Got my new insert
I am so confused right now....
They look almost the same
The new insert is a bit darker under certain angles, the numbers are shallower and the white isnt as noticable... it is pretty close to the number colors on the noob v9
Numbers on the new insert are thinner but not by much
What do you guys think?

Outside light

Inside with flash

Inside no flash natural light

+ Blue is slightly darker
+ No transition lines at 6 and 18
+ the serif (hook) on the 1 numerals more gen-like

- Markers are thinner
- Markers are white
- Insert is thinner

Depending on how bad your Noob transition lines at 6 and 18 are (can't see in your pics), this should be an improvement. The NOOB speed bumps are a dealbreaker in most cases. I wouldn't try doing a paint mod on the replacement unless you are willing to dig out the white paint first. Even then it's pretty challenging to get a smooth fill of silver. I easily spent 15 hours on mine over a month trying different techniques.

Vitor747 can you post a link to where you got the insert?

Pretty horrible bumps
I thought I could get over it
But the light blue and the lines just stand out too much

Was planning to send to ussdassein for plating and edges mod

But i really dont know if it would work because the numbers are so shallow...

Just a quick question
Received this Noob GMT Master II and a cyclops lens is in wrong position. The crown at 6 it's fine. So is it wrong position of crystal and possible fix moving it or its defects in crystal themselves ?

That's not in a bad position imo. I've seen Gens more wonky than that.

 

[KJ2020]

Your crystal could be rotated a degree clockwise and it would look correct. Doing so would not make the LEC look terrible. Given a choice, I would prefer the cyclops right and the LEC slightly off, but it doesn't look that bad as is. Rotating the crystal requires bezel removal with risk to the case, the bezel, and the insert if not not done by a pro or a modder.

Yeah, that's pricey. Are the markers white? At that price and no returns I'd be inclined to install it as is and see how I like it. Making the markers silver isn't going to make it completely gen-like due to marker thinness.

Markers are a dull white
Its really weird but they look almost like the noob insert which is a light silver

Never never base on a photo to judge the color.

My HK supplier
aftermarket bezel vs batman

The only way to get the closer color tone is compare with a Gen watch.
Do not compare the color with internet photo
Its will never match with the actual watch

Gen vs aftermarket

 

[Rolex_Master]

Is Gen the one above the clock or the one mounted on the bezel ?

can you take a larger picture of both by comparing the number 6?

I want to understand how the blue / black transition on the aftermarket insert is compared to gen

Thank you

My tip gen is mounted

 

[prawnboy]

Gen is the watch.
Insert is aftermarket

Looks nice. How is the platinum within the numbers? My eyes have been horrible lately, and very hard to tell on my screen.

As for the "blue" on the insert, I am sure it is very close to the gen in the photo. Nobody is going to call you out saying your blue is off by a shade

@Noleex

Please post a closer photo of "6" from aftermarket insert.

Thank you
