“””“UPDATE””””

I did a job on a white ARF 116500, I simply inserted a 4130 inside, changed hands noob 4130, shaved the case inside to insert the movement. I tried to work the slim case sideways, to leave the pious keys pronounced, because the only flaw are the keys. the work went out well, having ARF a speaker more similar to the gen as a profile, I thought it appropriate to update my Franken as well. I would say it is the best compromise


Gen

ARF - NOOB v4
the v4 case is better than the previous ones, but in profile and straight

Franken with casa ARF
Mod ARF with 4130
if you have the option, change the caseback to a noob

for the SEL I used a NOOB v4 bracelet directly, its consistency is not bad at all. the ARF bracelet is known to be one of the best, it has the central part of the SEL pronounced, and I don't like it, that's why I preferred the noob v4 bracelet. on the ARF case it is perfect

Johnny Depp would like to know your thoughts on the Arf 116500 black dial ? How does that compare to gen ?

I do not believe. sometimes the numbers can get dirty, just wash them with a soft toothbrush and toothpaste, rinse with running water

So, if I read it correctly, the white-one posted is:

Case ARF (shaved)
Dial ARF
Movement Noob
Hands Noob
Caseback Noob
Bezel CF
Bracalet Noob V4
Pushers?


While the black one is:

Case ARF (shaved)
Dial Genuine
Movement Noob
Hands Genuine
Caseback Noob
Bezel CF
Bracalet Noob V4
Pushers JD Secret-Source


These look gorgeous! Congratulations!

Hello Maestro JD, my compliments for your works, they are pieces of art. I'd like to buy a 116500 panda dial V4 noob, what mods do you suggest for updating it ? i was thinking CF Bezel and Gen Gasket. It could be useful to hear your opinion.

Hello. for the v4 it doesn't need the CF bezel, the noob v4 is really amazing. the only thing to change is the gasket with a 2.3 aftermarket one, you can find it on Ebay or some supplier.

As usual a crazy work
