I forgot to mention, also check the OGEV RLS text on the ring. You can see the different font in the 2 images above. 116660 font should always be as shown in the first pic, and 126660 and 136660 font should always be as shown in the second one, regardless of JC or black dial.

Negative (thank you tho!). It’s a 2016 Noob 116660 that BK worked on. I got it from Hasselbaink a couple years ago. It’s my daily driver, I love it. Has a Swiss ETA 2824-2, and a number of other mods.
Looks like I missed out on the noob v7. any thoughts on the 126660 APF version? comes with a VR 3235 movement and made with 904L SS.
APF is the 126660 but it has the 116660 font on the OGEV ring. The font is more round/bubble-like as opposed to flat.

The BPF has the correct font on the OGEV ring; however, this is a 126660, not a 136660. Although, both the 12 and 13 have the same font.
The issue with this BPF is it has the SA3235 movement, which may run fine for years if you're lucky, but if it doesn't, you'll need to replace the entire movement (don't bother trying to get parts for it) and either modify the dial to fit the replacement movement (VR3235, for example) or get a new dial with the new movement. If BPF release this model with the VR3235 or VS3235, it would be a good watch, and if they made the hands the correct length, it would be a great watch.
This is stated as having the A3235 (decorated A2836), but it is not; it's the SA3235.

Do you want a Deepsea with a clone Rolex movement, or are you happy with an A2836? If that movement ever fails, you can drop a genuine ETA in it. Alternatively, you could go with the Seagull ST movement (a step up from the A2836) or a Swiss Sellita movement (essentially an ETA and almost identical, and of equal quality).
Thanks for the reply. This is the one I may be picking up. i thought the font was pretty good but now, unsure, based on what you shared with me.
Yep, the font on the inner ring is incorrect for this reference.Thanks for the reply. This is the one I may be picking up. i thought the font was pretty good but now, unsure, based on what you shared with me.
Hey everyone,
I wanted to buy the deep sea made by ARF 1:1 ( but also got an offer for a deep sea made by V9F (so the seller told me). See pictures below.
Do you guys know this factory? And maybe know the diffeences between these two?
I saw that the V9 has a different movement then the ARF A3235. But unsure about the rest like finishing and the alignment of the rehaut e.g.
Thank's in advance and a nice sunday evening to everbody.

This watch is not accurate. Read the last handful of pages and you'll see why.Hey everyone,

Hint: find a front of pic of a gen 126660 or 136660, and one of an 1116660. Look at what changed after the 116660 which has not been replicated on this rep. One very obvious thing, and it most likely cannot be corrected.
Tbh I read it already but the font of the inner ring doesn't bother me that much. I don't know why but for me it is important that the rehaut alignment is on point and it has a "good" movement in it.
That's why I asked for the diffrences of these two factorys. Because I can not find the DSSD of V9F anywhere in a TD website. I just got some pictures from HONT directly.
If there is any better option for an 126660 let me know
Also this one from AR+F looked good to me till now. But as you can see it is described as 126660 but in one picture it says 116660. How about that model?Tbh I read it already but the font of the inner ring doesn't bother me that much.

So, you're worried about Rehaut alignment, which can barely be seen on the DSSD, and not concerned about the highly visible black text on the inner rings which is one of the main features of the Deepsea. Okey-dokey.
The watch above doesn't do anything for me. Basically an 116660 with a pretty poor 126660 dial. The movement is considered decent, but it's a hybrid, not a clone. If it dies, you can buy replacements pretty cheap online.

Yeah I am a little bit picky with some things I know
I might be picking up the BP or GMF with also the better movement but the short minute hand still bothers me 
Thanks for the reply.Okay I think so. Also 1 page earlier it was mentioned that the ARF would be better with the Black dial and GMF for the JC. Saw an ARF v4 with a A2824 Movement and the font looks good?
Now I am very unsure what to do
