Been browsing for ages and read nearly a million pages on the subject lol Was just about to purchase a Noob V9 SUBMARINER 116610 LV GREEN CERAMIC 904L but have just come across this [h=1]SUBMARINER 116610 LV GREEN CERAMIC VRF 904L[/h] https://www.intime03.co/rollie/5782...l-1-1-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-vr3135.html

Has anyone recieved one ? , any views if this is best ootb , it does look like it may be just as modable as the Noob but with a hopefully better ootb dial (according to some)

any views appreciated

cheers

I have never seen a detailed review of the LV or LN. I know the ultimate authority smoke does not think highly of the VRF, but I'd still be interested to see actual owner photos, particularly of the SEL fit.

no one is going to give you a definitive answer.

spoon feeding isn’t really a popular thing here either.

do research and form an opinion for yourself.

all major factories have an aspect that is better than the others, and some that are worse.

rolexppapfan I guess you are right, and this is new. I wonder if it is different from the 316 VRF 116610. That’s the one that is apparently not great. This one from JokerXue looks well executed, although the lugs have the same asymmetry as the Noob V9.

Mine is a V9 ???? not ARF. Even the "LEC" Is aligned so well..

I just got this a week ago, I have trouble keeping a charge. The movement will always have stopped by morning when I take it off at night.

Also, unless I rigorously shake the watch before wearing there is a high likelihood it will stop shortly after.

Has anyone else experienced this?

The movement is purportedly “Asian Super Clone 3135 Automatic Movement at 28800 vph Functions:“

Very annoying.

Yes I really like the new 3135 vrf sub c .It's actually a bp/gmf/vrf
but i want to know if this is gen construction at the bezel .shame dial is not period correct.but if you have a 2010 gen hulk and the dial needs replacing at Rolex they will install any dial therefore making your gen possibly not period correct

The movement listed in the original posters link is:

“Movement Asian Super 3135 Clone Automatic Movement”

Is this not the same?

Hm...this new VRF case seems to be different to the VRF MAX case with its overangled lugs. But look at these big gaps between case and SELs. The old VRF MAX hadn‘t had these gaps.

Here is a comparison of the lug shape near the crown. IMOP Noob‘s V9 is more accurate and aesthetic. VRF 904L:

Noob V9 has got these nice angled CGs:

Here VRF 904L SEL and gap again. Also look at the shape of bezel teeth:

Gen for comparison:

Noob V9 still wins for me. Better case and bezel shape. Only problem is getting decent SELs without gaps and with recessment. And the protruding mid section of the Noob SEL is a problem. Didn’t do a closer inspection of this part at the VRF until now.

Edit:

Comparison of protruding mid part of SELs:

VRF 904L:

Noob V9:

ARF:

IMOP ARF hit the nails.
