I asked Mr Time Zone and he quoted 110/120$ for an ARF sub bracelet. Plus shipping
Vvvlllooo oh man! You may have convinced me to build an identical one to yours... but actually why don’t you just sell me yours? Haha

KJ2020 do you have news? Will the sub no date by arf be released soon? thank you
I have no news besides what people post here. I did however just complete fixing a recent M2M no date Noob V8. The watch came to me in a lot worse shape than I anticipated, I didn't pick up on the lug dents in the pics as they weren't disclosed and the case condition was described as "excellent". Well it is now after about 6 hours of sanding, shaping and polishing, lol. Also the crystal was scratched, I replaced it with a Clarks and a thinner gasket, it sits lower.
You can see the lug shape on the Noob is a little closer to gen I think. SELs aren't horrible but will need some modding for more recess when I can get to it.
Jpme take a look at the 904L vs 316L bracelet pic, I can't tell a difference in any light. Maybe you could get away with this model as your base. The no date rep crystal is really good enough IMO, since there's no AR on the gen anyway. I have the Noob V9 date which is where the 904L bracelet piece came from. Maybe Noob is just charging more for the same pieces, sure looks the same to me!
Ok, received the BP 114060 that I will use for the dial and movement.
The movement is super healthy so I’m going to give it a couple weeks to see if it stays stable or grenades.
I’m pleased with the dial, crown, cgs, and case. The bezel assembly is better than expected.
My only beef is the lower band links are flat and sharp. Not sure if the picture picks it up well but, I’ve had this problem in the past.
I have an ARF bracelet on its way so hopefully we take a leap forward with better SELs, links and clasp.
From there I’m putting gen hands on it.
If I’m happy with the bezel assembly, I’ll hold and be in the thing for $885.
Unfortunately, the BP bezel won’t accept a gen insert and the BP case won’t take a gen bezel assembly.
If not, here comes the v9 noob case, bezel, gen crown, xtal, and gen insert/pearl. That will ring the bell at $1750 but, will be right where Ultimate lives.
Thoughts?

Now let’s see if a gen bezel fits and I can skip the Noob case.

Fits beautifully. SELs are recessed perfectly. No gap.
It’s official, ARF 904l 116610 bracelet fits the BP 114060 perfectly.
Now let’s see if a gen bezel fits and I can skip the Noob case.

Why not just use a gen insert and keep the BP bezel? You can polish up the bezel teeth and make it look more or less "gen-like"
Nice watch and all, but I kinda want to see that V!
