use picr.me to upload pictures
Ebay is not the best place to buy gen parts, a lot of scammers so beware

The case shape is so wrong.

"Dial/hands by v9"

Why V9 hands? They are pretty much crap compared to ARF.

for only 20 usd I buy the hands too, for luminesce (to avoid differences with dial)

for case, I'll tell to johnny to smooth the lugs and make them like gen

the case is not the best you've seen around. But changing the most important parts (crystal, dw, insert, dial) will overshadow and become very difficult to notice.

My only perplexity is about the arf hands with noob dial

normally the lume should be the same? ARF did an amazing job on the hands in my opinion i never understood what people meant with "3D Gen Style" after i own a 2824 myself i can finally now see it. I had noob versions before and the hands look straight flat, the ARF has a 3D effect like gen :)

I can confirm that in this photo the camera has altered the perspective

Look these: SX MY ARF / DX GEN

I think that with a brushing the lugs will become slightly softer, without the "rough" processing edges

I've been on the sideles for a while now and just took a closer look at this new ARF attempt.
I have to say they've almost nailed the case and some aspects of the bracelet that have never been addressed by any other maker till now.
Talking case and bracelet alone, i seriously think this is by far the best candidate for a franken ... a pretty scarry one i might add.

Cgs look better than noob v9 as well.

I wear it and watch it for two days, I can say that the build quality is really very high, the steel is very satin and beautiful to see as a true 904, the insert has a brilliant black that really looks like the gen, dial, hands and crystal are very nice.. The bracelet, the sel and the buckle are extraordinary.

It is incredibly near to the gen.

The only tellcan be the case, too angular, but a brushing / polishing is sufficient to soften and give more roundness to the lugs.

It's a magnificent out of the box.

I think that after putting crystal, insert and dw gen, and dial of v9, with general brushing, the result will be great.

I have also observed the hands of the v9 well and I can say that they are made well as the arf, with great probability I will also fit those.

If you want I can post photos of the hands and dial by noob v9.
