That is about the best one you can buy from what i have read. If you want to wait a little they might comeout with the latest version that Rolex just released. In my opinion it look alot nicer than the earlier version

You mean the one with the wider bracelet? I went to our nearby Rolex AD yesterday to try out if my wrist could actually fit the size of the watch, and the lady told me that Rolex just released a new version with a 2mm wider bracelet, they only had one D-Blue with the old bracelet I could try.

yes wider bracelet and narrower lugs I think it looks dimensionally more appropriate for the size of watch

I agree. I hope they will replicate it soon. I really want the watch, and going to the store yesterday didn’t help my patience. Also I don’t know if you know this but, what’s the SH3135 movement like? As far as I know that is the one where you can fit gen parts if anything breaks. But what is the stock movement like?

Its a rep movement of the Rolex 3135. i believe it does take some gen parts. i have one and i like it alot. most of the people who got early ones got ones that were temperamental. That hasnt been my experience

auskip07 I agree with the older SH3135... but the great thing about that movement is once you start swapping out GEN parts with it, they become extremely reliable. I have one in my JF 16610 with Gen reversers and it works like a dream.
WOTS I currently have a super rep 116660 from Noob, but like anything else the more you mod it the happier you'll be with your watch (I'm super OCD about the details hence I keep modding them till I feel like it's perfect in my world)... Since I have a few Gen Rolex watches I didn't mind the DSSD with the A2824 that it came with since swapping it out with an ETA 2824 would be really easy to source... Also since it's a rather large watch it wasn't something I would wear all the time so having the 'high beat' wasn't going to bother me with the 2824... After having it for a few months I swapped out the A2836 and dropped in an ETA2824 and a WSO990 gen spec crystal... now the downside is the bracelet clasp is terrible on the Noob due to a gap where the clasp closes... so currently I'm the hunt for a better Glidelock clasp....

I ordered the ARF black 116660 with SH 3135 Movement.

I think it’s the way to go. If the Movement brakes you can change to gen parts and get a very great Movement with gen reversing wheels.

The Hands, Ceramic insert, Bracelet is way more better than the Noob! Caseshape is better on the Noob but who cares? me not. :p

I ordered a D-Blue Dial from Noob and a Datedisc from Noob. These parts are better than the ARF.

I will also fully press the crystal in and center the OGEV Ring.

After that it’s a perfect rep and imo the best Version of the DSSD.

Have you had any experience with the SH3135 movement? I have heard quite mixed opinions on it, and since I have never had any reps before I have no real opinion on it yet. I just don’t wanna buy a movement that’s gonna last a week or so and then break down
