Have their bracelets improved? I’ve heard mixed things in the VRF/Noob submariner argument. I own the noob v9 sub, and my jeweler couldn’t tell without a loupe, against a gen. Either way, curious to see the new VRF

Glad VRF is back. Is this LV insert the same as the MAX version?

For me personally, VRF is a good base for mods. I ordered both (LN - LV) and they are already on their way to me!

Looks brilliant, SEL will need some work to be recessed.

How did you fit the 3135 movement into vrf max case ? Doesn't it come with 2836 ?

Nevertheless looks brilliant mate. Fan of your work.

You also had the arf subs, will be good to get some feedback once you have the vrf in your hands .

Looks really good to me. The triangle marker at 12 o‘clock sits at a nice distance to the top. Really gen-like.
Please when anybody receives his watch make more photos in different light conditions.

Here in the video side view we can see the missing angle of the CGs. Only ARF and Noob have got this angle.

Gen for explanation. Look at the yellow lines for illustration.

It‘s possible to reshape the CGs. I did this on my VRF Max. Look here:

BTW: For Max owners this is a good occasion to shave the inner CG area a bit more gen like to hide the incorrect eta crown position.

All in all this new VRF3135 has got a really nice case. But it‘s important to get a case with correct symmetry. Some Max cases have got a noticeable unsymmetry. You won’t notice that on the wrist but it‘s there.
And there are still mostly flush SELs. That’s the harder part to rework.

That’s what I mean. On the VRF case you only cann suggest this angle. Gen is much more marked.
Noob and ARF did this right.
