Mate you just created 2 threads to ask who has the best this and who has the best that. That's not really how things work here. There's a lot of information readily available to you but there's an expectation that newbies do a bit of homework, search and read. Do you know how many times a year your question is being asked?

I suggest you look for the threads on the noob v9 and the arf 2824. Yes they're long but I'm doing you a service by advising you to read and make up your own mind.

Hi welcome

Let's push the doors of RWI library to find the best sub, use search bar such as a tool !

Have a good reading

You have 2 threads already, do you also want to know who makes the best Daytona and best GMT ?

I am also new here, everything you are looking for is present on this forum. If you have taken the time to make these posts, take the time to read/search around also.

And btw, the best factory for DJ41 and Sub is R factory.

The top factories are NOOB and ARF. Try to get a rep with the 2836/2824 movement in it so that you can service it locally.

I bought a NOOB V9 with the Swiss 2836 movement.

Everyone has different standards for BEST. You'd better have your own opinion after reading some posts in this forum. It would be more helpful for you

There is no BEST factory.
I wish there is, but it's like some factory has done bezel insert well, but the dial is not good, and the other factory has done dial well but the bezel is bad.
All like that.
So, you should know what you prioritise the most for Submariner.
Is it steel quality? bezel? dial? Datewheel?
Or u can just buy like 3 Submariners from all different factories and disassemble and assemble the good parts together.

The three most popular factories are,
Noob, ARF and VRF for Submariner i reckon.

Hope this helps a bit.

R FACTORY is best, 1:1 quality but they have a long wait time of up to 2 years :(

Thank you sorry about that, I just opened my account last week and haven’t really looked into the forums yet.
I think I will go for the R factory like most of you recommend.
