I’m assuming that since I can’t find the ARF 122660 on any of the TD’s website that it’s no longer obtainable through them and only available m2m? :C

Need some advice for build franken subc

right now i own arf 2824 version

but i would like to build franken with gen xtal and DW with 3135 movement

should i buy arf 3135v2 and put genxtal and dw on it then sell my arf 2824

or should i buy noobv9 and put gen xtsl and dw then swap bezel from arf to instsll with noobv9

buy noob v9..gen like case..swap over good arf items like insert and bracelet. No need for DW as v9 is good, install gen crystal. I like ARF hands better but Noob v9 is already gen like.

I follow why someone would wanna get a prettier case than the arf. That made me change my mind and go with vrf with prof xtal instead. It seems like the bracelet and sels on arf are unmatched, though. I cannot unsee the low crown position on a2824 so I prefer 3135.

Makes sense. I’ve yet to own a vrf but have seen so much good about them

Yeah well my watch is still in the pipeline. Watch and xtal ordered. Then off to service and xtal replacement once they arrive. I’m excited to see It once it’s ready.

the reason is

1.i already own 2824 so i want to try 3135 due to i understand that 3135 accept gen part with out mod but still not sure about reliability of 3135 movement

I see. I don’t know if the ARF accepts all gen parts, movement yes, the case I don’t know as it was just released a couple of months back. Some people had said they have issues with the sh3135 and some don’t. If you service it right away you won’t. I had mine for about three years now and no issues, I have a sh3135

What gen parts do you want to add? Except for movement part you can do a lot with your current 2824. You can put a gen crystal, a gen datewheel, a gen insert for example

Is the gap I circled unusual, or does it just look big because of the angle of the picture? Everything else looks fine to me except for the usual ARF bezel engraving/DW font flaws.

Guys,

What is the best choice these days? I cant decide between VRF vr3135 and ARF 2824.

How is the vr3135 movement so far?

I just cant unsee the crown position on the 2824 although i like the arf dial more. I cant unsee the bold metal on the round hour markers on the vr3135 or am i the only one seeing that?

It all comes down to which flaws you can live with. I prefer the vrf case and correct crown position. I’ll throw in a prof xtal, though. Others may feel diffrently. You gotta decide for yourself what you can accept. None of them are perfect.

I should probably mention that my vrf vr3135 is still on it’s way so I haven’t seen it first hand yet.
