Yes sir. They also have deco movement conparable to a jf. Heres mine for reference together with a jf ap roo forged carbon.

Maybe it's just the light, but especially considering that Noob didn't do many movement decos before, this one almost looks like gen. Beautiful finishing job and they also took care of the grey gear at the bottom.

Sorry. Didn't know Noob made this or were even back in the game with a deco movement. Thought it was JF on first glance.

spursian still has one of the best QEII reps out there imo (updated logo), DW and cyclops

Hoping that JF update this one (eventually) as part of their 44mm updates, then once you thin the hands, aside from the obvious flaws, it'll be close

Yes I agree spursian has the best one. It’s a beautiful watch. I think (I may be wrong) my one is probably the second best one out there...... mine was fully modded by legend, I just need to swap out the eta datewheel with a mikey one as it was modded before mike had the dw available for sale. Maybe I will get the logo done also, I’ve not looked into this

Spursian has matte polished his case to bring out the carbon pattern more, although this does look better the gen Qe cup II has a satin gloss finish so for that reason I’ve not considered this

now a lot of people will come looking for where to buy this rep lol they have helped the TDs with this video.

Exactly. The watch finder videos on rep vs gen, all the comments were on where to buy the rep. Sadly only half or less of those people will get directed to TD's, the rest will simply lose their money on some shady website.

I feel these videos are good for both future gen and rep owners, as they can buy watches for different reasons: it's helpful for the guy with a lot of disposable income at hand who doesn't want to get scammed and it's good for the guy who doesn't want to throw away tens of thousands and doesn't want to buy a Seiko

Indeed . Many people think Eric is a jackass with his shades and supercars but you can't deny as a dealer they have some great pieces especially Pateks .

me personally enjoy the CRM content and like Eric a lot :)

I've met Eric a couple of times, he's a good guy.

Not true

AP logo, dw, dw font, 3 o clock marker, crown position, thickness (some JF models have a decent logo on the updated ones but the rest not)

Never realized just how bad the AP is on the dial.......it's pretty damn bad. Is that just a JF thing or are all the AP reps this way?

Seems like it. Im just wondering why is that the noob factory is always on the spotlight when it comes in comparing the rep vs gen. Ive watched the dblue dssd and now this.

I just made myself watch the whole video and realised that not all of us here are that bad. This guy would be a perfect QC staffer for any of the factories - none of the RG models will ever leave the factory because there are just such major tells - no need to worry yourselves with crystal AR, DW gap & cyclops, CP size, noisy rotors and the like, just look at the dog stamp man! :) Boy

I always wanted to get this Rep. I'm just not sure which to purchase. The Noob or JF is better? Anyone recommend a TD to work with in getting one?

I would save the money of the 2xAR xtal (jf is perfect) and would instead thin that hand base which is an eyesore
