If you want too wear it right out of the box and use it as a beater and not get called on it, go for the ARF. While it Is an A2824 the bezel insert color is correct on the LV number engraving and the crystal hight is correct. If you NEED to modify it, yes the crystal can be changed. But If I were to waist money I would go for a date wheel overlay to make it more authentic looking. While it is good as is, the date wheel is lacking on 100% while the crystal is passable.
The BEST thing too do if you have the money is get both the noob V9 and the ARF. Flip the ARF bezel, throw in some rolex clicks and use the ARF clasp. Get a rolex date wheel and put in on the SA3135 and pop in a real CAR crystal. You will have a killer 116610 for under $1500 that will look and behave like a real 116610. If you want a beater get the ARF and leave it as is and wear it till it dies! Plain and simple. ARF is going to coming out with a 3135. I know smoke and I have been taking heavy with the owners and That might just be the one too wait for.
I have too say sorry about the LV. I have a real one. So every thing I am sent looks like shit compared too it. Dials inserts, just cant compare. They may get the color right on the ceramic but the engraving is wrong. Not one dial has the sunburst and the reflective of light too turn black as of yet. So I would hold off on the LV. Unless you get the noob 9 904 and get a real dial and real bezel and you will have a nice watch!.
