This one not making too much noise? I think it’s the first ym with a bezel that looks nice from the factory, also with the 3135 so looks good to me.

Finally ARF updated to 904L. Insert looking good in pics (photoshop and lighting tricks), but IRL we will need TomRep PPM. They use SH, wish it was VR. As usual for ARF, the date font is horrendous.

For blue, I will take the ARF. For Rhodium, I am still choosing Noob (Amazing rehaut, great SELs, post COVID bracelets are very high quality and they are using VR with great DW)

Interring take. Would like your opinion (and others) on grey dial new arf vs, noob but factor in I have a gen datewheel and a xtal upgrade. Would noob or arf be the better overall base for those upgrades?

Grey (Platinum) dial - Noob replicate the 16622 which has the sparkly bits in the dial. ARF replicates 116622 which is more flat/matte finish. Look up the threads, lots of info on this. I am biased towards the Noob because I like the 5 digit dial.

Noob calls it 116622 but they replicate the 5 digit dial

Individual preference apart, wouldn't that make the noob less accurate as it's meant to be a 116622?

You have a good point. I don't know if Noob has recently swapped out to the 6 digit flat dial (mine was purchased in 2019 and has been frankened since then). But many Gen owners swap this sparkly dial into their 116622 (I see it on TRF all the time)

Anyone planning on picking up one of these? A side by side with tomrep or gen would be interesting.

I have talked to TDs.. nobody knew anything about an update on the bezel, supposed to remain the same as on previous versions

ive seen a few QC pics of the 2824 ARF and those bezels have been updated too

based on the statements of the TDs I’d wait for in-hand observations over QC pics

is the font weight correct? or too bold?

Strange... According to the video on the reddit post https://youtu.be/Ksuu9h33B3U , the crown turning direction for time adjustment is not correct.

For this ARF 116622 advertise as it uses SH super clone movement. However,
the video shows the hands are turning counter-clock-wise while the crown turns clock-wise. The hands should turn clock-wise when the crown turns clock-wise, as same as gen, if it uses SH super clone movement as it is advertised on the recent new release from ARF.

Any Rolex expert please comment?

The reddit posted bezel insert looks aweful. Not sure if it is lighting from a wrong angle but the digits fonts are all wrong. Sticking to my Noob for Rhodium (even though it’s more of the 5 digit bezel fonts, at least its super accurate)
