Noob undoubtedly knows about ARF coming out with an improved movement soon and is trying to rake in as much as they can with a pretty new insert on their old crappy movement. Lipstick on a pig anyone?

imo gen pepsi is worth buying @9k msrp given 1-2 year wait, it's a stunning watch

that is unless current pepsi reps can get to Daytona level accurate (90~%)

have a feeling clean / arf will get on it soon, its the rolex rep EVERYONE is waiting for

here's a chinese video of the new noob:

Insert colour still wrong in that video. Blue too vivid and the red looks a nasty muddy coffee colour. I’ll put my hopes on clean / arf and enjoy my gmf in the meantime.

Yeah, that sounds like a typical Noob move - like the V8 submariner, and then they released a quickly forgotten about Daytona 7750 update soon after ARF released theirs?

How are the crystal height, crystal, cyclops, and datewheel? The crystal height seems better than the GMF to me. The cyclops and crystal itself seem good on these pics.If this watch doesn't have those faults that the GMF has it may be worth the extra dough

THIS IS GEN



Here the noob crystal

I always hate the rep crystals, I see from 5 meter it is a rep. Here my GMF... looks great in that pic... but if a little dirty and strange angle it looks weired... color of bezel also depends on light

Can anyone give me pointers what to even look for with the crystals?

What I see is just that the noob pic is bad and that's it.

It is simply that „black hole“ thing. When you have a Gen GMT and Rep in your hand you see it.

In the video noob also has no „black hole“. For that price there is a lot of space for improvement


Here Gen Ex II vs GMF. Cyclops is simply clear on Gen

GMF is ok, but you need to keep the crystal clean... see last pic

Thank's, I think I'm getting to it but still a bit unsure. So it's basically the cyclops only that you look for the black hole effect not the whole crystal?

Now we need the Experts for comments on the crystal. Bezel-Color is wrong but honestly I like "my" color and ICHS is always the safer side.

Red (brown) looks more like the root beer colour. Numbers too white, don't look recessed enough but at least they're bold like the gen.
Rehaut alignment @ 11 is not good - first time I see the letters centred between the minute marks.
