Anyone selling or can point me in the right direction for a Rolex submariner stainless steel and green (hulk) v9 I’m not being rude and don’t mean it’s I’m brand new to this and don’t no where to post this other than here, as I see there’s some senior members on this bread hopefully they can point me in the right direction. Many thanks

Check out the trusted replica dealers. It means you have to look around read a bit.

I’ve been reading for 2 days straight now but can’t seem to find anyone who’s selling them, and the ones I have found selling them people say don’t trust as they are in china etc chinanoob etc

It's a 3135 :) For the insert, it's about the platinium coating (white and shiny) which cannot be compared to paint (gray and dark). For the Crystal, its about gasket height, colorless clarity of Crystal and AR on Cyclop

Why is a "nodate" so complicated for the factories? Just use a "closed" dial and no cyclop. Super easy, isn't?

It’s not that it’s hard it’s that it’s less popular so always comes after the date version

Thoughts on bk's mod of v9
[h=2]Product Offering: Noobfactory sub-c black v9 Swiss ETA 2836-2[/h] 25-05-18, 16:27
Hulk is also available.
Movement: Swiss ETA 2836-2
Mods:
- reinstall DWO for better date positions (top to bottom)
- reinstall crystal to line up cyclops to date window
- line up the dial to the rehaut engraving by best-fit effort, i.e. line up the 12 o'clock marker to the engraved Rolex coronet on the rehaut
- reinstall bezel insert to line it up with the dial
- tighten bezel => no rocking bezel
- set proper crown stem length. Noobfactory sometimes make it too long which puts pressure on the movement and can diminish WR
- reduce the crystal height above bezel insert. Stock crystal can be lowered by shortening the crystal gasket
- replace the 2 movement ring tabs with Swiss made ones which better secure the movement in place
- replace the 2 movement ring screws with high quality ones which break less
- optional (extra $38): swap in Clark crystal for even lower crystal height. Note: Clark doesn't have LEC at 6. But that's not necessarily a bad thing because gen's LEC is practically invisible and Noob's LEC is still too loud.

It is totally up to you! For my money, I rather get the base Noob V9, do a PPM, gen/prof crystal, and call it a day. The good part about BK's V9 is actually getting the V9 as it has been hard to get from dealers. That could be a temporary problem, and a wave of V9s may come in before we know it.

Wow, so really only the first batch of V9 cases had good lugs. Back to mostly garbage lugs for everything posted after that initial run. I guess I will wait for my QC pics, but I think I'm likely to end up asking for a refund. Dammit, Noob!

Here's the worst of it on the inside of the fold-down clasp - there's a small burr that makes the scratches this thing leaves on the bracelet link even worse. Lugs and the main part of the clasp all have sharp edges.
