Yes they are a TD, new in the TD section under new/probation. They have been trusted at RWG for a while.

Cool, Francis also responds quickly to PM's, very good service so far. And they will communicate with you when factories are creating the hold up, as I am still waiting for my QC for the ARF V2 bracelet I ordered about 2 weeks ago.

other than the better SEL on the ARF, is there anything else superior to the bracelet over the Noob V9?

got an email back from Francis and he said ARF don't make a 904l bracelet... so I linked him to one on intime, not sure if it a 904l one you were after so just to let you know as you have ordered.
I’ve bought both V9 and ARF, and I’ll tell you that the ARF class operates much better (nice round solid snap) and is polished better on the sides and corners. Still not up to gen level (sometimes too much metal shaved off), but you see the effort, where as noob will just cut your hand with the sharp edges and corners.
However, the gap between the top part of the clasp and the coronet fold over is larger, not as tight as noob.
But the noob clasp coronet is completely crap...I’ve handled two and the coronet is constructed different than ARF/Gen, it’s so thick you can barely stick your thumb into the space and flip it open. I chipped my thumbnail twice.
Overall the ARF class is the definitive winner.
Oh and I tried fitting ARF bracelet on the noob. It’s a hit and miss, and I think the problem is a combination of SEL size and spring bars. Sometimes you will get SEL fitment that looks downright fugly. So buyer beware.
But last thing to consider is that the mid section SEL on the noob bracelet sticks out wayyyyy tooo long. Makes the watch look “longer” on the wrist and doesn’t wear as nicely as the ARF.

Bracelet wise I’d prefer 100% ARF. But my last post outlines all the pros and consZ Hope that clears up all confusions.

Ok anyone else here order an ARF bracelet from mr TimeZone? They sent me an invoice for a bank transfer and I asked if I could
pay via PayPal to avoid bank fees although I haven’t been a member On here for a year yet... this was given tho go ahead by Cindy? So I made payment but didn’t hear back in a day so I sent Francis a PM on here and he said he has no knowledge of my payment? I have sent him my order Id and the email address used but he hasn’t gotten back to me yet.. I am hoping it is just a miscommunication somewhere but I am starting to worry.

I would not worry, MRTIMEZONE is a good TD, it will get sorted. Unfortunately, Oct 1-7 is a national holiday in China and most businesses will be closed. If you dont hear back promptly that would be the likely reason.
