Consider me taking one for the team by clearing out their current stock
Cool but they will still keep using those shitty DWs.
even new ARF Rolex that will be release soon will be with same DWs.
What 's the max wrist size for these? Either the ARF or the BP V2. I see that the strap is 75,60 and the watch is 37, and it seems like the max wrist size would be like 6.8 inches or something? Any have it at the limits?

I'm wondering the same too... although an estimate would be watch head spring bar to spring bar 44mm, straps 60mm and 74mm and the clasp is about 34mm over all = 212mm.
But the size for the straps is overall so we need to allow say 2mm each for going over the spring bar ends and say 4mm where the straps go into the clasp, there for 200mm should be the maximum.
My wrist is 200mm!
hence would be handy to confirm from a member with the new strap lengths in hand.

Hey guys and davemau5
I'm about to pick up the ARF 116655 w/ updated strap. I know the 2824 is more reliable than the 3135, and 3135 is more expensive to service. My big question is, what options are available to swap out the datewheel with a thinner/more gen-like font? I'm no watchsmith, so I'd prefer a more reliable movement, the 2824, out of the box...but RWI spoiled me on what I can/can't live with
You could order a Noob DWO overlay and get it fitted?
The Date looks good to me, did they fixed it??
What version did you order exactly?
Can you say something about the gold tone? To me it looks a little bit yellowish than rose but it might be the pics.
I am thinking about getting one too.

if you are getting one with a 2824 the watch is using a date wheel overlay as the 2824 date wheel wont sit where the date window is on the rolex 116655. So if you dont like the date font but prefer the noob font, speak to BK order a noob Date wheel overlay (prob 25-30USD) and get a watchsmith to center and fit the noob DWO on your ARF.
I have just odered a Noob SA3135, however the QC pics dont look great and the amplitude of the movement was really low. I have asked for some more and asked them to wind the watch up to see if the amplitude will increase. i plan on installing a gen XTAL and GEN DW.

This looks to be a good example, date wheel looks a lot better. Would you mind measuring the strap or the max size the strap/clasp will go to for me please? many thanks. :thumbsup:
Ill post more pics/info once I receive it, but itll probably be a couple weeks. Very happy so far from the QC pics though.
Yep and confirmed w the TD (I had some concern about the clasp but it got sorted out).
I am looking forward to comparing to my Noob 116622 when I get those QCs

I just want to make sure because yours looks amazing and i want to go one for a while now but I was concerned about the strap not fitting my wrist.
50 grams should be noticeable if you are holding both watches right, but is it noticeable if you only have one watch at hand?
