You guys should be wary about thinking it’s going to be back to normal so quickly.
Td’s are going to have a lot of back orders on Noobs - going to take some time to clear. With that comes dealing with all the ‘wheres my watch’ emails, frustration, whining and inexperience - especially all the new guys wanting a Daytona because of that Watchfinder video. I think it’s going to be a messy time for the Td’s
More importantly, no one knows what parts and what the quality is going to be like as they get up and running again.
I’m sure the more experienced members here will be waiting to see what happens rather than rushing to place an order.

Not gonna lie, that video got me into these high-end reps. But I hopped onto these forums to learn more before jumping straight into a purchase. But everyone and their mothers placed orders for that Noob Daytona. I wonder if Watchfinder secretly IS Noob Factory?? Hahaha :jerry:

I really doubt it's quite as popular as you think... the Daytona is a watch that divides opinions. Personally I think it's crap. No date, too small... too busy. But that's just me.

I agree, I don’t like it. But a lot of people do - either because it sells for $20k or it suggests you spend so much with an AD that they got you one.
When Watchfinder posts a video saying the only difference is the ‘way it makes you feel’, its basically saying to most people they can quit wasting time lusting after the real one and have a credible option B instead.
I do not need to pay a grey dealer $20k to feel good.

I had the unfortunate timing of coming along when that video went crazy, but have yet to see the video. Had the Daytona ordered just before the rumours and then actual info that noob were out for a break. I changed my order for more of my faves - Omegas. Even as a noob I know which way the wind blows and will wait for the backlog to clear and see how qc is going before replacing that order.
I'm a sucker for chronographs (even though my fave watches aren't chronographs), and the Daytona with the clone movement is too much to pass by for a sucker like me.

Any word on JF? It seems that a few factories were affected in a similar fashion these past few weeks.
Cheers!

Just received email stating InTime won’t be sending out QC pics for their current orders until October
My TD is still waiting for a response from noob, to know whether they are accepting orders again.
