...forgot--minute (and hour?) hand bit short on the ARF 126660 as noted by others, appears to be the case in photos (again, I don't own one).

Side by side, the first noticeable difference is the dial. The NOOB has darker blue, and it shines better. It"s really amazing. Especially in sunlight.
The ARF's blue on the dial is definetly brighter. Overall it seems OK.
I can't decide which is closer to gen. Personally I like the NOOB better.

The second big difference is the pearl on the bezel. ARF is much better. Unfortunately on my noob there's a scratch next to the pearl. :(

The ARF has shorter minute and hour hands. It's true.

The bracelet and the clasp better on the ARF.

The titanium back is also better on the ARF.

Got this noob v7 (sh 3135) from Hont about a month ago-I think it is absolutely fabulous. I’m curious as to the helium valve on this model- is it functional- if so is it tight or do I/We have to seal it - I think I have been all over RWI and the www- but answer’s are not conclusive- what are the experiences in this club which I’m now a proud member

Hi everybody.
This is my first post after I bought the watch off Trusty Time Watch, which also I found info from this forum for the past 36 hours or so lingering around the forum.

Anyway, going over to a dive center with a pressure test machine to test out the ‘waterproof’ of the watch is consider the best first step to be safe in the long run?
The reason: being a diver myself, I have doubt when the website stated 30 meter for the ‘waterproofness’.

tbh i don't know if you will get this watch if you ordered it now...because Noob Factory is gone/down. ARF Version would be the better choice.

But using a replica for diving is never a good idea...even if you pressure tested it to 100meter.
If you search Something for the long run buying a gen or a digital dive watch is imo better.

So should I back out now?

I mean it is paid for already.
Seller should have change the status of the item to unavailable to potential customer like myself as to avoid the hassle in asking for a refund?

just write him a message, if not available you can Switch to another Version/watch.

better first always ask the TD if the watch is available before ordering/paying. Websites are never actual!

Hi guys,
Just received some QC pics for an ARF Deepsea Blue. The minute hand (and a bit the hour hdan actually) looks weird no? Like the lume is cracked? What do you think? Thanks!

yep, the lume is shit. DW is also off. I would ask for another one because of the broken lume.
