ARF Batman Prototype

Even gen had misaligned rehaut engraving too. Zoom it u will see. This is newest model submariner.

These are perfectly aligned rehaut, and you know why? Because they are 3D rendering not pictures. Now it does happen once in a while that a gen's rehaut engraving is misaligned, but it doesn't mean that it should be considered normal. So if you're ok with it good for you, personally, that's something that I can't unsee.

So this doesn’t have the timebomb movement ?

No, like the 116710 from ARF it has the SH3186

Good to know , thanks

Isn’t this ARF movement garbage as well? I lose track, but think it had its own problems...

Ahhh balls !!! Here’s me getting all moist !

It's an ok movement, though not as solid as the vr3185. But it's miles better than the CHS timebomb from back in the days, and also if it breaks you can repair it. No risk to end up with an expensive paperweight

Thanks buddy. Will wait on some real life pics. If the bezel is sorted I’ll get one.

They really need to sort out the 18 bezel transition. Its a buyable watch if they fix that and the sharp markers.

IMO, SH3186 is a timebomb when you quick-set the jumping hour hand often to change date. I recommend mandatorily upgrading to a VR3186 movement to have reliability and better date font.

The insert looks like is the best available right now. The blue is closer to gen, transition not a nightmare. Of course, need to wait and see QC pictures.....

 

[kennygconspiracy]

This will have the same datewheel nightmare with the 116710LN. It WILL get stuck.

It’s already listed for sale. The blue in the 18 is a bummer..

Sigh, ARF owners must have relatives making the SH3186. It makes no sense to insist on using an inferior movement.

Taking a cue from Noobs book...one step forward two steps back

The blue in the 18 isn't perfect but in person it really isn't relevant, in fact it's extremely hard to spot by eye. Nobody complains about the Noob pepsi bezel transition point but that insert is arguably the best.

What are the odds Jimmy from accounting calls you out because they could see a spec of blue inside that 8?

Personally I think this is one of the best batman inserts available.
