Am I going crazy or are there still speed bumps on the 6? The “final prototype” they released was so promising and here we are again with the same issues

That's a keeper mate! Congratz!

I guess Li now can source these puppies huh? He told me about a months ago that he couldn't.

Sorry mate, both the transitions are terrible. After seeing so many recent QCs in this thread, ARF has “officially” messed up this batch. However none of these will be noticeable at wrist distance though. But people are mainly buying the ARF because of the insert, so it is understandable that we ask for close to perfection there ;)

Gen bezels also have variable transitions... here’s a great macro shot showing a “lower” transition at the 18 on a gen Batman. It’s ok to be picky... but as long as your blue is in the 18, you’re fine.

The ARF Batman insert is the best rep or aftermarket insert we've been shown so far. No others are worth pursuing now unless you want to mod one with a paint mod.

Ceramic insert paint mod

The ARF insert should fit in the Noob or any other rep bezel, ceramic inserts for 40mm Rolex sports models are all supposed to be the same inner and outer diameters. Thicknesses can vary, spacers or extra tape can be used to counter that issue.

It is highly unlikely ARF will sell its insert separately for quite some time. They have a corner on the market and will make customers buy the whole watch for as long as that remains true.
