Hi Cheeps, I checked your end links and the serials match correctly. Regarding the clasp you can generally tell by the finish and fit. Send me some pictures.

This is the watch I'm creating mate.

I got Tomrep to replate the 116500 but thinking of getting the 116508 or 116518 and replating those if necessary.

How's the plating holding up?

I love your builds. Only thing you’re missing is a 116515 (with RG bezel, not ceramic bezel). Please tell me you’re working on one to show us.

Thanks mate. I am actually having another two builds going on. Not rose gold though. Will be super franken spec wise(all gen except movement). 116503 and 116520.

Teaser pic for one :p

The plating is hold up great so far. Only the weight is the concern but looks fantastic on wrist :p

Just a quick question to the Noob/ARF spezialists;

Do the ARF V2 hands (hour/minute) fit the Noob and vice versa?

Problem is I want to switch the ARF white dial to my Noob v3, Noob has green lumen, ARF has blue lumen!

Thanks
Marty
