After receiving the arf batman I’m honestly quite disappointed. I think I’ve been spoiled by vsf recently. Crystal and DW are nothing compared to vsf and need replacing immediately. Bracelet is light and tinny in comparison to vsf. Squeaks and rattles just making it feel cheap. Overall finishing is decent but not close to vsf finishing. Another $500’worth of upgrades and it should be decent.

Yeah same. New Crystal and DW is the first thing and new movement most likely. The movement already crapped out on day 1. I’m picky but vsf hulk is literally fine ootb. No desire to change a thing.

Just approved QC pics on mine. I had given up on a good BLBR rep, but curious to see how it compares to my gen.

Either a gen or ARF C&R may be up for sale in a few weeks ????

GEN vs ARF (right)

I'm about to franken the hell of it, and all thing considered I'm more drowned by the noob 116710BLNR v11 midcase for my build ...

I'm normally not picky when it comes to CG but I can't stand ARF's ones. What are you thoughts?

Nice head to head, I believe ARF did great with looks so far I believe v2 would be a game changer. N e ways best bezel insert so far

ARF CG are correct for 116710 LN until 2009 and similar to 126710. Wrong for batman 116710.

thanks for sharing. What's your opinion on the insert colours? On the pics it looks very close but it's always hard to judge from pics only

The ARF's insert is identical to the GEN (even in different light setting), the engravings and font too ! Apart from the CG, I'm seriously impressed.

The insert is great. And that’s where the greatness stops.
