Looks like ARF fixed the crown tube height - doesn’t seem to protrude anymore :)

And now the LN

In my view it's perfect with the exception of some dates appear to be misaligned and slightly over magnified.

Overall a very nice piece

Drifter When looking at your comparison between the VRF and ARF Hulk, it seems to me that the ARF insert is a tad brighter, not much but it's noticeable (correct me if I'm wrong). This is very promising because another member posted an VRF vs Gen here and the difference was that the gen was brighter, not much in that case either.

Not saying that the ARF hulk is identical to the gen, but it looks like we are really close now. For 1-2 years ago I thought that we would never get here lol.

Yes it is slightly brighter and most importantly the numbers are greyish silver compared to vrf which appear to be whitish silver + pearl on the arf is superior in terms of recessed .

Nevertheless both are equally stunning examples,

I'll post more pics tomorrow.

I have not seen a gen but I do know going my the pics that numerals on arf are spot on.

I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner but I went ahead and just worked some teflon dry bike lube into the bracelet. While it felt great before, it's like butter now. I'd suggest anyone that has this watch to do it. I'm going to pull the bracelet, have a buddy toss it in his cleaner and then soak it in the stuff at some point as well. For now, this quick treatment was very effective

They will never copy the green bezel because the Gen has a special green because they use a mixture of platin / gold and other stuff.

Its not so simple like the black one

That is true indeed, at least we might get 90% close and we will all be happy we saved 2200euro for a bloody insert!!! I was about to pull the trigger on one and then I hold my horses, lot of cash there to be spent on an insert

Great mate, would love to see more pictures! If possible, could you try to capture the difference between VRF and ARF dial in dark light and sunlight?
In your first picture, it looks like the sunburst-effect of the VRF dial has a more dark tone to it than the ARF.

Yes sure thing. I'll organise some tomorrow.
