Thanks TigerDragon, could I have just made a mistake by going for the Noob 116610LN (V9)?
I just wanted a really good quality black Sub
.. Should I perhaps cancel and go for a watch that could maybe be recommended on here (from ChazingTime)?.. Cheers

No if you get a good one and you like it why changing? ARF version has problems tooThanks TigerDragon, could I have just made a mistake by going for the Noob 116610LN (V9)?

Okay, I will sit tight and wait for the QC images to show up.. my glass is always half full.. Cheers!

Smart thing to do, altough with the current V9 it's a bit of a gamble. And like it has been said before the ARF isn't perfect either.
That’s why I canceled my V9, even I am going to change everything but dial-case-bracelet with genuine parts I was not putting up with the fact that they messed up again! If ARF came with a SH3135 version I would be all over it.. now ordered an ARF 904 bracelet hoping that sits better on the Noob case or at least could keep the clasp if it’s better.. anyway let’s see what is the new batch coming (if it’s not a parody again!!)

Oh. I can understand your frustration. I will update any progress on my outstanding order and post my QC pics on here (when I get them) for some (hopefully
) good feedback from you guys! Thanks!

If V9 is just a mid-case, a rehaut, and a bezel (a very good bezel at that, even if the insert is not so good), then it is worth $500. The rest you get for free. A few surprises popped up working with the V9 mid-case on a cerSub genestein build today: 1.) V9 bezel/retaining ring (best bezel Noob ever produced) is not compatible with V7 bezel/retaining ring, I do not even think it is compatible with ARF, because of different inner diameters (tip: treat the bezel/retaining ring as an inseparable pair for each V and F, and machine as needed for fine tuning), 2.) the V9 case is best treated as a work in progress: the lug corner chamfers are missing on the bottom, hence the sharp corners, etc. you need to add extra machining/finishing to the case and the bracelet if you want to bump it closer to 95% gen level 3.) the V9 caseback is different than V7 for sure, and 4.) a gen cal. 3135 sits better in a V9 case than a V7 case (better crown tube alignment, but of course the cut-out for the movement screws is missing on both). In any case, ecce homo (here is the little sporty monster in its V9 case (sels will be taken care of tomorrow)) Thanks to smoke for the gen red Yachtmaster seconds hand, always wanted one of those in a six digit Sub a la TCs fantasy or vampire stylization:

Hi,
this isn’t allowable unless you have a specific question. You can post with a specific question I.E does ... look crooked?
