The 116515 Franken, a unique one, with gen hands, await the gen crystal and gasket arrived, aftermarket ceramic bezel for 116506 with the good size, aftermarket black goldust rose dial with gen sapphire hour index rainbow, movement fully serviced, all gaskets new, gen rubber blue strap on it.
The second one is the 116500, case modded to have the same shape of my gen, will have gen hands set still wait to arrived, arf dial but I am waiting to received the ARF V2 to compare which is the best one looking, aftermarket ceramic bezel with good size too, gen crystal and gasket, movement fully serviced too, all gasket changed too
On both gen mainspring and barrel will be in
Will post more pics once I achieve
Différence between bezel is amazing, noob one and the others are aftermarket, the both aftermarket are very good, writing and size
The aftermarket bezel in with gen crystal and gasket, exactly the same than my gen 116500
And the work in progress

Hi, in the image with the three bezels can you please clarify which one is which. Also where did you purchase the aftermarket bezel from? Thanks
Left one is noob on the right aftermarket bought on the bay in USA but braked when fit in with the gen gasket, and on the case aftermarket bought on Chrono24 from italia.
The size of both aftermarket is the same as gen, the writing is really pumping like my gen is, here is pics of my gen 116500
I am waiting to compare with the ARF bezel that I am waiting for

Really useful. Intrigued to see you compare it to the ARF when you receive.
Will do and post, after will sold parts I don’t need, ARF V1 or V2 dial, ARF bezel, and probably ARF band too,

Sorry if I’m going pic crazy. Just excited. I held off for a while and finally got the 904L 4130 Noob. I have to say it’s solid. Movement is amazing. Winds so quiet and butter smooth like gen 4130. Chrono start/stop and rest feels tight and precise.
We all know about the dial. An ARF dial would be nice and brings this closer to super rep. The bezel is not worth changing for me. The bracelet is solid and with tight SEL and clasp. I especially think Noob nailed the pushers.
Looks great. Which dealer did you purchase from?

JF V2. Finally swapped out the white rubber strap that came with the watch when I purchased it, I think the green rubber def. brings out the watch more. I do like the look of the bracelet, but rubber strap on Rolexes just tickles my fancy :megusta:

116509
I keep coming back to look at this post. Managed to try a gen one on in an airport last week and was surprised at just how heavy it is, but beautiful.
Do you know if JF produce the same 116509 but with the grey/black dial (not the ceramic bezel one) ?

JF does not, JH Factory does but the dial color is not great. All of these are going to have A7750s (if not DG2813s) and will be either way thick and/or chronos not working (or you shouldn't use them in the case of A7750).

Is that an ARF dial? ARF bezel is awesome!
