116622 - Rhodium dial Noob & Gen

[Quattro247]

I was reading through some threads on the Yachtmaster and noticed that is seems very apparent that the evil folk at photobucket have swallowed up many of our images and previous points of reference.
I was going through some photos on my phone and came across a few images of the my old Noob YM 116622 and Gen side by side and thought some might find it useful as a point of comparison.

Gen YM 116622 - Rhodium dial



Noob YM 116622 - Rhodium dial

Noob and Gen side by side

 

[Quattro247]

Of the many reps I have bought I have to say the Noob YM is one of the nicest off the shelf reps I've had.
The bracelet is really good IMO and the dial although not perfectly matched to gen colour does have a beautiful sunburst effect in different lighting conditions.
The biggest difference for me is in the bezel, the finish and feel of a gen YM bezel is extremely difficult to replicate and for me, along with the dial colour is the weakest part of this Rep.
You can see from my side by sides though that it is by no means dreadful and hopefully this thread will help a few perspective YM owners get an idea of how this measures up to the gen.

Will the noob model accept gen crystal, crown, and tubes?

This noob 116622 has been updated and is alot better than the one in the op.now the new noob version looks gen.same case sel and rehaut and crown

 

[Quattro247]

@smoke is dead on as always and the rep 116622 pictured is approx 9 months old. SEL in particular on the latest version is greatly improved

GEN xtral YES - Crown / tubes not sure without modding.

Is it a good idea to mod it to fit the tube?

Would a noob yachtmaster bracelet differ dependant on the movement used ?

No

Thanks - TD (Angus) told me that as my watch is not in stock he would be unable to source a replacement noob bracelet

 

[muiramas]

This watch looks incredible. Feel like a kid in a sweet shop on this forum.

 

[Tazmo]

Would you sell the gen?
