Is Arf going to release 126660, l hear that’s not in the works anytime soon. In so far as the QC picts regarding the color dial, looks way better then Arf or Noob 116660! As for the dial not "being centered." I think the bezel just needs to be rotated "one click" over to the left (hopefully anyway). SEL gap is much better then what is in PT's site picture. The pearl, does look like a possible weak point. Easy fix to purchase a better one on eBay. Please send us those picts when you get watch in hand, then we can make better decision on this. Thanks Beano2278!!

Yeah i hope they hit the Blue Dial.
I watched the video from Puretime and it seems ARF fixed the Crystal height.
The Noob pearl is weak. The insert and colour is good.

I keep forgetting the Arf 126660 black dial. I hope, if/when, they come out with blue/black dial...it's soon! I've just gone through two 116660 Arf and Noob, and not happy with mainly either dials "darkish blue" and it's not "just in a room," "or gen is kinda dark also thing," as some say. The 116660 Noob, and to a lesser extent Arf, were both too "darkish blue" in daylight as well. I've seen gen, and gen is much more obvious "pop blue." But, I've beat that dead horse opinion enough. Anyway, from the QC picts of the Noob 126660 posted, the dial "appears" to look way better. But, I'm holding off until a member get's one actually in hand, take some picts, and gives their opinion. I can tolerate the SEL thing as long as it's not any worse then what those QC picts are. I'm surprised on their insert pearl, you are right, not good on that issue. But, I figure an easy change, if I can find a decent one on eBay. I have a A2836 and and a "high beat" BP factory 126660 that people don't know much about, both not bad actually. I "think" only the cartel have them...not sure though. I have the BP A2836 into Katt for movement servicing as it came with a cannon pinion problem, from I won't mention which cartel but not TT! Lol Their high beat 126660 DG2813 (actually a Shangai 2824 @28800bpm) is actually working fine though...go figure! It does have the same pearl problem, but rehaut lettering, etc is corrected from 116660. I'm probably just going to hold onto the serviced BP when I get it back, as I don't see spending more for Noob at this point, as they are close.

the black dial ARF have wrong hands though, not sure if the strap has been updated to the new width either.
I'd be curious to see if the numbers on he bezel insert fade like on the Noob Sea Dweller i bought.
You need night vision glasses to see them

Valve does not appear to be recessed enough, although it might just be the angle of the video.
Apologies guys been manic this week, but I've attached some more photos, the light isn't great as it's a very gloomy day. Overall happy, yes the blue on the dial isn't as bright as the gen, pics of the older ARF version look no better though, the pearl is quite good compared to the 2019 version which is very different to the earlier versions but is a little proud compared to gen. The bracelet is a little tight but some bike chain old soak will fix that as always. Now as someone pointed out the dial does look slightly turned but actually it lines up with the bezel at 12 and 9 but less so at 6 and 3 but that could be the insert I believe. Date wheel lines up pretty well but in certain light with shadows lt does look to high. SEL's do have gaps but there actually better than I hoped seeing other pictures before I purchased it and I'm ordering a RubberB strap anyway.

Added lume shots from fully charged, after 30 seconds and after a minute (you can see the seconds hand) and a day light shot.

That is a beautiful watch. Just an observation regarding previous comments on the dial alignment in relation to the rehaut/case. This is a known though rare issue leading to a very slight misalignment even with some gens, as the vertical line of the E (in ESCAPE) and the laser etched crown on the inside of the rehaut, should line up with the 60 min marker on the dial. The rehaut is integral to the case and cannot be rotated.
