We have to give a lot of credit to both Noob and ARF.
10 years ago the rep game was totally different. The best reps in those times where the Pams (111, 104, 183, etc).
Rolex where good but light years away from what we got now. The ceramic inserts, pearls, dial printing, sels, bracelets and clasps, are getting to the point we literally need macro shots to compare with gens, and we’re taking about very very small details.
Reps are getting more expensive but also much much better.
The Noob and ARF Daytona are so good that it gets to the point of choosing a bolder or finer dial print and color tones that most likely no one will ever notice.
I wear my reps for my own satisfaction and I prefer the most gen like in order to wear it in confort so, in this case, for me mixing the best of Noob and ARF with a gen crystal is as good as it gets.
Maybe around the corner it could be impossible to tell ref from gen, at this pace, it wouldn’t surprise me it happens in 5 years.
Nuff said mate
