Noob v9 just appeared

[thewatchnewb]

I got my v9 last week. The sels are almost flush, just a tiny bit under the lugs. Thought this would disturb me, but after a week on the wrist I don't think I bothers me that much.

Ryan wants 168$ plus shipping for a arf bracelet. Way too much in my book...

Hmm i might have to get this bracelet from Ryan. I purchased this noob v9 from him and after getting it serviced from VAC and finally getting it into my hands two days ago. This just happened yesterday. And of course, it was on my wrist therefore the piece is missing as I did not know when it fell off on my trip to NYC T.T

Oh no! At least the whole bracelet didn't fall apart! Is this the 2836 version?

nope, it was the 3135 version =/ I caught it almost falling off my wrist...Not even sure how that link even fell off!!

I think it's just bad manufacturing! Bad tolerances from the factory. Safer to go with a nato or a rubber strap lol. Hope you get your problem fix! :drinks_cheers:

My ARF did the same thing...luckily I caught it before it fell apart.

Are they hiring the same workers from each others "company?" Lol

it seems so lol after i watches some "Producer Michael" videos recently (the ones where he was at a watch store) i was pretty shocked how much people pay for crappy looking watches lol They had some old APs there which costs like 70k? They looked straight like my quartz rep lol sometimes unbelievable what some people pay.

I saw that same video, I think where they were going to flip for 10K either way...yea agreed, that store front looks like a Noob or Arf store...and those watches looked horrible. Producer Mike, " I need some entry level watches." Here's a Hulk...yea, that would do...my mouth dropped after that comment.

yep the store in the plaza

How did you put it back together? There are no screw holes on those links =/

[Vvvlllooo]

Use glue to hold it together...those screws are pressure screws and when pressed together should hold

Meant to say on here , As well as the rehaut problem i mentioned present on the latest v9 i ordered that wasnt there on the first. There was metal shavings inside the lug holes/bracelet. One which jammed the springbar so I had to drill it out, Another which jammed then popped out and caught the case.

I havnt opened this one up yet but on the first one there where loose metal shavings inside the case as well. Just something to be aware/cautious of.

With a bit of fiddling and modding Ive got it working so it splits the links without any damage , and can be re-assembled like nothing had ever been done. I just havnt had time to finish off the mods with the end links to a level im happy with to post anything yet but its looking good

Good to hear this. Is it hard to come by and expensive to get one?

Hey Mates, I'm new here (but following the forum since a while). I just wanted to know if this updated V9 Noob is a good one? I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
