I received mine today, the ceramic insert is way better than the Noob GMT CHS I owned previous!
That is one sweet ARF! DW issues finally over? Even the Xstal looks fine, brilliant.

A beauty but hands are still a fraction misaligned but only like 5 minutes out so not a massive problem unless blown up on a forum picture! Arf are bad for this. Great pics.

paperplane Congrats. What a beauty. The DW looks better than the bold DW on all the TD pics. Better than mine. I hope they’re all like this going forward.

How’s the bezel action on yours?

Am I the only one who notices that the insert is quite off compared to the gen Batman? Too bold and deep.

Though it looks much cooler than the gen :)

I tried hacking the hands and align them all at 12 and leave it for an hour. The hour hand is misaligned by a tiny tiny little bit.

I never handle a gen gmt before so I can’t compare on the bezel action. As compared to the noob chs I had previously, this ARF turns smoother with lesser tension and it gives a click sound at every hour. I suppose the gen bezel action is pretty silent?

P.S. The bezel ring is sharp!

Compare with this two gen 116710LN photos, the ARF does seem deep but not bold.
Or maybe the gen insert is rounded at each number that’s why. :rolleyes:

My ARF sub was deeply engraved too. It looks like the ARF gmt...it gives that fuzzy/unclear look to the numbers. I don’t know if ARF does this to keep the markers paint in longer as they aren’t platinum plated. I don’t have an ARF yet but my noob pepsi operates well. Qaulity is not like gen...gen is gen

Yes the 6 on 26 on paperplane has a tiny blotch. But rest of them look pretty damn good.
