Thank you!
It‘s a Noob with gen crystal and Swiss ETA 2824.

To the YM pros:
What do you think which mods did make sense to this watch?
Is a TomRep bezel mod is necessary or other hands?
Input is much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I'm a newie and will like to seek your expert opinions..recently bought a ym rhodium and I felt the cyclops lens looked abit weird.. is the cyclops lens slanted?

Yes it looks slightly slanted. I think you may get it looking straight if crystal is rotated slightly to the left - any watchmaker can do it.
hmm... now that I’m looking at it again, it looks like date window is not completely straight. Can you post more pics of that cyclops / date window.

otherwise watch looks great!! What factory?

 

[DrblueZzz]

I got it from AR..
is this picture clearer?

yes. It doesn’t look that bad. I think crystal distorts date window making it look just a little bit uneven.
Crystal looks slightly slanted but like I said in my other post it should be easy fix - rotate crystal to left.

I'm still very fond of the classic silver dial yachtmaster and I have a 5 digit rep from 2004 which was fairly good at the time, but by today's standards is pretty lousy. Now I'm ready to update to a 6 digit 116622 and I'm at a crossroads of the classic silver dial vs rhodium dial.

The struggle back and forth is classic vs modern. As for the silver, I'm also torn on the ARF vs Noob debate, with no clear cut winner. My understanding is the Noob silver is more accurate, but the ARF is better overall, but reversed when it comes to rhodium, with Noob being better overall. Or have I gone bonkers reading too many arguments over the two? Which do members find more interesting, the silver or rhodium? And who has the best 6 digit silver dial rep? Arf or Noob?

Would have to say Noob.

ARF bracelet quality is phenomenal, but bezel action, crystal, hands and case all better on the Noob. Couldn’t compare dials as I had different colours.

Either way, both good watches.

Which colour do you think looks better? Rhodium or blue?

Would a Noob 116622 take an ARF Insert? Curious if my Tomrep mod can switch over. I want to see if I'd like a Noob base more, particularly due to the lugs.

Anyone ever try the D1F factory for their YM rose gold wrapped model ? How is quality for that model/factory ? Have read through numerous threads on this watch and it seems most are about ARF, Noob and a few other factories, but not much on D1F (which comes recommended from TD)

Noob?

Did you have the TomRep mod?

I was lucky, it might look like Tomrep mod but instead it's 100% stock
