Hope experts will confirm this one is superior to ARF. I've been waiting too long for a good SD 50th

Not even close.

Not even close.

why some details?

ARF SD43 is still one of the best ootb reps. It‘s very very close to gen.

Look at this Noob watch: Dancing letters on the rehaut engraving. And imop the crystal is sitting a tad too high. And I doubt Noob comes even close to ARF‘s black hole effect. Nor it will be same glass quality.
And the clasp and bracelet of the ARF is very very good. Hard to beat. I don‘t believe Noob does. And I can say my own ARF SD43 has got so precise endlinks without any visible gap or play.

On to the movements: ARF uses the reliable and proven eta2824 clone. And you know the gen has got the new 3235 inside which has got the same hands setting direction like eta.

So no need for this shitty SA3135 in the noob.

Yeah, why does Noob always use the SA3135 and not the SH3135?

IMOP absolutely no need for a Rolex clone movement in the SD43. Crown operation of gen is identical to 3235.

ARF SD43 has got only a few issues. Crown guards and crown position are the weekest points. We will see if Noob gets this better.
And there is a prof crystal for the SD43 availible so these watches can be further improved.

What? theres been one out for a year now - and one of the best OOTB reps you can get.

Also, WTF at a shitty 3135 clone? What's the point?

Fixed.

 

[rolexppapfan]

Guys Maybe ARF will come with a response

 

[Smpfan]

What shall ARF improve???

Better crystal? It‘s already better than Noob‘s.
Crown position? Unlikely. Needs lot of mashining and adjustment of inner guts. Identical to Noobs A2824.
Datewheel? O. K. Noob has to do, too.

I think nothing will happen.

I am pretty new and I purchased a ARF SD43 v2 from a TD recently. I have couple thoughts wanted to share.

See the picture. I think the print of “ft” is a little off. The t is not smooth. Also, the 6 o’clock mark is sitting pretty low. IMHO, the noob version doesn’t have these issues.

Let me know your thoughts.

This is the second qc I requested from the TD but both watches have the same issues. May be the whole batch are the same.

Mine seems to be a bit different. V1, 2. batch.

It may be hit or miss. QC and build quality is not consistent at those reps. But this can happen with every rep manufacturer.

Yeah, but I can’t see it unless using a $2000 camera with perfect lighting. I tried to use my iPhone X I still don’t see it clearly. So with human eye, No one will notice it. I am not very upset.

Keeping this thread about the noob version might be a good idea.

ARF has bought the new SD43 2018 with MKII dial. They might follow but later this year. Well what shall I say. The ARF is really good but...
The dial color is not gen. Too glossy in most cases. The brown is okayish.
The crystal might be mediocre compared to a shitty crystal but still leaves it mediocre.
No Halo effect on Rep cyclops.

I think the watchmakers at Rolex will see it pretty quickly

I agree. But who would bring a rep to a watchmaker at Rolex?
