But WHY ?
why you need a clone of 3135 instead of a eta clone ?
It's only for the "look" or the 3135 has function (ex : centered crown , date change , etc) differ a lot from ETA ?

Because the case fitment is different and 3135 clone is upgrade/gen parts friendly. You could always drop an ETA to a 3135 case but not vice versa.

Does this watch is good as the “old” Sea Dweller who had the superrep status on RWI?

All reps with unreliable movements are a fail in IMOP. Those movements are rubbish ootb.

It‘s far too expensive to service Rolex clone movements with gen parts.
You can still mount gen hands and gen dial on etas. It‘s a bit more difficult but clearly possible.

A really good movement service of a Rolex clone will charge you a lot of more than modding an eta to take gen hands and dial. And it‘s much more difficult.

I’ve just ordered the noob V8, I’ve not seen much about it here on the forum or any of the other versions other than v2. My buddy mech500 made a Gen vs rep review with the v2 in 2017, I took the fact that no other sd4k noob made it onto NWBIG list that it ment the rest have fallen short. But he was of the thinking there has been some Improvements in the reps since then and that a v8 should have some subtle improvements on the v2.

Mech and I Came to the conclusion that I may as well just buy it and check it out and post some real pics on the forum. I can also send to him to compare against his Gen. If I don’t like it someone else will and will take it Off my hands.

I boughst a gen 116600 on the grey market. Any shot I could have owned it 3 months and not realized that its one of these noob v2 super clones? Or would something have revealed it by now. Have had no issues with it, runs -2 seconds per day.

Look at the insert with some magnification. At least 5x. Check the engravings. Noob’s engravings are sharp as a razorblade at the edges. And the platinum paint is far too dark. The ground of the engravings has got a hatched structure.
And the dial is full glossy not semi matte like gen.

The overall finish is far away from gen.

Did you end up getting the v8?? I’m interested in how the dial looks as I need a new dial for my v2. Any pics would be awesome

Yes I’d like some info on the v8 as well, as I have a v7 bracelet with correct SEL I could use.
