Remember where you heard it first, I ordered a Daytona noob v2 all ss white dial and couldn't get it, could only get black because that all what's left.
it has been closed down and my TD says it will NOT 're open.
sorry to be the bearer of bad news guys

IDK but I received QC pix of both white and black dial Noob Daytona 904L 4130s in the past two weeks.

Just received an email from Noob and it looks like it is definitely true . It reads ' Dear customer we regrettably write to inform your factory tour with drinks and a complimentary meal has been cancelled for the foreseeable future . We will refund your payment for the tour within 3 working yours sincerely The Noobie Factory ' .

Now it’s the AR factories time to shine with their next Daytona with the 4130. If it’s true they will reopen under another name somewhere. Too much money involved to shut down. Replica Factories in China get raided all the time.

brainybrain Thank you for the report. Although, incorrect. You’ve made quite the entrance to RWI. Next post will read “Hillary elected President, it’s confirmed. Sorry to break the bad news.”

So at the end is what OP reported true or not? I cannot access my source of information recently and last time he told me that the output of the factories will be slowed down in the next month due to "complicated circumstances".
VF and GF are both down now. If noob is confirmed down, I will grab one or two reps within a week.

I really suspect if V6F (AKA XF/VSF/HBB, same factory) is affected. I requested an XF inner bezel from my TD and have been waiting for 2 weeks already for the factory to release the part. My TD could usually get a spare part in 24 hours since he resides in the city where the factories are. I sent a message, he called the factory, I paid, he sent the part at night, and usually the deal is done. It is the first time that I wait for so long for a part. He just told me to wait patiently. Anyways, I am gonna buy something if Noob is confirmed down.

Just before the raid, an undercover police officer tests the watches for authenticity with the well known "duster" method.
