Hopefully this has not been discussed yet.

PT just released the only YM in 904L by ARF, in all 3 colours.

Looks like the bezel lettering is now fixed. Markers are still pointy, datewheel and alignments look good, maybe noob have a new contender for the best 116622?

I've heard it's a VR3135, but I cannot tell the difference (I haven't spend much time looking into it)

This looks really good, but I would be hesitant going for this over Noob cause Tomrep/Spongebob has better experience modding those... this is a tough decision

The NOOB YM is still using the wrong seconds sweeping hand. The circle before the tip of the needle is still small.

What do you all think about the movement in the ARF VS NOOB? I have been reading extensively and it seems the NOOB movement isn't as desirable when it comes to service and gen mods...

 

[LeonRider]

From online pictures the ARF looks a lot better than the Noob. ETA movement, better cyclops mag, the brushing and polishing looks better on the case and bracelet.

It's just hard to tell if the Rhodium dial is better than Noobs now. And again, my main concern is compatibility with Tomrep/Spongebob since they have so much practice on Noobs.

 

[peerken]

what are the thoughts about the font of the dw ? Also too fat or not.

Oooph, this is looking good. I just need to see a real life review of the rhodium dial as Noob was always superior with this

Not as nicely finished then the gen, sadly!

Definitely not, but, that's what the spongebob / tomrep bezel mod is for.

But I don't know if they need some experience on these ARF bezels for some fine tuning, while they have a lot of experience with Noob...

Tom or bob mod is no perfect as well. I see many not good done examples. Very ugly

I don't know dude, I've seen some great looking ones on here. Totally good enough for me, and for the average person looking at your wrist.

Hi everyone, new to the forum but reading a lot and trying to make my culture as well. I am waiting for this specific watch from PT (A2824 116622 ARF). I was considering if in case of movement failure the A2824 could be replaced with the famous sellita w200 and, if possible, how to deal with the date wheel.

Thanks everyone.
