116622 Yacht-Master Rhodium vs Grey

[BadData]

Hi guys,

lots of info here but I still cannot find answers to my questions:

1) Rhodium vs. Grey - looks like they look the same on TD pictures, is there a significant difference in how they look in real life? Could not find pics of both side by side. Grey one is a bit cheaper

2) ARF vs Noob - is it worth to spend $50 more for Noob? will I get better bracelet/clasp with Noob?

Thanks!

Some TDs refer to the Platinum dial as grey. (Uses red seconds hand)

This is the Rhodium dial (uses light blue seconds hand)

Regarding Noob vs ARF, go for Noob for Rhodium and ARF for the other colors (If you are wearing OOTB). ARF does have better bracelet but recent Noob bracelet quality (post Covid) have improved a lot. Noob has amazing rehaut and nice SELs in the 904L version. Also atleast until a month back, the Noob YMs came with VR3135 (added advantage). I am Noob biased, while some members like ARF - pick your battle

I cannot find Rhodium Noob on TD sites - they all grey with blue around $500 but no word "Rhodium" in the description. ARF is around $450 and it does specifically state "rhodium dial". Do you know why?

Anyone have a link to a Noob 116622 with VR 3135 movement?
