Have ordered and received a ARF Rose Gold Yacht-Master which I was very pleased to get. However :headdesk: I did not heed the words of others citing that the watch strap is small. It is incredibly small and I can't even get my hand through it (I don't have farmers hands) also there was an issue with the date change not working on the second crown pull. As a result it has gone back to the TD and hopefully there will be a happy outcome.

PLEASE BE AWARE THE WATCH STRAP WOULD ONLY FIT A 6 inch wrist

Its a common problem with SH movement. I had problems with Date change on SH. Other people had that problems too.
unfortunately, all my SH movements, even after service, became pile of shit. I’m still hesitant to purchase another rep with SH movement.

So is this (in your opinion) better than the ARF? DW looks better, but hard to tell from anything else if its superior to ARF.

On another note, this is the first new Noob I've seen that isnt $100 more than its ARF equivalent!

Beter than bezel noob.

Are there any more pics of that new Noob YM?
its hard to see color and dial on perfect closes webpage. I’m wondering how is the contrast between crown Rolex logo (and all the wording) and black dial?

I've always been recommended to stay away from gold reps because the gold will likely fade and get ruined pretty quickly. What's you guys' opinion?

Pretty much true. I'm thinking about getting my Noob gold plated with a jeweler, but have really no idea how much that would cost

Not true with newer reps. I had RG APs and non of them got faded with time.
You don’t need to worry unless you will bang your RG reps against things or swim with them in the ocean.
