Hi all,

Scary how close these are getting.

Main things to note:
- Bracelet: feels rattly compared to gen.
- Clasp: pics do the talking.
- Dial: the rep green is a shade or two lighter. Slightly more sunburst. I'll take some more photos in sunlight (once I have some) to better capture the color difference.
- Caseback: rep does not sit flush with case as it should

Over all quality, look and feel: Scary close to gen considering this is about 1/17th the cost

Noob has date set at 10

I have two questions:
1) what’s about the quality/feeling of bezel (when you turn) and the visual quality of insert? Does they look very close?
2) apart from thinner lugs, how do you see differences in dimensions/shape that are noticeable? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. Would be great if you could share day time pics too. Also how do the bezel compare?

- The bezel has a little room for improvement in feel but it's close enough. The clicking of the bezel is slightly higher pitch on the rep.
- I do not. To be honest, I don't even see the difference in lugs. Not something I notice

No sun light currently but these do a better job showing the difference in dial color

damn... you guys are worried about the lugs? Look at that dial. The sunburst finishing is so cheap looking. The GEN does not create those horrible lines when hit by light. Everyone that knows how refined the sunburst from the gen is, will feel that there is something wrong with your watch

You can see that in all of the pictures this thing happens. In strong light, it will be even worse. I have noticed the same problem in some ARF models. BP is usually better with sunbursts.

Look again, in every single picture you will be able to tell wich one is fake, based on the way the sunburst reflects light. It will only look good in diffuse light

A camera can't capture the difference - the gen green is out of 'gamut'.

So if it looks similar in a photograph it does not means it looks similar in real life.

Personally i dont love the hulk i like it but dont love it ,LN is better , after all o this pics(THX nobigdeal2010 ) i will say that Noob did improve a bit the bezel but they will never get near close tot the green dial color or bezel green.

Very nice review. Thanks for sharing. What annoys me the most about noob subs is the ugly pearl. It just sticks out like a sore thumb to my eyes. They should also have the AR cyclops perfected by now....but they haven’t. The rest is close enough for my taste, minor colour differences don’t bother me.

Thanks for the comparison!

The Insert is actually very close.
