From published pics so far, the V9F Pepsi insert looks pretty bad too. There are definitely better case, bezel assembly, dial and movement alternatives but the Noob is still far ahead of the game just for that amazing insert. Hoping that ARF can make something equally good while also getting the other aspects of the watch right (then all you would need is to drop in a VR3185 and we are in business
)

I know it is a GMF but just mentioned in the GMF thread that I don’t trust the pics. At least with regard to the movements. The dealers often put any movement pics in the gallery and often (especially with GMTs) not the correct pics of the correct movement.
The description states SA3285 but it shows a VR3186 so I’m anxious to see some qc pics if anyone orders one.

You have to keep in mind, there is no SA3285. They are knowingly advertising 3185/6 as 3285 bcz they are engraving the bridges 3285. They haven't even clone a 3235 let alone 3285. But benefits are we can use gen hands and it has correct handstack.

You're right on the Noob BLRO Pepsi Insert, Noob got the insert color perfect, but lack of transition on 18, the clasp lock is not smooth like the bracelet, it's too rough. Not to mention the ticking time bomb custom movement. So far, I haven't see any manufacture replicate BLRO or the BLNR insert that look right. Damn, is not that hard it's, maybe this is how they do business, if they make everything flawless, then they can't improve on a newer version. Keep us sucker keep wanting to upgrade to the newer version and spending that $$$..... shit that's why Noob got a V10 submariner, lol... imagine how much money they made from version 1 - 10.

ZZF should join the competition... should be a good one. Their Submariner are the best so far.

I hear ya. I’m just saying I’lL be a little skeptical until I see one or two watches come in with it. I’ve just seen these TD pics mean jack two many times. I don’t want to seem like a naysayer or a pessimist as I’m just saying the same thing, I hope it is true. I just learned from experience not to put too much stock into dealer pics/specs on movements.

Well ZZF has been milking customers too with Hulk. Within 4 months - they had 3 releases...v2, v2s-old, v2s-new (X fixed in Rolex). There have been so many that have purchased atleast 2 of these 3 versions

Come one KJ, that matters a lot
If I ever get called out, I will instantly open the caseback, show them the "3285" engraving and prove it as 100% gen.
