What will the movement be?

Same. There is only one movement that has the necessary features. It is cheap and reliable - there is no reason to try to improve it in any way from a factory or seller perspective.

Glue DW and GMT wheel overlays on and done.

Oh yeah, it has a pretty nice but completely useless deco plate and a pretty rotor too.

I don't know tbh. Picked it up M2M but it didn't specify when I checked the old ad.

Yours is a Noob V1 bro. The biggest tell is the GMT wheel at 22 - 24. The V1 numerals are printed straight and don't follow the arc of the space. Also the dots are smaller on the V1. Note the difference in spacing between the two numerals of the 22 and 24.

Also the spacing between ROLEX and the red triangle is better on the JNF (on left). JNF dial coronet is better too.

Always a learning experience Sir, thank you :graman:

im also interested in the skydweller , but all the different factories make it a bit of a night mare, i really would like a Noob version , trusty time has them listed as

ROLSKD010B - Skydweller 326934 SS/SS Blue Noob Asian 23J

Are these legit Noobs , im being offered one that is claimed as a Noob v2 , but this one is 14mm thick which doesnt sound right , i have no idea where to ask tbh , id like to create a new thread but no doubt it will be closed and told to look , despite searching non stop i cant find proper answers

KJ2020 So this Noob v2 that I posted a link to is just another term for JNF?

Those have all the hallmarks of the JNF bro. As far as we know Noob is not reborn and Noob never made a V2 so that's all I can say. JNF may be some regrouping of old Noob workers as "J" has been used a lot recently for "new" factories - JVS, JDF, JCF, etc. In any case these new Skydwellers look pretty good to me and the bezel has been reported as working well, unlike the JWF which had multiple reports of loose bezels.

I notice Trusty just changed his listings within the last few days since I looked for the SS models. Those that used to say NOOB now say JNF

Any idea where I could find a jubilee bracelet for my Noob Sky-Dweller?

Anyone know if theres a vers 2.0 of this model yet, or has it been unchanged since the Noob release?

It appears that the 22 on the GMT dial has been fixed and curves in now. Waiting for some real life pics. Then probably get two tone with champagne dial.
