Hi, I just read the super rep list again, wondering about the TW Bluesy... is it still available?? Can someone point me a direction to figure whether the current ARF/VRF MAX are better or still the TW can’t be beat??? Thank you.... sorry if I haven’t done enough homework before I ask this...

I think the TW is based on the 5-digit Submariner while the ARF and VRF Max are based on the newer ceramic-bezel 6-digit Submariner. Either way, they are all really nice watches.

Hinclimincli is correct. The old old TWbests at one time shared the same case maker as wm9. The wm9 has been the best out of the box bluesy rep so far discontinued a long time ago. The ARF VRF etc are all 6 digit ceramics. So it is like comparing chalk and cheese.

Ohhhhhhhh think you so much for the explanation.... currently wanting to add one more collection before I leave Hong Kong. Bluesy or Smurf is on the top of the list. (depends on which will be easier to mod and a sweeter eye candy )

In my biased opinion Bluesy. It is an expensive road and takes a lot of learning. Just remember not all rep cases take gen parts. Do a lot of research before you go on this journey. It took about 9 months to build mine, a lot of mistakes and headaches plus customs charges that would make your eyes water lol.

Although I'm not a fan of purple dials, this is such a beauty and works so well.

Pure Franken unfortunately. The only rep part is some of the movement. The rest are Rolex or aftermarket.

Hi C Master,

I’m thinking of getting the most gen like one(thinking of the ARF.... closest to Gen’s case size I believe, noob and GMF/BP are a tad bit smaller), and replace the bezel insert and dial,crown, crystal, and DWO first(saved the budget for it... and found couple of them on eBay...) so it’s highly on my list right now. But still sourcing which one to get, VRF Max or ARF, towards ARF cuz the bracelet is pretty *clear throat* expensive, so if get the VRF Max, definitely will have to replace bracelet, but I can’t afford this at the moment.

Good luck with that. The beauty of a Franken build is you can do it over time. Beware of EBay, there are plenty of scammers on there. Franken 6 digit parts/kits do come up in M2M from time to time.

One of my favourite watches along with the navitimer. Will definitely be the next gen I buy.
