What does "wokky" mean? That's not even a word.

He means the circumference of the rehaut is smaller at the bottom than the top. So its like a wok. More like a pan if you ask me but i never came up with it. Either way, its fine apart from the alignment of the engraving with the minute markers on the left side.

hi guys i got my qc photos from puretime for the 16610 LN ARF 904L with A2824 movement,
notice the markers on insert at 35, its really close to the dial compared to others. Markers at 5 and 15 are too far from the dial. Do you guys think it's worth to redlight? thanks for any inputs!
Looks good accept it

What really holding me back is the blue hue on the magnification i mean it looks so strange and i know its on some gen too but thats not the point i would never buy a gen with such an issue. I hope they can fix that.

Been on my wrist for a day now - its not something I’ve noticed. The watch is in a different league to my V7’s - a really nice rep.

Get gen or prof crystal? There is no way I would spend $500 on such a rep and not treat it to an upgraded crystal.

Oh also friction plastic ring. Hydro ring I think it is called. $30 dollar little thing. Fakes don't work well.

Thank you!! Refer to my other post where I have included a picture of all the parts that are included.

It's not just the 35, its the whole left side. Look at 55 compared to 5. This has been a characteristic of the ARF insert since this version arrived, highly unlikely you could get one without this. Honestly though, once it's on the wrist you 'shouldn't' notice it. My BP Hulk has the same characteristic and I never even noticed it til this ARF version came out. Now that I know about it, I still don't notice it. Look at how close to the crystal ALL my markers are - OMG!

thanks for the response, I went ahead and greenlit it after spending hours going through every page of this thread...it seems like the insert marker flaws are common on these new ARF 904L A2824, some have it worse than the others.

yeaa that bug me in the beginning, but then i remember that this watch is only 41mm, so the difference among the gaps between the insert markers and dial is not really noticeable. Everything else looks good on it, puretime sent me some additional photos of the datewheel showing 2-digit dates, and they look great.

Me too. Not worn a sub for a while. My no date has broken down and the Hulk hasn't had much love since I saw a real one...

This one is a different matter - its an incredible rep. Dat insert...

Is there a consensus that the insert on the ARF Hulk is a lighter and brighter shade of green than the V9? Can't really tell from photos. My V9 is pretty good but I'd like it more if it were a little brighter of a green, so I'd buy an ARF Hulk if the insert were brighter.

You should wait until someone who has a get hulk gives an opinion on either the ARF or Noob.
It doesn't matter what it looks like in a photograph as the green on the gen is out of gamut.
