Here’s mine waiting for approval. You can likely guess my reply....

smoke am I right that this VRF3135 and the GMF3135 share the same BP case but are different in bezel insert and color?

ARF became less interesting for me. The boxy lugs and misplaced insert engravings are giveaways.

The VRF Max has got a better crown position with 2836 than ARF‘s sub with 2824. And ARF3135 hasn‘t got the correct crown position, too. Don’t understand this.

So I think this new VRF3135 has got great potential. Hope they will get rid of these SEL gaps and can do a bit more recessing SELs.

Do you guys think that Noob will change their SA3135 into SH3135 for future versions ? V10 etc

is the blue tint on the cyclops normal? gen shouldnt have this, right?

Gen doesn't have blue tint.

That isn't 100% true. I have seen real crystals with a blue tint throwing me off. But they were brand new and sealed. I discussed this with a few watch makers that I know and they have also seen it.

I just got pics from my TD with my VRF hulk. I will compare to my real one when I get the watch. It normally takes 5 days to get to me.

smoke, did BP come out with a 116610 3135 and does it have the movement notch cut out inside? I didnt think they did. The VRF does.

Date and pearl look ok, the photo isn't dead on, looks a bit like its been taken more from the left. The insert doesnt look good but could be dirty ?

I have to agree with this, I have a gen Xtal installed on my ARF which I got new blistered.

The blue tint is pretty evident.
