116610LN V9 vs ARF breakdown

[Tacotuesday]

Looks great to me. Only thing I can see personally being off with that model is the white paint on the insert. Though it seems like that's a simple mod to fix.

As for the top picture the watch is 15.5 seconds fast a day and I believe the beat error is 0.2 (not sure how that all works to be honest)

Did the TD water test the watch for you?

I was going through this hard to pick phase till one of my watches with a 3135 movement broke down and found cost of parts are $$$. So i decided to go ARF while my best friend went with V9.

Video says it all.

V9 is on the left. Spongbob bezel paint mod plus prof black hole crystal.

ARF on right Spongbob bezel paint mod plus prof black hole crystal. Gen dial dw.

My question is...i noticed crowns are different.ARF Looks bigger and stiffer feeling. So which is correct? Shall i go gen crown on ARF?

V9 over the arf. The arf I had was garbage co.pared to the v9. I sold the v9 a d have the spongebob and prof xtal on my v9. No regrets.

Honestly after handling both in hand. I have no idea why many were going mad over the ARF. Noob with no mods did look immaculate!

Because the v9 standard insert looks nothing like gen.

Noob v9 is great for modding

Tigerdragon but ARF stock insert was very white. A none watch friend even spotted that.

but has a slightly grey tone it it, the v9 is just not the right color not even close.

I find the pearl to be off on the noobs, it's slightly pointy and I can't get past it.

Failed miserably at 3Bar! Should be able to fix that hopefully, the 15s/d is a little woeful too, TD wouldn't adjust it so i'll guess ill have to! still looking forward to it tho...

The funny thing is that everyone is focused on Noob and ARF, while nobody mentions these best subs from that other factory.

What??

Sorry mate, I didn't save it in favs. Could be it was somewhere in the big arf 2824 thread by occb2.
