You asking about the bezel or the insert? Might be a while before the insert would be available separately. I'm still being told Noob is not selling parts since their "vacation".
Wait, you willing to pay $700 for a noob when it wont be any better if not worse than the GMF you already bought?
i thought the colour is more accurate? Just to my eyes, but maybe i should wait for the clean factory version
It depends....the latest Gen Rolex Pepsi bezels have a more purplish blue so not really.
I mean for sure the gmf one isn't anywhere close and it has the line separating the colors right?
There really isn't a noticable line on the GMF and the blue is about as close as you will get to the first batch of BLRO's

You never dun goofed.
Anyone paying $700 for that Noob piece of crap needs their head checked.
The insert colour on the Noob is still wrong - blue too strong, and the red is a shitty muddy colour.
Not worth using it as an upgrade.
And the movement is a joke.

Judging by the pics that new noob Pepsi easily beats GMF. I have gmf batman and I’ve seen Pepsi and that new noob Pepsi is way better.
The problem with gmf is proportion of entire bezel is off. Color is wrong too (mk1 & mk2) it only looks semi accurate in dark or half light.

The movement in the Noob is shit, and the ‘red’ is the same colour as mud. No one is saying the GMF is perfect, there is no perfect GMT rep, but theres no way the Noob is ‘easily’ better, let alone $300 better.
It is easily better.
When it comes to movement it needs to be time adjustments certain way and it will be fine. Yes it’s $300 better than gmf. Color of the bezel is as close as they can get. Wait till you see gen vs noob pics.

that's amazing. GMF and BP are from same factory and I think they are the best bang for the buck reps out there and great franken potential. can you show a pic with the date visible?

Amazing, i haven't seen this comparison before. It is really difficult to find a mk1 for reference since the color is chamaleonic

Quick date pic. Not a bad DW imo.
GMF has a really nice cyclops - its a bit shiny, but has that halo which ARF / Noob don't seem to have.

You're gonna want a Prof xtal anyway though
Always room for improvement. But because of the GMF cyclops, the upgrade is not so urgent as it is on an ARF. + you need a new DW on current ARF as well.
Honestly, I think Noob does really good crystal, cyclops and date wheel. My ARF and GMF need a prof more urgently than my V9 did, so I'm saving some coin for that.
