Trusted dealer BK on this forum has some arf sea dwellers. He purchased them makes some excellent modifications to fix bezel and crown height issues and puts in excellent reliable Swiss etas.

Update:
Hybrid ARF v3 / Noob V10 (I can confirm in real life it looks better, but is it worth doing? Probably not in reality, but I am very very happy with it. Would recommend!)

1. ARF v3 Base
2. Noob Dial
3. Noob Hands
4. Gen SD43 Crystal supplied by interaktiv
5. Gen Date wheel supplied by interaktiv
6. Gen Crown / Tube supplied by interaktiv
7. ETA 2824
8. Crown Guards cut/resized to gen size
9. Rehaut Polished (mine was a bit dull)

Pictures:

Nice build. Does SD43 gen xtal cyclops not have a blue hue to it like the subs?

 

[Teamjlf]

Which NOOB version is this ?
Price slashed..

Not sure which which version as I picked it from m2m but one that's had the BK treatment and looks/feels really good.

I had both of the last versions. Noob V9 and ARF v2 and I ended up selling the ARF. Am a fan of noob

I also looked at these two manufacturers (noob and ARF), but in the meantime the VSF factory came into the picture, whose watches are considered by many to be the best. I don't know if you have ever come across a VSF SD43, but I would be interested to know what quality it is and how close to the original it can be compared to these!

VSF took over XF's lineup of the SD43 and is still considered the best, AFAIK. They are now equipped with the superb VS3235 movement.

So, than you think, the VSF is better than the Noob and the ARF?

Yes.

I've had both the VSF and ARF and I prefer the VSF (XF)

XF SD43 126600 - review & macros

Just RL this one SEL looks horrendous to me. Looks like the bracelet isn’t seated properly one side. What do you think? am I being to fussy? Also bezel is off but this may just be they have rotated it one click too many. took a little while to get as XF factory apparently not working much at...

Thank you, but yesterday i bought a franken SD43.
VSF basic with movement block from arf v4, the best dial available(dial, hands, a2824 movement) and Gen crystal.
I think, this is the best combination at now.

Maybe someone may drop some knowledge: Shouldn't there be issues on stem height etc as the VS and ETA clone have different dimensions ?
