ARF vs VRF - GMT II 116710LN (clone 3186) - GAMECHANGING BATTLE.

[LuoIsBoss]

Hi!

As we know ARF and VRF just released their 116710LN! Both with clone movements SH3186 and VR3186!

What are your thoughts?

Both looks like bangers!

ARF: https://puretimewatch.io/featured-p...4l-steel-arf-1-1-best-edition-sh3186-chs.html
VRF: http://www.trustytime02.cc/index.ph...=20650&zenid=11347fe5ac52e0e0a3435a12a331c441

They're priced almost the same!

mmm:

arf pro: better cg. better sel better crown better bezel numbers
cons: suck dw (i think rehaut too) , bad quality of green stamp on the gmt hand


vrf pro: better dial , dw
cons: cg, crown, sel

IMHO

Do we really need 3 threads on this? 4 if you count the VRF thread

What about the lugs? I really like the VR lugs - nicely angled!

VRF's movement also looks better, even though I think I'll go with the ARF because of their famous bracelet and since the DW can be changed for the real thing...

 

[LuoIsBoss]

I'm going to franken one.

So whats important for me is: Lugs, SELs, CGs, rehaut and bracelet.

LuoIsBoss looking forward to the end result ! I will do the same, ARF 116710 with GEN DW, dial, hands, xtal, bezel and insert. Going ARF will spare me from buying a GEN bracelet.

I didn’t see its...maybe after in office i will do a comparison of the photos that shows puretime...even if they shared the same exactly “cg & crown photo “
for ARF and VRF .

 

[Hidenjoy]

What is the Ref for the Gen DW ? Where to buy

 

[thrillofhunt]

The amount of threads on this......

The amount of threads on this......

The ARF threads have been merged. What remains at this point is this thread, the VRF and the ARF. Since it's two different factories.

ARF GMT bracelet would be perfect fit into a Noob CHS case? I just finished a 116710 noob franken

Nvm...

Arf Font is s**t

VRF for base Franken due to movement surely?

 

[Saul Goodman]

The problem with the VRF as a base is that we dont know yet if its possible to fit another bracelet to it. In the past it was too narrow.

I know ARF Sub bracelet fits new Noob CHS case beautifully. I had to use thinner spring bars. Snug fit, no play. Perfection.
