, it seems like ARF gets edge for blue YM which surprises me because Noob version is on nwbig list. Any body know how to send pm to this TomRep member for a bezel mod?

Noob Rhodium dial is NWBIG. Just change second hand (or live with the smaller dot) and do the TomRep mod.

Yes he mentioned that the premium mod has a new mixture that is more of a 1:1 match of the color hue of the gen. The standard mod is a little colder relative to gen color
