Here's my ARF with its new rubber strap. What do you think?

Maybe try a curved-end version with cyan or blue accent? By the way, ARF's blackhole effect is decent indeed.

It was a cheapish one from DHGate, really bought it so I could see what the YM looked like with the rubber strap. Really I need to find an Oysterflex strap with rounded ends for a good price.

Curious about the BPF and KSF versions, I don't see any threads about them or ever heard of KSF but they're pretty cheap on trustytime. The QC pics they posted look pretty good, but I'm curious if anyone has one or can speak to their quality.

Follow up from this. Here are the QC pics from Jtime.

Only things I noticed were the rehault very slightly off to the left and date window slightly to the left as well. For $252 I think that's acceptable.

Not bad at all for $252. Rehaut and DW can be centered via service. Not sure if it is lighting, but the Rhodium dial color is a bit off (should be darker shade). I also like the blue second hand, they got the color and dot size good. For Bezel/insert and SEL, Noob is still king ;)

Enjoy in good health!!

Thanks. I think part of it is lighting, the first few watches I got from JTime suggests the lighting for QC is a bit off. Sunlight also always gives a different color.

Plenty of options on Ebay ;)

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.

fyi

the latest production run seems to have the thick DW again
