Nice! The rehaut engraving looks better on the ARF than Noob. The ARF Bezel Nipple looks closer to Gen than Noob. The ARF bezel looks pretty close. The ARF Dial is pretty good for a rep. I didn't notice the difference in hands until the closeup side by side. So for 1000 Euro, the ARF Franken looks like a better deal than the Noob Franken. The only thing the Noob Franken over teh ARF Franken s the Gen Hands and Lume, but if you put gen hands on the ARF and Relume, you'd get a pretty good rep for less than the price of the Noob Fra nkenwith the ARF Franken.

(That's only me looking at the pictures. I'd like to hear from Noob and ARF Submariner owners)

Uuhh.. the v7 smokes the ARF in all regards - but an all stock comparison would be better imho.

I agree. I thought the ARF franken wasn't as good as the Noob franken.

dose anyone know gen crown come with tube or not

cause i want to fix crown problem that exceed from CG

 

[Holla09]

Wouldn’t a gen bezel insert in the ARF be a more necessary modification than the ones listed?

Great work there Keniath, thanks!

they are sold separately but if u just want to fix the stem height a modder could do it your tube i guess

each one prioritizes his needs, i am satified with the existing ARF bezel/insert. They are the best rep ones atm

Your sub looks mint mate. Best money spent on the mods. Bang for buck.

Noob V7 owner here. ARF clasp better than Noob IMO. Hands are better on Noob. Case looks better on noob. Neither insert is even close to Gen.

i agree. i plan to do the exact same mods on my ARF sooner or later.
its the best value for money i think. for 1.000 euros you can have an almost perfect sub that looks gen on the wrist to 99% of people

You will not regret it guys !
