​​​​​Mate, that looks awesome.
Is this an ARF V2 base with SH3135?

Thank you very much and that’s absolutely correct but changed the movement to VRF 3135.

Thanks mate.

My plan is, if I can get one, to let it run as long as it wants to on the SH, and when the time comes, swap in a vs3135.

So, I was told the ARF v2 with SH3135 was available, placed my order and then got told it is no longer available. Sigh...

I'm now leaning towards the 126660 below, but hoping someone can provide first-hand experience WRT it's quality. Specifically, the bezel insert and if the markers wear off over time like the previous Noob models. The same question applies to the case back and whether the titanium color/coating still wears off.

Alternatively, how does this Noob v7 116660 stand up to the test of time? C Master are you still happy with yours?

I had two Noob V7s and they were superb. My current one is a Noob "V5" (2813) and it has been ticking away happily for about 5 years. It was loosing time from the day I got it so the movement probably could do with a service. Other than that no complaints.

FWIW: I just had Steve (theonewatches) verify with the AR factory that this watch is available (my second time having him verify), the ARF v2 with SH3135. I just ordered, so we will see what happens.

Ordered the v7 and gave the GL on it today. Will officially join the club when I have it in hand with pics to flaunt.

guys looking for some help, ive been a member for some time but havn't kept up to date on new releases etc, i'm looking for the best 126660 deepblue at the moment, case movement etc.
i had one of BP's 116660s for many years untill it was stolen off my wrist a couple weeks back in spain so looking to replace it with the 126660 dblue.
i've had a good read through most of the threads on here and its information overload for me, can anyone give me a short sharp answer to help me on my way?
thanks
nick

I've asked this question in another General Discussion thread, but thought I'd check here, too.

I just received a Noob v7 DSSD 116660 from a TD. The clasp is busted and cannot be fully adjusted, and the diver extension removed, as the screw is not accessible. I've asked the TD to provide a replacement but, as "Noob are closed down and parts aren't available", the only option is a BP clasp, which he's saying may not be compatible.

Does anyone know if the BP 116660 clasp will be compatible with the Noob bracelet link?

I'm really in two minds about this 116660. I like the fit and proportion in some cases, but in others it just looks too big on my 7.5 inch wrist. And I'm wondering if the 126660 with wider bracelet and clasp will look less top heavy.

What does your DSSD look like?
Did it grow on you, or was it a sure thing from the start?
Does anyone have the 11 and 12 reference?

Sorry about the pic spam.

You wear it well SS

Let's be candid, as DSSD lovers, if you don't get cramps in your left forearm during the day you're nor wearing a real diver

That BK is damn nice. ARF, is it?

This thing is growing on me more and more by the hour. I think the blue 126660 will be my next purchase.

Hey DSSD club, does anyone know if case-back fasteners made by other factories (ARF, BPF, etc.) are compatible with the Noob v7? I need a replacement and Noob parts aren't available.

Another Noob v7 v Gen shot. I like it so much that I ordered another one. It's always good to have a backup.
