THE BATTLE OF THE SD43's - 126600 - ARF v3 VS Noob v10

[matty1938]

Great review, always wanted the arf, only thing that puts me off any Rolex with the bezel are the bezel teeth, I know there reps but always seems the biggest tell to me, you can see the flatness in between the teeth, maybe a dremel in between would polish it up in the middle a bit lol

You can wrap a cape cod cloth around the edge of a business card or credit card - and polish the space between the teeth. This works a bit better on Noob watches than on ARF because of the way the scallops are cut. But it's still an improvement.

Thanks She looks great and If I can get my hands onto some more gen parts (bezel assembly, dial) I will be super super excited/happy!

 

[Sonofalich]

The noob dial has blue shades ... is it me or ?

Do you remember how we were wondering about the blue shades?

Mystery solved... nothing to do with the watch...

My new phone 'OnePlus 7t PRO' is bright blue on the back of it... I noticed this 'phenomenon' in other pictures. It's a reflection of the blue back...
haha...

Good Morning,

I have not found such a thread concerning the DSSD D-Blue watch.
Are the Noob and ARF also the best similar replicates for the DSSD D-Blue?

Have a nice day.

No idea, ask in their respective threads tbh.

Is the case the same size on both watches? Pure Time description says the Noob is 43 x 15 mm where as the ARF 44 x 18. I don’t know if that seems right.

 

[Sonofalich]

Youre looking at the DSSD. Make sure you're looking at the 126600 for both. You're not. And this isn't the right place to post this either.

Vicar69 if i remembered correctly, u do have a franken sd43 too right? Lol

 

[Mr.DK]

At first I was so close to order an ARF V3 Sea Dweller rep, but now I'm sure not that won't be a dissapointing experience?
After reading some feedbacks from rep owners I have a feeling that the mechanical parts are relatively unstable and shortlived?
I mean are my expectations too high if I imagine a watch which will last for years without headache?
How good are the reps when it comes to keeping time?

This isn't the right place for this drivel, flame-free, noob zone is where you should be posting this inane garbage.

I do indeed. It’s with ssteel atm being polished. But when it’s back I’ll do some comparison shots before I sell it.
It’s such a hybrid of arf noob and gen I am not sure how much comparison value there is but there you go.

I did not write anything for or against Noob...just wanted to know if the movements in reps are ok or nothing to write home about?

i guess the movements in most reps are the same ones?
No flame, just a plain and simple question.

Nice! Cant wait to see the comparison on the franken vs gen!
