116520 NOOB SA4130, Lets talk about the old ref

As the other thread is dedicated mainly to the new references i decided it'd be better to open a new one about the old refs

Would some expert get in here? I am tempted to buy the white one but the face looks flawed somehow

No experts yet as they were just released a few days ago.. Wait a couple more weeks

Well it seems for the new refs there are plenty of experts already

they are flawed as hell. Case shape is not good, crap sel, too thin bezel engraving, dial not crisp (as a ARF for instance.)

Cant speak for the feel of the quality, but i think the main selling point is the movement at this moment.

At this point there is not movement teardown or review, but Hitman has it currently on his wrist me thinks. Perhaps he can chime in on terms of timekeeping/reliability

Does the SA4130 take gen Dial, hands and subdial hands? Thinking of doing Franken using this as base.

116520 having "116500" engraving is another flaw, so that case is to be thrown away, lol

They use the same case for all models, it has been always a flaw also for the 114060 from Noob, it had 116610 between the lugs. It's not a dealbreaker but it's still a flaw.
