Yes I would agree. The Noob YMs are hard to find though, but they do pop up from time to time. I wonder if the Noob 2824 case would fit a 3135?

I don't know honestly, I advise you to hear the watchmaker who will do the job for you later ;)

so the CG are better and also better redoute engravings.
this is an 3135 case?
amd does it have 904L steel ?

best regards

Yes, mount a 3135.
I never fully believed in the "legend" of the true 904, the factories declare 904 but I wouldn't put my hand on fire :)

Glad to hear, blue dial ARF what I ordered (partially or fully based on your pictures/comments in this thread no doubt, just couldn't completely remember offhand). My decision from pictures based on better dial color than any other factory, recent bezel insert appearance seems the best of all factories (close to TomRep mod in appearance from photos) and flaw in many noob yachtmasters that few have mentioned in recent years--inexplicable gap (often large) between bezel insert and bezel surround.

I am trying out Lucy for the first time. Ordered with A2824 movement. Currently moving through detailed QC with her on another watch ordered (GMF Smurf), in wait of shipping them both to me.

Thanks, mate.

How does the ARF stock bezel on this YM compares against gen? Not asking only about the ‘look’ but also interested in the quality and feeling of its rotations…

Hi Everyone, I'm a complete noob here.

looking to get my first rep and decided on a YM.
Which factory has the best quality that closest to a gen now?

Seems that VRF is coming out with lots of YMs lately, are they better than the ARF (which i read are pretty good!)

Anyone have an idea I realy need a case 904L steel for an 3135 movement super Franken project.
i have all gen parts ready even a gen movement.

if Someone can help me out with a gen spec 904L 3135 case would really appreciate it!
ARF only have the 2824-2 in production for about one year now..

And noob is gone..

any other options?
or someone have a noob ARF 3135 case for sale?

any review for the new YM from CSF factory in jtime?? thank you
I'm curious about this too.

Li (Jtime) says that CSF is now the best version for the 126622 and more accurate than ARF (both for the blue and the rhodium dial version).

I also saw another post yesterday suggesting that the ARF YM is no longer the bees knees.

Would love to know if anyone has had a chance to fondle the CSF version yet...?

Asking out of ignorance here - is CSF even a known/reputable factory? Very interesting to know theres’ another potentially good 126522 rep around…
