I don't think ARF made a 126660 Deeep Blue. Only the black. As far as I know, only Noob and BP have made (a good) one, with Noob's by far preferred. But both are difficult to find for various reasons.

Im not sure if it’s new batch or new version. I don’t see any noticeable refinements. I know about minute hand but I don’t think it would bother me.
I check pics on trusty and it looks like chapter ring is aligned.
how did you like your 116660, do you still have it?
how was brightens/saturation of DEEPSEA writing? In some pics it looks quite dull but it may be lighting.

Even the one on TT looks misaligned. You can easily tell by looking at the "K" of the "RING LOCK SYSYTEM" text: the "K" should be centered exactly below the 6 O'clock marker, wich is by far not the case here (Noob v10 made it (much) better :'( )
As it is sometimes the case for ARF, the luming is not well done. For my ARF V3 this is the case for the hands (comparatively weak lume) and 10 O'clock marker (not even distributed material). For the one on TT this is the same case for the Hands. But of course this is only noticeable in the dark. Other than that, it's a great watch.
If I'm not wrong, the OGEV ring is, unlike the original, not part of the ring lock system, so that it can be correctly aligned by the watchmaker (of course: a compromise has to be made elsewhere in the text).
It's a good point that you made with the green "DEEPSEA" writing. To be honest, I don't know if the color brightness and saturation is exactly right. I hadn't paid attention to it until you mentioned it. It is very difficult to say on the basis of images: lighting conditions and subsequent contrast and saturation settings have too great an influence to be able to make a reliable statement about them.
I still have mine and I still love it. If I had the opportunity, I would still exchange it for a 126660 Noob v10 for the simple reason that I would like to wear it on the black Rubber B band with blue flanks, wich is not available for the 116660

Little closeup of the dial:
I see it now but it’s actually not that noticeable to me. id be more concerned with color of DEEPSEA. I’m wondering if it looks brighter when light hits is directly.
Gen is bright green.
Date looks nicely aligned but in date window.
Noob V10 is a bold, bright green… and from pics of ARF dial also a richer blue part of dial

Real deal:
My ARF:
My ARF with more direct light:
...so: what's the right color? I don't think you can tell anything if not holding them in your hands. In addition, if I'm not wrong, the color of the "DEEPSEA" writing had been updated from 116660 to 126660. So in principle the NV10 and AV3 cannot be compared.

Well my DSSD build is finally finished. It's just got back from ado after a full strip and rebuild, it's running like a champ!

Looks good. Also, I think I would be ok with slightly misaligned ring. I’m sure TD could find ARF with just slightly misalignment.
Just tried on Gen 122660 in mexico city---here she is
Did you feel any sharp edges around lugs?
I’ve been told some of newest SD have sharp edges around lugs.
