Its ETA based look at the auto wind module/reversing wheels.

Ok and on which ETA is it based given that no ETA has the independently adjustable hour hand? This is as ETA based as the Omega 8400/8500 super-clone from VSF.

Wow very stark difference in bezel pics between intime and puretime...almost wonder if puretime overexposed the pics or increased the lighting. Bezel looks meh over at intime. Blue is still wrong (How does this get ignored in each and every update?)...price increase not justified (even if its 904L). I just bought the LN v8 for $358...Id rather have a good bezel insert than 904L.

I hope ARF can come through, but their latest 116622s are disappointing

For Batman bezels light, camera angle , the same type of camera do an huge difference even for the same gen batman. On a FB page everyday I can see lots of gen Batman pics ( or supposed GEN lol) in the morning, in the wild, in the night, in a room etc: any pic cannot show the same colors.

It’s an A2836 with a gmt module and modified balance bridge. I’m not arguing with you, it’s a fact. Please stop, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

Was about to pull the trigger on PT on another watch now their photos of the new Noob BLNR gave me pause. I have always wanted this watch to be right and to have one but that bezel transition has been horrible on nearly every version of this watch ever put out to date. Puretime photos of the watch look significantly better - is the 904L worth the upcharge I am not sure but the bezel is noticeably better. The blue color shifts depending on the light and the only way to fairly compare the two is to put the gen and the Noob side by side in the same lighting conditions with the same camera (no filters or adjustments). Friend of mine has the gen version of this and indoors in a bar/restaurant the blue looks nearly black - in direct light though it looks amazing.

I am curious if the CHS reliability has improved - most people were chasing the ICHS because they were more reliable in the past.

Its accepted scientific law that the Noob batman insert blue is lighter than gen...this has been tested and peer reviewed. Audit trail can be found on RWI.

We are trying to get if the newest v9 Bezel is far better or not than the past releases. Intime v9 pics look not good as usual, Puretime pics show a very improved bezel. IMHO.

i would wait for arf and their clone movement, it should be released in a couple of months. don't waste time and money on a timebomb

Better in the sense that the transition has been very minorly improved, color is still completely wrong. I would trust the intime pics over the puretime pics.

Puretime has a video up that gives clearer view of the transition...PTs pics dont accurately show it, but the video does (at least more so). There is a thread here that shows the gen and v7 or v8 side by side, and the OP confirmed Noob blue is too light.
