Great result! You could consider the clean factory insert. Don’t really know if it’s actually better than an ARF with spongebob. But it is very good!!

Very nice build. The one thing that noob does right is the cases will accept the genuine parts without modifications. In my experience with building franken pieces this is always my recommend base for subs, yachtmaster, and GMT.

How come the need for a Noob case when you got the ZZF V2? From What I’ve heard the case from ZZF V2 is closest to gen? From many different people on this forums.

Just curious :)

I prefer the known compatibility of the noob. Crown, crystal ring, dial, bezel etc can be swapped with genuine without any modifications. IRC the zzf requires you to reuse the rep crystal gasket or you have a similar situation as the ARF described above. This means a replacement gasket cannot be sourced should the need arise. Also, the noob case has better finish then the ZZF.

Preciously what Rx4Time has mentioned. In addition, i dont like the cg after holding my couple of my colleagues gen side by side with mine.

and also especially for those who plan to super franken their sub. Worst ever will be gen part cant fit and need modification. Noob case are somehow proven.

Learn to read Bro! He literally has written what watch this is at the top of the page!

Familiarise yourself with the site before asking questions that have been answered MULTIPLE TIMES already.

OP sorry for taking away from your thread.

Learn to read ? You shouldn’t even replied if you have this attitude
