I think its a noob/arf franken.. clasp code is st9 which is noob - but the clasp itself looks arf, just like insert/bezel but idk if ifs even possible to interchange those two. Its a mystery..

I don't think noob can interchange with Arf tho.. the case itself is already slight different already, if you compare ARF to NOOB. I dunno is it my eyes but when I look at ARF subs, it has this odd looking shape in videos.

I just picked up a v9 hulk and it doesn’t suck, Ive owned a gen before and in some lights this watch is 99% there.

Are you serious?! Hmm are you able to give us some pictures of your V9 Hulk? Cause I just ordered mine too I paid roughly a week ago, my TD is still hand picking the watch for me.. still waiting for his QC video..

I just did a quick collage of my v7 (hulk) and my arf ln ..hmm.. as you can see, the mid part of the SEL is much 'longer' on the noob. Never noticed before.. and its not the angle of the pics - i double checked with my own eyes.. while the collage is pretty crappy, it shows what i'm seeing.

Imho the arf is really closer to the gen.
heres a vid that (at least i think so) compares gen, noob and arf.

This seller is comparing Gen Vs Noob V8 2836 Vs ARF.. hmmm..


Sent from the RWI App[/QUOTE]

This seller is comparing at video 6:30s. left Gen Vs middle Noob V8 2836 Vs right ARF ..

"Colours"
At video 8:04s, left is Gen Vs right is noob V8 2836

At video 9:07s, left is Gen Vs right is Arf.

"Datewheel & cyclops"
At video 10:03s left is Gen Vs middle noob V8 2836 Vs right ARF

ARF on the right, the cyclops seems to be a little too big of a magnifying the date. As compared to Noob & Gen.

At video 10:23s, comparing the cyclops with left Gen right noob again. It seems fine & accurate.

At video 10:40s, comparing the cyclops with left Gen right ARF again. The date cyclops seems bigger.

"Thickness of the case"
At video 11:20s measuring Gen, comparing the thickness,

At video 11:35s measuring ARF,
At video 11:45s measuring Noob V8 2836

Gen & ARF have the same thickness, however Noob was 0.6mm thicker.

Bezel Width wise all both 3 are same measurements at 40.3mm.

At video: 18:10s, Gen left Vs Middle Noob V8 2836 Vs right ARF, he is comparing that ARF has a fat fat minutes hands as compared to both Gen and Noob.

At video: 20:56s-21:00s, ARF has a big gap on the crown which does not happen as compared to Gen and Noob. that big gap still occurs after tightening it.

Conclusion:
ARF has fat bezel numbers, fat minutes hands and big magnifying cyclops with that date fonts and big gap after tightening the crown.

For colours wise at video 19:21s, Left Gen Vs middle Noob Vs right ARF, seller is saying that as everyone has different colours vision, this still depending on oneself to see and compare which is more nearer or closer to the Gen colour. As some might say ARF is closer some will say Noob is closer. But both Noob and ARF have different radiant compared to Gen.

what do you think tho ? Itto smoke

Thanks a lot sadistface for the video analysis - much appreciated! Personally i will get the AR hulk these days just because of the better insert, better sels, better black hole. The LN feels very gen, i must say.

Back on topic. That swiss mystery rep is still driving me nuts. Let me have another look.. ;)

If they're both "1:1 with real watch as an example" as the TD say, then they should be interchangeable. I personally think they measure like rednecks.
