In the flesh they are the most gen like.

The problem is you mostly see gen dials very well lit. This produces a halo effect around the subdial...

That's because they are under very high lux jewelers lighting.

They don't look like that in the flesh trust me.

You would be correct

I have mentioned the same thing just not quite as articulately elsewhere, the ARF 'feels' gen.

I have...

This happens all the time even on gen.

My approach - I do nothing. It makes it look more worn. I have a nice phong bezel on my 116520, that...

You're bang on, well done for putting into words what is easy to see but difficult to articulate.

This is exactly the problem.

It's so inconsistent.

One of mine is fine, the other is miles off. I had to use rubber b, mix spring...

[ssouthall6]

I dunno what you guys are seeing, my arf bracelet fits have been hit and miss, my noobs have been hit and miss, neither are bad quality, neither are outstanding...

[ssouthall6]

Can someone artistic be an RG guinea pig for me please?!

If you're looking for investment then gen cartier. They hold their value far better than omega. I speak as a gen omega owner who has lost money

There is barely any difference in the clasp now. The early ones were crap, the newer noob batch is acceptable

All you have to do is zoom in on the R's and the S. If it's a skinny S in UNITS it's a v3. Really simple

No they are better on the ARF but they aren't perfectly matt, there's a sheen on them that isn't quite right...it's difficult to explain...

I have a spare ARF 116500 bezel that would be handy to use on my noob 116515.

Anybody paint modded a platinum coloured insert engravings...

[ssouthall6]

When you say counters do you mean the sundials? If so I agree - ARF is actually the same!

I have a spare one I can sell you. Let me know if you are interested and I will set up a reserved sales thread.

The noob will fade, as will the ARF. The noob v2 is totally the wrong colour, the ARF is closer but can fade quickly.

Here is ARF vs Noob....

[ssouthall6]

Yep, as I said if you know that particular model inside out then these minute details stand out. They are impossible to fix due to the movement, however...

[ssouthall6]

Yes it is you’re right, but there are several similar Breguet models so the position of the bridges, for example, is only glaring if you know the 7057...
