How to tell noob from jf

[aplover88]

Can anyone say how to know if an AP ROO is from NOOB or from JF, what are their main differences ?

For the 2014 series, look at the pushers, but the easiest tell is the font of the datewheel.

How about for the closed caseback series?

Noob crystal is also not as good as JF. Its not as clear.

DW and crystal.
Some models have differences in the dials as well. E.g. Safari, Navy, Panda, Volcano.

Any way to tell by looking at the case ?

Noob case usually has better symmetry compared to the JF case. (-> closer to gen)
