Thank you Smoke. After all this time and all the posts I’ve read it’s good to see these side by side comparisons. I’ve decided to have a little patience for these two to evolve and settle in. I’m definitely going to buy one of these. It seems that both have them strengths and I will wait to see when consistency and any additional evolution that is made. Either way it’s a good rep.
Thanks again for your time and effort.

So what's the verdict Smoke, which one is the better version, ARF or Noob?

The noob v9 and arf inserts are ever so slight diffent shade of green the arf looks a bit lighter than the v9.both inserts looks great.both are ever so slightly wrong compared to the gen but is getting real close now

the are insert green reminds me a bit of the logo Luis scammers insert

it's a tuff choice on what insert I prefer the v9 or the arf insert
they are both great and i would be happy with either insert

Some points taken from the video.

1. The arf is closer in weight to Gen as compared to noob
2. The arf bezel insert is better
3. Arf has slightly fatter minutes hands as compared to gen and noob
4. The arf has the same thickness to gen (12.5) while noob has a 13mm (though it may due to him measuring the one with A2836)
5. Arf has higher date magnification compared to Gen while noob has lower date magnification compared to gen.

They are arf shills in the video.they are just trying to promote it

Mate, are there dull and bright gen LV inserts??? I have seen only a few in the wild but nearly all of them were really bright apple green. Like the picture bellow. No way the gen in that video is anywhere near the same shade. It's my number 1 annoyance with the hulk reps. After watching that video I'm a bit stumped as the ARF looks even brighter than the gen. Do you know what's up

Thanks mate. Do you think the Gen in the video may not have a genuine insert?

Good details. The mag issue is not huge, since as several gen owners have pointed out, R fac has used crystals that vary. But as for a comparison between both models, at least until ARF releases a 3135 version, there's no comparison. CGs and crown position on the 2824 ARF are way off. No point worrying about date mag and insert engraving when the case is a major unfixable tell.

I’m saying it has a gen insert, it shines so much more than the rep inserts do

Just going to throw this in here - its almost pointless making comparison of the insert colour on a video / picture.

Theres a lot about the gen which cant be shown that way.

Anyone who has seen / owned a real one will know what I mean.
