I think that all of our guessing and all of our view are just us being anal and over looking. We as a hobby have come to the point that we are looking at angles of lugs. LOL. They look good. If not take a Dremel too it and make it right, I for one cant wait to measure them. I have with the V6 and V7 noobs and they were all on point. I cant see ARF messing up like that. But who knows. Maybe they are off by .00001 mm. lol. Look at the SEL! Look at the color of the insert! Look at the crystal! Look at the crown! Look at the dial! Look at the 3D hands! Look at the rehaut engraving and angle! WOW, I have more pics of the clasp and stuff. But I will wait till I get the watch in hands. Pictures say 1000 words but pictures at the correct places say a story!

occb2 , that's a real cool specimen. Generally speaking, it's the best OOTB thus far.
Hopefully when the "smoke ARF SH3135" comes out, the ff clear tells (from your QC pic above) are eliminated:
1. Triangle in insert is oversized
2. Is it just me, or is the "50" (and even the "55th marker) about to fall off the (lower) edge of the insert
3. Better fitting or shorter tube. As it is, crown appears unscrewed --- or rather, not completely screwed in. I know in the 5-digit gen (at least in my 16613LN), a tiny but visible "gap" is present, but not sure in the 6-digits.
Looking forward to your side-by-side comparison with gen!

Shower thought: considering earlier discourse on how the light plays over the SELs as being a potential tell, those with genuine OCD (not the "I've diagnosed myself and claim I've got OCD") would find this hobby particularly challenging.

I’m glad your excited and positive about this release.
I’ve watched the Videos and looked over all the online pictures over and over.
It looks better than the new Noob to me.
Yes it has minor little flaws but it looks really really good to me.

Since ARF is making 904L Rolex, I don’t buy from any other factories, Noob, VRF orWTF Factory, I don’t give a f**k, lol

I remember when smoke and I were joking a couple of years ago that reps might have 904l steel one day. We both laughed and agreed that would never happen whatsoever. Look where we are right now 
I've asked days ago to puretime if they know when arf will release the 3135 version they answered me this morning : "Sorry, ARF doesn't have exact time for releasing SH3135 sub.They are updating the lug and CG now "
so hope they took smoke advises !! Can't wait

A thread I read on a Rolex Forum suggests there should be a gap between the Crown and case - on the six digit too. There are a lot of threads on this point saying the same thing. It's worth signing up if you're not a member (you might not be able to view it if you're not a member).

There is a gap between the crown and the case. If you look at a triple locking crown there is a gasket resting on the inside of the crown. So that will not allow a crown too sit perfectly on the case. I have seen this on all 5 digit and 6 digit subs. I have seen reps where the tubes are not rolex spec and it enhances the space. Noob does a good job though. Their tubes are good. They kind of have too be. You can not just change them with a Rolex tube. You would have to re-tap and countersink the real rolex tube. Not an easy swap.
I can't wait too see the ARF. Truth be told on my ARF 122660 I didn't even change the crown and tube. They feel amazing and look great. From the looks of the QC pic the crown looks nice.
The really only bad about all the great work that ARF is doing, people are going too be using that word GEN a lot and people will have no clue. Myself included. They are getting really good with copies. Trying too keep up is a challenge. I thank god for Smoke and Tucker and a hand Trip. We really have a wealth of knowledge here at RWI!

Look at the crystal, No black Hole = Fake, then look at the Indices on the dial. Its pretty easy to spot fakes.
Yep, I know for sure that Sead got it in stock.
