Hello everyone!
Today I’ve had the fortune to compare a 116500 (white dial) Noob v3 with a Gen.
I would like to share with you my opinion about this rep.
Before to talk about the flaws I’ve to say that we have to consider that this is a rep and - to be that - it is something unbelievable.
On the wrist a well trained eye surely would have serious problem to understand that it is a rep, near impossible...once in hand a master could understand - but I bet that a simple Rolex vendors can’t tell it.
If you meet someone who has the gen you can consider that also in the gen there are some differences about colors, fonts, etc. however spending 15 minutes like a psychopathic the real differences can be checked.
I’m so happy to finally have in hand an amazing product like this noob. Surely I would like to have no flaws on that but we know that we have to live with these.
Anyway the major “flaws” that this rep has - considering that most of these aren’t so visible and can be seen by comparing the rep to the gen - are the following :
Lugs : a bit wider than gen
Crown : a bit wider and not sharp as the gen
Crystal height : a bit higher than gen
Bezel color : the black is slightly different from gen
Bezel - Engravings colors : slightly darker than gen
Counters : more shiny than gen
Counters print : font quite good, print not good as gen
“Daytona” color : gen is a bit darker red
SEL : if you see it closely you will understand that basically it is wrong in everything.
Bracelet silhouette : gen has a better silhouette. Noob is more straight.
Pushers height : on the gen you can see the three lines, on the noob only two.
Case geometry : slightly wider. The part of the lugs has a slightly different design.
Clasp engravings : quite good but a bit different from the gen
“Units per hour” font : close but slightly bolder than gen
In the end I’ve noticed something that I’ve not checked with the calliper (I will check it in the next days) but to the eye seems like that or rather that the gen seems to have a bit wider dial than noob.
Not having a macro lens and having bad lights I wasn’t able to do some beautiful photos...but I have this one
