Hmm, insert looks decent. Still in Noob camp for BLNR for now, but ARF is coming along. Just need to fix the case and use a VR.

The insert looks very good. The blue color, the marker thickness, and the color transition points are all good. Some minor indications of speed bumps, but shouldn't be too noticeable on the wrist. Tbe datewheel looks good. The hands are awesome as always and it looks like the hour markers have a little curve to the corners finally.

The SH3186 movement is a significant deterrent if it wasn't changed. The VR3185 is so much better, and ARF hands don't always fit properly. Maybe that's why ARF hasn't made the switch. Personally I can't justify a purchase knowing what a movement and hands swap entails. Better off buying a VRF or new Noob V11 and swap in the ARF insert. Here we go again.

This ARF has the wrong CGs for a 116710. The CGs changed pretty significantly on the 126710, ARFs cases were obviously modeled after them. This won't bother some people but it's there if you care. This won't be a factor when ARF releases the 126710's.

Insert markers in the black are noticeably thinner than the ones in blue. Arghh.

^ This, that was my first observation too. They got the 1 serif font correct, the 18 transition corrected but the blue color is a lighter shade (maybe its TD harsh LED lighting)

I was getting excited to order but then my hopes deflated :(
