I would be cautious buying from a non TD, and have not seen it released on any TD sites so not sure if it is actually a new release.

I hope very soon will be available in all TD's sites. But the interesting here is the diffeences from other two versions. In first look the inner besel is corect colour in diference from Noob version, and rotor and movement is engraved like the Noob versions , but in difference from the last one released version with corret dial colour. I think also the DW is with incorrect date font.

I have to say it's a pretty one. I didn't had the noob but I can visually say it's quige close and the finish looks great.

One would have to order it and get the feel of it to be sure of a quality on par with the noob version.

Regarding the movement, I'm sure it's just a Asian version, not Swiss.

Yes, I see, there is no AR, that is horrible. But what about the screws on the bezel? Are they in the correct place or like in the Noob version is wrong?

Is GF called GMF now or is it yet again another factory?

Besides from the lack of AR this watch looks better than the precious Noob. Numbers on the bezel are way sharper than the noob which were too rounded (dead giveaway) and the lume markers on the inner ring seems smoother now too and not so thick.
If they fix a nice AR XTal I will be all over this.

I have a genuine and I ended up having to polish off my AR because of a nasty scratch I put on it:( So that aspect of the rep doesn't really bother me. Rep looks pretty good! Hopefully they come out with a bracelet version!

Date font is way off unfortunately. Also the teeth on the crown look less sharp and rounded. Here are some pics of my Noob on an army strap for comparison. Set to same date and roughly same hand position as OPs link:
